Design guidelines envisage that floor heating can be used together with displacement ventilation (DV), provided that the supply air is not overly heated before it can reach heat and contaminant sources. If this is not controlled a mixing flow pattern could occur in the room. The use of floor cooling with DV is also considered possible, although draught risk at ankle level and vertical air temperature differences must be controlled carefully, because they could increase.Few studies on these topics were found in the literature.An indoor environmental chamber was set up to obtain measurements aimed at analysing the possibilities and limitations of combining floor heating/cooling with DV. Air temperature profiles, air velocity profiles, surface temperatures and ventilation effectiveness were measured under different environmental conditions that may occur in practice. These values were compared to equivalent temperature measurements obtained using a thermal manikin.The measurements show that floor heating can be used with DV, obtaining high ventilation effectiveness values. A correlation between the floor heating capacity and the air temperature profile in the room was found. Measurements showed that floor cooling does not increase draught risk at ankle level, although it does increase vertical air temperature differences. 相似文献

The influence of location of airborne particle source, ventilation rate, air inlet size, supply air velocity, air outlet location, and heat source on the dkributiuns of airborne particle concentration and draught risk in an operating room is investigated. The investigation is carried out by using a flow program with the k-E mdel of turbulence. Based on a standard case, five cases, each with one changed parameter, are computed, and the detailed field distributions of air velocity, temperature, airborne particle concentration, and draught risk are presented. The parametric study concludes that, for a better air quality and thermal comfort, it is desirable to use a higher inflow rate, a larger inlet area, and a uniform velocity profile of supply air. Outlet location and heat source have little influence on the disrributions of the particle concentration in the room. It has also been found that the distributions of particle concentration in the recirculating zone are very sensitive to the location of the particle sources. 相似文献

During the winter period the natural convection flow along a cold window surface can be the cause of thermal discomfort. Warm air blown into the room near the window prevents occupants from draught risk. The paper presents a new formula for determining a minimum recommended value of inlet air velocity. A balance of a momentum flux of flow of the down draught currents and the warm air jet inflow from the UFAD (under floor air distribution) system was a base for the analytical solution. In order to estimate air movement in a typical room, numerical simulations are executed. A computational model of the room with the UFAD system is constructed within the CFD environment developed by Fluent Inc. Ten cases with varying inlet air parameters and a window U-value are considered. The analytical estimation of minimum inlet air velocity is confirmed by simulation results of temperature and velocity distributions. 相似文献

Passive chilled beams are often used to provide cooling or additional cooling when the ventilation system cannot cope with the whole cooling load. The advantage of passive cooling is that it is a silent cooling. Often the chilled beams are installed above a false ceiling and thereby the room is subdivided into two compartments. From the chilled beam a plume is generated. Make-up air (return air) needs to flow into the upper compartment to substitute the airflow generated by the chilled beam. Therefore openings for this purpose are installed in the false ceiling. Small openings constitute a resistance to the flow and the locations of the openings affect the flow pattern. The overall performance was studied in a mock-up of a real office by changing both the size and position of the openings for the make-up air. A uniform heating source was arranged by covering the floor with a heating foil. The best location and size of the openings were explored by both recording the heat absorbed by the beam and the temperature in the room. Minimum temperature attained in the room is the signature of the most efficient cooling. To achieve efficient cooling with a uniform floor-based heating source, two conditions must be fulfilled: a) the return opening area must be at least equal to the horizontal area of the chilled beam; b) the return air openings must be located at the perimeter of the room. 相似文献

In the modern office environment there are numerous heat generating equipment, heat loads from solar radiation and heat produced by people. The loads will often exceed the load the ventilation system can cope with. To meet this demand on extra cooling capacity the commercial market provides cooling ceiling panels and chilled beams. A chilled beam is a source of natural convection, creating a flow, vulnerable to disturbances, of cold air into the occupied zone. Experiments have been conducted in a mock up of an office room; qualitative information has been obtained by visualisation. Instantaneous velocity profiles of the airflow generated by the chilled beam has been registered. In addition, the temperature field below the chilled beam has been measured with a whole field measuring technique. The results show that the airflow from the chilled beam has behaviour similar to a two-dimensional plume but exhibits strong oscillation both sideways and along the chilled beam. These oscillations (intermittence) might cause a sensation of draught but in order to clarify this further investigations are required. Furthermore, airflow generated by heat sources in the room may reverse the flow generated by the chilled beam. 相似文献

Rooms with high windows are likely to have comfort problems caused by cold air down draught, which are usually solved by placing heating appliances underneath the windows. In the city of Zug, Switzerland, a highly insulated educational building with a concrete core system for heating and cooling is planned. The purpose of our investigation was to find out whether any measures are necessary in this building to compensate the effects of down draught in the occupied zone. Special attention has been paid to the effect of passive measures like air flow obstacles or openings in the window sill. Experiments were carried out in a room climate laboratory on 1:1 scale to measure the down draught and the thermal comfort in the occupied zone. Several configurations of window sizes, insulating standards and outside temperatures were investigated. In addition, the results were compared to values obtained from analytical calculations and from literature. The conclusion was that the window frame, not the window pane, is the critical element and that there will be no unacceptable draught risk in the occupied zone, as long as the window frame is also highly insulating. Therefore, no additional measures to compensate the down draught were planned for the building in Zug. Furthermore, it was found that the down draught is not only dependent on the window temperature but also on the heat load in the room, i.e. a heat load increases the boundary layer thickness and decreases its peak velocity. 相似文献

Measurements were carried out in an office-type experimental room ventilated by a floor return-type underfloor ventilation system to investigate the distributions of airflow velocity and air temperature. A fan-powered floor air unit (FAU) with rectangular supply and return air outlets covered by straight-profile linear bar-type air diffusers was installed to deliver the conditioned air in the experimental room. Turbulence intensity and draught rate distributions inside the room were also calculated by using the measured data. From the experimental results, it is found that undesirable high air velocities and high draught rates were created within a small region near the supply outlet of the FAU. Temperature differences between different height levels were maintained within an acceptable comfort level under the tested supply air conditions and heat loads. The results indicated that the temperature stratification could be maintained at an acceptable comfort level by designing the supply air conditions properly. A clearance zone is suggested as a design consideration for locating the FAUs and occupants to avoid undesirable draught discomfort to the occupants. 相似文献

Experimental parametric study of forced and mixed convection in a passenger aircraft cabin mock-up 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Forced and mixed convection has been investigated experimentally in a full scale passenger aircraft cabin mock-up. The mock-up represents a generic cabin section of the A380 upper deck. Large scale particle image velocimetry (PIV) and temperature field measurements were conducted in a cross sectional plane of the cabin mock-up. The flow fields for two different air inlet configurations were measured and analysed under isothermal and cooling conditions. Furthermore the flow rates at the different air inlet positions were varied while keeping the air exchange rate constant. Our extensive experimental parametric study demonstrates that the flow field in aircraft cabins is affected by various fluid mechanical phenomena. Interaction between the supplied air jets, negative buoyancy forces acting on these air jets and interaction of thermal plumes with the supplied air jets, all influence the flow field inside the cabin. The impact of these effects differs considerably depending on the ventilation configuration and relative mass flow settings at the supply inlets. 相似文献

The present article reports on a ventilation system that uses impinging air jets to remove a portion of the heat generated
in DC/AC converter towers. Each tower is a vertical stack of electronic components used in the power conversion. Airflow from
the ventilation system enters the room through inlet ports located on the ground at two opposite sides of the DC/AC converter
towers. The existing ventilation system circulates sufficient airflow in terms of the total heating load; however, elevated
temperatures were reported within the towers due to poor air circulation. A numerical study has been conducted to investigate
steady three-dimensional (3-D) turbulent mixed (combined free and forced) convection air cooling of vertical stacks of heat-generating
blocks simulating typical towers in two valve halls of a DC/AC power converter station. The simulation results include the
magnitudes of the net airflows for all the inter-block gaps, the maximum temperature in each gap, and the flow structure represented
by streamlines at various locations of the 3-D domain. The location of the inlet, the inlet size and aspect ratio, and the
location on the tower at which the airflow was aimed were varied parametrically to improve the ventilation relative to the
existing design. These results demonstrate that, for fixed inlet mass flow rate, all the towers’ heat generating surfaces
can be kept under 60°C via simple modifications of the variables used in the parametric study. 相似文献

Airflow and temperature distributions in an enclosure with heat sources ventilated by floor supply jets with floor or ceiling air exit vents were investigated using experimental and numerical approaches. These ventilation configurations represent the floor return or the top return underfloor ventilation systems found in real applications. Experiments and numerical simulations were performed on a full-sized environmental chamber. The results reveal that the temperature stratification in the enclosure highly depended on the thermal length scale of the floor supply jets. When the thermal length scale of the supply jet was >1, temperature stratification was minor for all tested heat densities and air distribution methods. Significant vertical temperature gradients occurred when the jet thermal length scale was <1. Changes in air distribution methods also became significant for temperature stratification at small supply jet thermal length scales. Temperature stratification also affected the terminal height of the momentum-dominant region of the vertical buoyant supply jets. The applicability of these results to underfloor ventilation design was also discussed. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: In designing underfloor ventilation systems, supply jet conditions and heat load density have to be considered to avoid thermal discomfort because of excessive temperature stratifications. This study demonstrated, by both numerical simulations and experiments, that thermal length scale can be used as a design indicator to predict thermal stratifications under a floor return and a top return underfloor ventilation setting. 相似文献

Thermal comfort aspects in a room vary with different space heating methods. The main focus in this study was how different heating systems and their position affect the indoor climate in an exhaust-ventilated office under Swedish winter conditions. The heat emitters used were a high and a medium–high temperature radiator, a floor heating system and large wall heating surfaces at low temperature. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were used to investigate possible cold draught problems, differences in vertical temperature gradients, air speed levels and energy consumption. Two office rooms with different ventilation systems and heating needs were evaluated. Both systems had high air exchange rates and cold infiltration air. 相似文献

Results of measurements of the room air flow properties in an office space environment (4.74 m × 4.87 m × 2.87 m) with and without partitions (acoustical screens) are presented. The measurements included air flow pattern, air speed, and turbulence intensity. The profiles of the mean speed and the turbulence kinetic energy at the supply air opening are also presented. The data show the effect of using acoustical screens (with various heights and a gap between the floor and the bottom of the screen) on the air flow pattern and the air flow properties within the room. These data are intended for use in the evaluation of the existing numerical and scale models, and to aid in furthering the understanding of the behaviour of room ventilation airflows. 相似文献

This article presents an experimental analysis of cooling buildings using nighttime cold accumulation in a phase change material (PCM), otherwise known as the “free-cooling principle”. Studies of the ceiling and floor free-cooling principle, as well as passive cooling, are presented. The free-cooling principle is explained and some of the types of PCMs suitable for summer cooling are listed. An experiment was conducted using paraffin with a melting point of 22 °C as the PCM to store cold during the nighttime and to cool hot air during the daytime in summer. Air temperatures and heat fluxes as a function of time are presented for different air velocities and inlet temperatures. 相似文献

This paper is concerned with the development of a mathematical model, capable of describing the quasi-steady state performance of an integrated ground source heat pump, which is used for heating and cooling of an institutional building located in a Mediterranean climate. The model is structured on functional basis according to the heat pump vapour compression or primary circuit, a secondary ground loop circuit and a secondary building loop circuit. Heat pump heating and cooling capacities, as well as COP, are considered to be dependent variables and are estimated in the model using performance fitted maps. Independent variables include: compressor speed, circulation pump speeds, ground loop return temperature and building circuit return temperature. The model is validated using data from a full-scale ground source heat pump installation. The validated model is used to examine system capacity and performance sensitivity to different control optimisation strategies, including set-point control of room air temperature, room air bandwidth temperature, building loop return water temperature and building loop return bandwidth temperature. 相似文献

This work deals with experimental investigations on human reaction to local air movements of people in global thermal comfort, performing light activity. An analysis on draught risk was developed comparing the results with previous research findings on human response to draught. The intensity of air velocity, in terms of mean value and relative turbulence, was referred to the level at which normally clothed people could perceive and feel air movements behind the neck, in global neutral thermal condition. This work provides evidence of how the exposure duration to air movements plays a fundamental role on air flow sensitivity. The human reaction to an air flow was observed to vary with exposure duration: the feeling changes in intensity while the air flow persists blowing constantly. Moreover, different reactions have been observed between female and male test persons. Although these results were observed in the typical situation of horizontal air jet flows blowing from behind, they could apply in climatically controlled environments, where air flow is supplied horizontally at low speed, and the occupants are sitting far from the inlet section. 相似文献

A passive chilled beam is a source of natural convection, creating a flow of cold air directly into the occupied zone. Experiments were conducted in a mock-up of an office room to study the air velocities in the occupied spaces. In addition, velocity profiles are registered when underneath heat loads exist and the cool and warm air flows interact. Experimental laboratory study revealed that in the case of the underneath heat gains, even no upward plume was generated and the dummy only acted as a flow obstacle, having a significant effect on the velocity profile. Furthermore, in an actual occupied office environment, the thermal plumes and the supply air diffuser mixed effectively the whole air volume. The maximum air velocity measured was still below 0.25 m/s with the extremely high heat gain of 164 W/m2. The results demonstrate that analysis methods were the interaction of convection flow and jet are not taken into account could not accurately describe air movement and draught risk in the occupied room space. 相似文献
