Abstract
The research examines the impact of various climatic elements on human comfort, focusing on achieving thermal balance and optimal comfort for the human body through air cooling systems utilizing chillers. It also involves calculating the amount of water drainage required for this purpose. This study was conducted in residential homes situated within the municipal boundaries of the Al-Alam District in Salah al-Din Governorate. The objective was to determine the monthly water drainage necessary for maintaining comfort and to assess the role of climatic elements in influencing this drainage.
The practical applied study focused on refrigerants throughout each month of the year 2022. The research aimed to understand the monthly variations in water drainage influenced by climatic factors, specifically temperature, relative humidity, and wind. It determined the extent to which these elements affect the volume of water drainage and established a statistical model that allows for the prediction of monthly water drainage quantities. This model enables the estimation of water drainage based on statistical analysis, without the need for field measurements of the monthly water discharge from the coolers. Consequently, the study provided insights into the monthly and annual water requirements for cooling purposes in the designated area.
