自然冷却循环的各种实用性和设计标准。将自然冷却循环定义为仅在冷却塔中实现冷却效果的任何冷冻水系统。报告了为确定各种自然冷却系统选项的能耗而开发的程序的应用，以比较这些选项并选择最佳设计。测试了将输入浓缩到系统评估中的各种方法，并与每小时评估的结果进行了比较。在系统评估程序中使用了平均日法，以测试不同的建筑设计参数对自然冷却设计的影响。在分析中确定了五个设计标准。关键词:冷却塔、设计、建筑、冷冻水供应、计算机程序、能耗引用: 研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。1991年，第97卷，第2部分

Analyses the design process for the natural cooling cycle and establishes criteria for the relative usefulness of various natural cooling options. Defines the natural cooling cycle as any chilled water system for which the cooling effect is achieved solely in the cooling tower. Reports the application of a program developed to determine energy consumption for various natural cooling system options to compares these options and select an optimal design. Various methods of condensing the input to the systems' evaluation were tested and compared with results of an hourly evaluation. The average day method was used in the system evaluation programme to test the effect of varying building design parameters on the design for natural cooling. Established five design criteria in the analysis.KEYWORDS: Cooling towers, designing, buildings, chilled water supply, computer programs, energy consumption
