VERIFICATION OF STRATIFIED AIR-CONDITIONING DESIGN.

Author(s) : BAGHERI H. M., GORTON R. L.

Summary

EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED IN A FULL-SIZED FACILITY TO PROVIDE VERIFICATION OF THE RESULTS OF EARLIER SCALE MODEL STUDIES OF THE COOLING LOAD RESPONSE OF A STRATIFIED-COOLED SYSTEM. THE EXPERIMENTS WERE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE MAGNITUDE OF THE BUILDING COOLING LOAD AS A FUNCTION OF SUPPLY DIFFUSER HEIGHT, RETURN HEIGHT, INTERNAL LOAD MAGNITUDE, AND SUPPLY AIRFLOW RATE AND TEMPERATURE. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE LOWER ZONE OF A HIGH-CEILING BUILDING CAN BE ISOLATED EFFECTIVELY FROM POTENTIAL COOLING LOADS ORIGINATING IN THE UPPER ZONE BY USE OF AN INTENTIONALLY STRATIFIED SYSTEM.
