摘要：

An experimental mathematical model that calculates the performance of a passive evaporative cool tower (also known as downdraft evaporative chimney), has been developed by Cunningham and Thompson. The model calculates the tower's exit air temperature, flow rate and the speed of the air exiting from the tower, and the diurnal patterns of the indoor temperature of a lightweight building cooled by this system. Initial validation of the model, by comparing predictions with independent measurements of the indoor temperature of the test building, was done by Cunningham et al. In its present state the applicability of the model is limited to the use of evaporating pads of the type used in the Tucson study (CELdek) cooling a lightweight building (stud wall construction).
