    A typical evaporative, forced draft open-loop cooling tower rejecting heat from the condenser water loop of an industrial chiller unit Natural draft wet cooling hyperboloid towers at Didcot Power Station (UK) Forced draft wet cooling towers (height: 34 meters) and natural draft wet cooling tower (height: 122 meters) in Westphalia, Germany Natural draft wet cooling tower in Dresden (Germany)

  3. Ventilation (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(architecture)

    Natural ventilation is the intentional passive flow of outdoor air into a building through planned openings (such as louvers, doors, and windows). Natural ventilation does not require mechanical systems to move outdoor air. Instead, it relies entirely on passive physical phenomena, such as wind pressure, or the stack effect. Natural ventilation ...

  4. Windcatcher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windcatcher

    The evaporative cooling within a windtower causes the air in the tower to sink, driving circulation. This is called passive downdraught evaporative cooling (PDEC). It may also be generated using spray nozzles (which have a tendency to get blocked if the water is hard) or cold-water cooling coils (like hydronic underfloor heating in reverse).

    Canton Tower, Guangzhou, China Kobe Port Tower, Kobe, Japan Cooling tower, Puertollano, Spain. This page is a list of hyperboloid structures. These were first applied in architecture by Russian engineer Vladimir Shukhov (1853–1939). Shukhov built his first example as a water tower (hyperbolic shell) for the 1896 All-Russian Exposition.

    The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of a unit is the cooling output during a typical cooling-season divided by the total electric energy input during the same period. The higher the unit's SEER rating the more energy efficient it is. smoke damper A damper or adjustable louver designed to augment the ventilation of a space during ...

    Mechanical equipment (elevator engine, cooling tower, and boiler) serving a high rise condominium, concealed within a decorative concrete enclosure to match the exterior of building The mechanical penthouse (housing HVAC machinery) of Dodd Hall at UCLA is seen disguised as a bell tower with louvers provided for ventilation.

  8. Louver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louver

    Modern louvers are often made of aluminum, metal, wood, or glass.They may be opened and closed with a metal lever, pulleys, or through motorized operators. [3]The Australian Standard specifies requirements for the construction of buildings using louver in bushfire-prone areas in order to improve their resistance to bushfire attack from burning embers, radiant heat, flame contact and ...

    Hence they are more commonly used in purpose-driven structures, such as water towers (to support a large mass), cooling towers, and aesthetic features. [3] A hyperbolic structure is beneficial for cooling towers. At the bottom, the widening of the tower provides a large area for installation of fill to promote thin film evaporative cooling of ...
