Study on the Adjustment Law of Supply Water Temperature of the Fan Coil Unit Based on Daily Air-Conditioning Load

Abstract:

A new adjustment law of supply water temperature of heat pump unit was presented by analyzing heat transfer performance and computing supply water temperature of fan coil unit (FCU) in this paper. The paper established the energy equations for air side, water side and FCU in dry and wet conditions, respectively. And the heat transfer performance of FCU was obtained by analyzing the manufacturers’ performance data. According to an actual central air-conditioning system of residential buildings, we calculated the daily inlet water temperature of FCU and proposed the adjustment law for supply water temperature. The results show that the supply water temperature of cooling design day is 9.3°C, the daily supply water temperature of cooling season is higher than 7°C; the supply water temperature of heating design day is 36.4°C, the highest in heating season is 38.5°C, which is below the rated supply water temperature of heat pump unit, 45°C.
