Measurement and CFD analysis of a local radiant cooling solution

This paper entails an empirical and computational assessment of the air flow field in close proximity a vertically positioned radiant cooling panel. solution differs from conventional large-area systems (e.g., ceiling panels). It involves rather small-sized vertical panels to occupants. Moreover, are designed so as manage potential surface condensation water vapor via integrated drainage elements. Hence, can be operated with relatively low temperatures. The panel temperature its occupants intended compensate for lower power due small size. In this paper, we specifically explore local laboratory measurements CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). Thus, possible issues regarding discomfort draft turbulence risk examined. To end, prototypical was installed mock-up office room laboratory. During experiments, speed measured simulated at several heights (between 10 110 cm floor) distances (ranging 1 50 panel). results allow evaluation well reliability reproduction measurement results. A further step involved numeric analysis effect human model on patter.
