Abstract: We analyze the energy saving obtainable by coupling a commercially available M-cycle evaporative cooling system to a conventional refrigeration cycle, for the air conditioning of office buildings in North Italy. The analysis is performed through the dynamic simulation of a case study. The hourly energy needs for cooling, dehumidifying and air change, during July and August, of a real office building located in Milan are considered. The climate of Milan is humid in summer, so that the example refers to critical conditions for the application of this technology in Italy.
