Indoor airflow with cooling panel and radiative/convective heat source.

Author(s) : JIANG Z., CHEN Q., MOSER A.

Summary

The paper numerically studies the effects of a radiative heat source and a cooling panel on indoor airflow, temperature stratification, and dispersion of contaminants in a furnished office with displacement ventilation. It has been found that a ceiling-mounted cooling panel can not only reduce the vertical temperature stratification but also strengthen the air movement. With the same total heat, the increase in the portion of radiative heat may enhance air movement and contaminant dispersion. Also, the air temperature in the central region becomes lower.
