Abstract
A review of nocturnal cooling systems for space cooling is presented. The cooling systems are grouped into two broad categories, namely, the air cooling system and the water cooling system. Their performance, uses and applications, and the factors considered for their selection are reported. Also, studies aimed at determining the quantities of net night sky radiation in different locations are reviewed. Generally, most locations can provide net night sky radiation above 40 W/m2, while the nocturnal coolers have the potential for reducing space temperatures by between 2 and 4°C and can yield 14−48% savings in the energy demand of a building. Actual field testing experience, together with the prospects and problems that affect popularization of the systems, are also presented. Possible solutions are suggested.
