Nothing says a re-circulating tunnel can't draw outside air to cool it down too, although the outdoor 100 temps will be useless... Commercial office buildings use “make up units” to draw outside air in Colorado to cool them whenever the outside temp is colder than the inside temp and they want the inside temp to go down…. I also overheard someone who knows about the design of this exact tunnel talking about the fact that the tunnel will be effectively pressurized, and the second the tunnel is turned on, the heat will raise a few degrees just because of the increase pressure in the air. They started giving very specific numbers… Think lapse rate... 3-5 degrees for every 1000 feet, so if the tunnel pressure changes the same as of 1000 feet of altitude change, which is not much in the terms of pressure, expect a few degree sudden warmup... Now, I think the Perris tunnel is under a vacuum, since the motors are at the top pulling air… That would cool it down some… Anyone taken an altimeter into a tunnel before to see the pressure changes???

Every damn day in July! I wonder if the reason is efficiency. Recirc tunnels are more efficient because the air entering the fan already has momentum, vs an open tunnel where all of the incoming air must be accelerated by the fan. And if the tunnel is pressurized, that would perhaps enable the tunnel to operate at a lower velocity due to internally being at a lower density-altitude."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
