2.2.3 Natural Ventilation
Natural ventilation is one of the most used techniques in natural refrigeration. It tries
to use outdoor air to dissipate the excess heat inside of the building. To produce
air movement inside the building there are different strategies: simple ventilation,
crossed ventilation, wind stack, wind towers,
Tromble-Michel
walls, solar stack,
solar-air collectors, halls, etc. (Bosqued et al.
2008
).
In this case, a crossed-ventilation strategy has been adopted (originated by means
of wind forces) for the passive fitting-out of the plant through the hottest months.
Crossed-ventilation is obtained throughout the opening of grilles in the doors located
on the south wall of the plant and on the upper contrary face, looking north. With
this, it is intended to refrigerate the plant by taking advantage of the south-north
orientation and the configuration of the inclined roof (Bosqued et al.
2008
).
