STUDY ON THERMAL COMFORT OF A LOW-PARTITION AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM.

Summary

DESCRIBES A STUDY OF THE THERMAL ENVIRONMENT AND THERMAL COMFORT CREATED BY A NEW AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR INTELLIGENT OFFICES. NOTES INTELLIGENT OFFICES HAVE DEMANDS SUCH AS PERSONAL AIR CONDITIONING, AND HAVE COOLING LOADS ABOUT TWICE AS HIGH AS THOSE OF CONVENTIONAL OFFICES AND HEAT GENERATIONIS OFTEN CONCENTRATED IN LOCATIONS SURROUNDED BY LOW PARTITIONS. INVESTIGATES THE AIR TEMPERATURE AND VELOCITY DISTRIBUTIONS AND THERMAL COMFORT CONDITIONS CREATED BY THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR SPACES DEFINED BY LOW PARTITIONS. CONCLUDES IT GIVES SATISFACTORY COMFORT CONDITIONS AND IS SUITABLE FOR PERSONAL AIR CONDITIONING WITH ENERGY CONSERVATION. (INT. BUILD. SERV. ABSTR., GB., 25, N 5, 1990/09-10, 90-01415.
