Summary

In this study, a concept of effective fresh air efficiency defined on the basis of per-unit-effective-fresh-air is proposed and the leakage effect on efficiency is examined with experiments. Both heat and mass transfer effectiveness of THXs were compared with that of the Japan Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Industry Association standards (JRAIA). The results showed that the energy-saving index, or THX effectiveness, of JRA overestimated the performance of THXs if air leakage was present.
