Abstract(s)
Evaporative systems are probably the oldest technology for thermal comfort. However,
they are still an essential technology in the food industry, environments for thermal comfort, and
even for cooling data centers. Standards have been improved to compare the energy efficiency of
this type of equipment. Using AHRI concepts with temperature data from the 29 most populous
cities in the world, an EvaCOP index was created from temperatures that are easier to simulate than
current parameters. The index parameters were tested in a laboratory located in Curitiba (Brazil).
EvaCOP values of 45.58 and 25.77 W/W were found in the calculation in two different simulated
equipment and compared with the compression cycle systems that in the most efficient machines is
around 6.29 W/W.
