Abstract:

The aim of this work is to develop and justify methods for increasing efficiency of systems of microclimate basing on the use of natural cold. To this end, it is necessary to prove  economic benefits of using natural cold in the systems of microclimate.

Basing on the normative data a summary table was compiled with climatic conditions of some Ukrainian cities with the aim of determining efficiency coefficients for the air conditioning systems and refrigeration systems using natural outside cold air during the year.

The paper presents graphical dependences between changes of energy efficiency rate, factor of power correction for the cooling system and outside air temperature, which allow optimal using of natural and artificial cold in the microclimate systems.

An expected economic effect depends on the percentage of cold savings (when usage of natural cold from outside air is between 0.21 and 0.32 and cold from soil is between 0.29 and 0.35) and the desired system performance.

The results are used in "The Recommendations on Natural Cold Use in the Microclimate Systems" and "The Methods for Calculating Water Cooling Systems in the Open-Type Heat Exchangers (Nozzle Chambers) With Taking Into Account Climatic Zoning in Ukraine (Parameters of Outside Air) and Designs the Heat Exchangers (Bilateral Spray Nozzle С2-7)".

Keywords:
