研究了岩石床再生式间接蒸发冷却系统（RBR）的功能特性。这项研究分为两部分:第一部分是关于系统热力学行为的实验研究，第二部分是关于模拟其性能的数学方法的开发。基于岩床的间接蒸发冷却系统用于热交换和/或储存，在技术上适用于不需要室外空气除湿的地区。用于模拟的数学模型跟踪实验数据，从而为系统设计者提供了一个有价值的工具。岩床再生冷却系统为昂贵的空调机组和舒适性有限的蒸发冷却器提供了一个可行的替代方案，以提供舒适条件。 它还提供了电力需求和消耗方面的运营节约潜力，因此在当前电价和提议的新需求费率收费下，成本节约。引文:密歇根州底特律ASHRAE学报第85卷第2部分研讨会

A study was made of the functional characteristics of a rock bed regenerative indirect evaporative cooling system (RBR). The study was divided into two portions: The first dealing with the experimental investigation of the thermodynamic behavior of the system and the second with the development of a mathematical method of simulating its performance. Indirect evaporative cooling systems based on rock beds for heat exchange and/or storage are technically feasible for regions that do not require dehumidification of outdoor air for comfort. The mathematical model used for the simulation tracks the experimental data, thus providing the system designer with a valuable tool. The rock bed regenerative cooling system offers a viable alternative to the expensive air-conditioning unit and the comfort limited evaporative cooler for providing comfort conditions. It also offers an operating savings potential in both electrical demand and consumption and therefore a cost savings under current electrical rates and the proposednew demand rate charges.
