Hydraulic-powered fan coil for advanced hydronic distribution systems. 1. Thermal performance and energy characterization of conventional fan coil units.

Author(s) : BASKIN E., VINEYARD E. A., IBRAHIM E. A.

Summary

The paper reports the testing of two conventional fan-coil units of different size in a controlled environment rig to determine their thermal performance and energy requirements during cooling operation. It is found that for both units, the sensible heat ratio and outlet air temperature are reduced when the water flow rate through the coil is increased and/or the fan speed is decreased. For the same inlet air and water conditions, the sensible heat ratio and outlet air temperature of the smaller fan-coil unit are lower than their counterparts of the larger unit.
