Summary

Notes that low temperature air cooling systems can deliver air to spaces at between 3 and 11 deg C, in contrast to conventional cooling systems, with temperatures of 13 to 15 deg C. The reduced supply temperature leads to a lower conditioned air volume requirement and a consequent reduction in plant and duct size. Furthermore, energy costs can be reduced, particularly when low temperature air systems are linked to some form of thermal storage which uses off-peak electrical power. Supplies guidelines to the use of low temperature air systems, with particular emphasis on room air movement. The guidelines have been developed from computer-based predictions of the thermal environment in a typical two-person office, cooled by low-temperature air supplied by slot diffusers. In addition, gives an analysis of the potential occurrence of condensation.
