CHARACTERISTICS OF AIR FLOW AND AIR TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTIONS IN THE ROOM IN CASE OF CEILING-SUSPENDED SPLIT TYPE AIR CONDITIONERS.

Summary

EXPERIMENTS WERE PERFORMED TO CLARIFY THE AIR FLOW AND AIR TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTIONS IN A MODEL ROOM HEATED BY BLOWN WARM AIR FROM A MODEL OF AN INDOOR CEILING-SUSPENDED SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONER. MEASUREMENTS WERE MADE OF THE LOCAL AIR VELOCITIES AND LOCAL AIR TEMPERATURES BY VARYING THE SUPPLY AIR TEMPERATURES, THE SUPPLY AIR VELOCITIES AND THE AIR JET ANGLE OF THE MODEL INDOOR UNIT. BASED ON THE LOCAL AIR VELOCITY AND LOCAL AIR TEMPERATURE DATA, THE THERMAL COMFORT INDEX (ADPI) WAS EVALUATED. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE VALUE OF THEADPI INCREASED WITH AN INCREASE IN THE SUPPLY AIR VELOCITY. THE VALUE OF ADPI FIRST DECREASED WITH THE AIR JET ANGLE AND THEN INCREASED WITH AN INCREASING AIR JET ANGLE.
