Abstract

The study aims to evaluate the cooling performance of automatic spraying of water on the roof surface in order to reduce the indoor air temperature in a humid tropical climate. Ceiling spraying can be considered as an evaporation cooling strategy. Firstly, the approach has been tested in a cell test constructed with corrugated sheets for the walls and roof of cement. It is important to note that spraying water can reduce the temperature of the roof area by an average of 5°C. However, lowering the roof temperature cannot be guaranteed to directly reduce the mean indoor air temperature. To achieve a greater advantage of reducing the temperature of the ceiling is necessary to spray water in 20-25 minutes approximately and carried out continuously. Secondly, it has been applied automatic water spraying on the roof. The utilization of sensors, actuators, and controllers are an inseparable part, with the intention of this device will respond vigorously when the roof surface temperature reached a certain threshold, and automatically turns on the pump to spray water. The device has been practiced; it still needs more elaboration for its reliability and investigations on the reuse of water after spraying to allow to reduce energy consumption in buildings. In general, to achieve thermal comfort in buildings in a humid tropical climate, persons applying cross-ventilation to cool the air in the room and prevent overheating. Cross ventilation is a very popular path to achieve thermal comfort; yet, at that place are other techniques that allow reducing the problem of excessively high temperature in the room in the constructions. This study focuses on evaporator-cooled roof applications. Spraying water on the surface of the ceiling has been executed on the test cell and the reuse of water after being sprayed
