About the Performance Tables and Maps
The
first step in determining if a Coolerado Cooler is right for a given
application is to determine how it will perform based on outdoor ambient
air conditions. Air temperature and humidity must both be
considered.
The R600 Performance Tables use
well-established data from the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating,
Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers) Fundamentals Handbook
Tables 1A and 1B. All locations from the ASHRAE table have been
included.
All
temperature calculations for the Coolerado R600 are based on testing the
Department of Energy conducted on a Coolerado Cooler at the National
Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado (a 95 percent wet bulb
approach when un-ducted at approximately 5,000 feet above sea level);
and testing that Pacific Gas and Electric Company did at its facility
near Sacramento, California (a 90 percent wet bulb approach when
un-ducted near sea level).
Each location is color coded into one of
three categories based on qualified, objective comparison to the ASHRAE
thermal human comfort criteria outlined at the beginning of each
document. The three categories for Coolerado Cooler application
are:
1.
Appropriate for most applications
2. Appropriate for most residential and industrial, and many
commercial applications
3. Appropriate for pre-cooling and industrial applications
The data indicates that Coolerado Coolers
are appropriate for most applications in arid, semi-arid and semi-humid
climates.
