Architectural repercussions of the air conditioning installations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work aims to present an analysis of architectural repercussions involved in choosing a certain climatic system for an office block. The intention is to unite techniques and the building itself. Independently of the bioclimatic design criteria for office work, these buildings require active technical systems for their air conditioning. We should only consider the air conditioning option that allows for regulation of areas and the maximum energetic effectiveness (VAV, fan coils, ducted fan coils, etc). The choice of the final system has serious considerations for both the architect and the building. In this study a representative office floor plan is proposed. Among its features are: an open-plan, certain height, core services and glass retaining wall. For this plan, the different air conditioning systems are analysed focusing on the consequences on the architecture (space occupied, spatial distribution, visual impact, user comfort, etc). These aspects will be studied afterwards for the whole building. This work will allow us to have a summary of the architectural repercussions of each system so that the architect can take decisions before designing the installation.

Fully Fresh Air Air-conditioning System Equipped with Double Heat Pipe Based Heat Recovery Technology
The using of double heat pipe based heat exchanger (HPHX) in a conventional fully fresh air air-conditioning (AC) system was examined in the present study. The fabricated HPHXs were tested under the actual conditions and the measured data were used to study the performance of the existing AC system (System A) and AC system equipped with the double HPHX (System B) for a yearly operation through ...

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 ...
متن کاملThe return of natural ventilation.
After World War II, the advent of central air conditioning and its progeny, the sealed building, made natural ventilation an anachronism. Today it is making a comeback, however, owing to rising energy costs and the worldwide movement toward buildings that employ “green” strategies. Architects and engineers, mostly in England, are using advanced computer and modeling Use the following learning o...
متن کاملSustainability of Automobile Air- Conditioning System Using Refrigerant R1234yf Instead of R134a
Air conditioning refrigerant R134a has value of global warming potential (GWP) 1300, which is much higher than MAC Directive (GWP below 150) passed in July 2006. This prompted a search for alternative refrigerant with GWP value less than 150. R1234yf is a new refrigerant which has lower GWP value of 4. Effect of blower speed has been compared and flammability issue of R1234yf has been addre...
