Experimental investigation of the velocity field and air flow pattern generated by cooling ceiling beams.

Summary

A cooling beam is a source of natural convection, creating a transport of cold air into the occupied zone. Furthermore, natural convection flows are vulnerable to disturbances. The test results show that the air-flow from the chilled beam exhibits strong oscillations both sideways and along the chilled beam. Furthermore, air-flow generated by heat sources in the room may reverse the flow generated by the chilled beam.
