Thermal analysis of roof‐spray cooling
International Journal of Energy Research, 1998 Roof-spray cooling systems have been developed and implemented to reduce the heat gain through roofs so that conventional cooling systems can be reduced in size or eliminated. Currently, roof-spray systems are achieving greater effectiveness due to the availability of direct digital controls (DDC).
