Author(s) : OLIVIERI J. B., SINGH T.

Summary

THE PAPER REPORTS ON STUDIES OF PLANTS DESIGNED FOR STRATIFICATION WHICH DID NOT WORK AND STUDIES OF THE LOCATION OF SUPPLY AND RETURN DEVICES ANDTHEIR EFFECT ON STRATIFICATION. THESE STUDIES WERE DONE IN A ONE THIRD SCALE TEST CHAMBER. THE GREATEST STRATIFICATION OCCURRED WHEN A COMBINATION SUPPLY RETURN AIR DEVICE WAS USED. THIS DEVICE WAS LATER TESTED IN A FULL SCALE EXPERIMENTWHERE IT REDUCED POWER CONSUMPTION BY FROM 33 TO 50% WHEN COMPARED TO A STANDARD STRATIFICATION DESIGN. IN ADDITION, THE AUTHORS REPORT ON THE USE OF RADIANT COOLING AS A MEANS OF INCREASING STRATIFICATION.
