This section contains tables that are commonly used for the design and sizing of evaporative cooling equipment, reproduced from Chapter 14 of the 2013 ASHRAE Handbook-Fundamentals.
› OverviewThe data presented in the tables represents different climatic conditions throughout North America. Dry-bulb temperature data represents the sensible component of outdoor air, whereas wet-bulb temperature data represents the amount of moisture that the air can evaporate. Evaporative cooling equipment selection is based on wet-bulb temperature, as units rely on the process of evaporation to reject heat.
Columns in the table are organized to present dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures corresponding to 0.4%, 1% and 2% annual cumulative frequency of occurrence. Each temperature in a column represents the value that is exceeded by the indicated percentage of hours in a year (8,760). For instance, according to Appendix: Design Conditions for Selected Locations from the 2013 ASHRAE Handbook-Fundamentals, the wet-bulb temperature in Huntsville, Alabama will exceed 78.4ºF as shown in Evaporation WB/MCDB column on average 35 hours (0.4%) in any given year. As cooling systems must be designed to meet the peak cooling load, most comfort cooling and light industrial application designs are based on 0.4% annual cumulative frequency of occurrence.
