ABSTRACT

This paper reviews the results of studying an air cooling system that uses a new type of chilled ceiling. Temperature zones and air motion in rooms occupied by people are regulated by removing excess heat; the ceiling surface and the jet of air that enters the room both contribute to decreasing the temperature. The method of supplying the room with cooled air that we are reviewing in this paper helps prevent the creation of localized air pockets that differ significantly from the average air parameters (which is typical of traditional fan coil units). The study is based on physical and numerical experiments. The numerical aspect of the study was handled by the STAR-CCM+ software package. Its essential function is to solve three-dimensional Navier–Stokes differential equations.
