Individual Thermal Environments of Building with a Novel Air-Conditioning Energy-Saving Equipment

Abstract:

Individual air-conditioning system (IACS) can create an individual thermal environment control in a workroom which can contribute to save air-conditioning energy. In this study, we analyze the airflow circulation cell of the IACS with varied outlet port opening dimensions using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique. We created an IACS, two workstations, lightings, and a cabinet in a 3-dimensional room. The fluid was assumed to be Newtonian, unsteady, and incompressible. We examined the effects of the outlet port opening on airflow circulation establishing process. Results will indicate the suitable outlet port opening for maintaining individual satisfied occupants’ requirements and improving energy saving potential.
