Movie Theaters

The high latent to sensible loads and outdoor air fractions in movie theaters present a significant challenge to conventional systems. Revolution can handle all the latent load, from the outdoor air to the building occupants. This allows the use of smaller rooftop units for each theater, reduces duct size, improves humidity control and indoor air quality resulting in increased customer comfort.

Application Type	Outdoor Air	Supply Conditions (3)		Tons Required (4)
Application Type	Outdoor Air	Temperature	Humidity	Revolution	Conventional	Increase
Movie Theater	100%	75°F	44 grains (45° dpt.)	31	52	68%

Notes:
1. Revolution applied as a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) sized to handle all outdoor and space latent loads.
2. Theater example assumes a space condition of 75°F/50%RH.
3. Supply conditions necessary to maintain the space at 75°F/50%RH. Assumes outdoor design of 85°F/130 grains, typical building size and construction used for each application and high efficiency lighting in accordance with ASHRAE 90.1 (dpt. = dew point).
4. Revolution is compared with a conventional cooling system sized to cool air to the required dew point, the regeneration energy required by the Revolution is equal to or less than the reheat energy required by the conventional system.
