PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF NATURAL-DRAFT AIR-COOLERS FOR SUBWAY TUNNEL COOLING

Recently, the air temperature in subway tunnels has risen to more than 30 degrees C due to the heat of many electric cars, many passengers, etc. Then, the natural-draft type air-coolers have made it possible for use to cool the air in the subway tunnel as low as 20 degrees C. The authors believe that the method will be the first development in the field of subway tunnel cooling. In this paper, authors present a method of analysis for a natural-draft type air-cooler and delineate the performance of a natural-draft type air-cooler under various conditions obtained by use of a digital computer.
