Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Evaporative cooling

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

Sangeetha:

I have not tried to model evaporative cooling towers.  For starters, 
you could certainly model an evaporative cooler and force a given 
airflow through the towers and into the occupied spaces.  The next 
step would be to evaporatively cool a zone at the top of the tower 
and let the COMIS model move the air into the occupied spaces.  But 
COMIS cannot model flow through large horizontal openings, so I am 
not sure if you can model the flow within the tower properly.
