About this document
PDEC Cooling System: Case Studies in Portugal by Claudia Melo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes two case studies analyzing the thermal and dynamic modeling of Passive Downdraught Evaporative Cooling (PDEC) towers. The first case studied a traditional chimney in Moura, Portugal retrofitted with a PDEC shower system. Measurements found that activating the shower lowered exit air temperatures from the chimney by 4-10°C and increased relative humidity. The second case involved using CFD modeling to design a PDEC tower for a private house in Castelo Branco, Portugal to ensure efficie
