Abstract:

A study is presented on the feasibility of designing and constructing, for test purposes, an evaporative type cooling system located within an underground shelter hardened to withstand an air-blast overpressure of 600 psi. The study includes the analysis of two 2 Government-furnished basic evaporative cooling concepts resulting in presentation of conclusions, recommendations and cost comparison of these systems and the preparation of the design calculations, specifications and construction drawings of the selected system.
