Vent-convector: an experimental study.

Summary

An experimental study of the performance of a vent-convector is reported in this paper. Measurements have been conducted in a test room and in a school equipped with vent-convectors. Air flow and pressure drop characteristics were investigated for one type of vent-convector. The temperature variation at a step change of the air flow was also investigated. The results showed that a large under-pressure and a tight building are needed for the system to work as intended. The vent-convector gives a displacement ventilation with a stable supply temperature.
