A new ventilation mode of air conditioning in subway vehicles and its air distribution performance

Asbestos exposure among Seoul metropolitan subway workers during renovation of subway air-conditioning systems.

Air quality in underground spaces has seldom been evaluated in Korea. Accordingly, the current study recently evaluated asbestos exposure among Seoul metropolitan subway workers during the renovation of the subway's air-conditioning system. To identify possible routes of asbestos exposure, suspected sources, including gaskets, ceiling boards, ceiling materials, and dust settled inside ducts, we...

A new procedure for performance prediction of air conditioning coils

A new numerical model has been developed for the simulation of pate-fin-tube type of cooling and dehumidifying coils widely used in the air conditioning industry. The model discretizes the coil into nodes along the coolant path and carries out repetitive marches from the coolant inlet to its outlet while simultaneously updating the values of the air stream properties for obtaining quick converg...

Ventilation and Air Distribution Systems in Buildings

The need of building occupants for ventilation has been recognized many centuries ago; however, since the early 1970s, ventilation systems for buildings and transport systems have considerably evolved. This was invigorated by researchers who demonstrated the requirements for buildings to provide comfort and good air quality indoors (e.g., Fanger, 1972; Fanger and Christensen, 1986; Fanger, 1988...

Passive Energy Air-to-Water Heat Pipe Based Heat Exchanger and its Potential of Air Pre-cooling in Air Conditioning Systems for Iran Climate

Air pre-cooling equipment is normally being employed in air-conditioning systems for pre-cooling the ambient outdoor air to enhance the air-conditioning systems performance. In this study, the potential of a passive water-to-air heat pipe based heat exchanger (HPHEX) for air pre-cooling purpose in air-conditioning systems for the high cooling load demanding regions of Iran was investigated. To ...
