A Passive Cooler For A Humid Climate, Steven Gilbert Ring
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This paper examine a passive cooling system for a humid climate. This system will be divided into two parts, a radiative system and an evaporative system combined into a roof pond system. Performance of the radiative system will be enhanced through the use of a selective cover which will make use of an atmospheric window between 8 and 13um. An attempt will also be made to thermally isolate the radiative system from convective gains with the evaporative system. The evaporative system will consist of a water, solvent and dye layer over the selective cover of the radiative system. The performance …
