Conclusion• A hybrid cooling system including an air conditioner
and a thermosiphon with individual loops is suggested to reduce total energy consumption for a typical BTS
• This system can be operated in three modes: air conditioning, thermosiphon, and dual
• The potential of saving energy is remarkable and by increasing the set point temperature the share of air conditioning mode is reduced while the share of thermosiphon is increased
