Sizing of a Packed Bed Storage for Solar Air Heating Systems (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Packed bed units generally, represent the most suitable storage units for air heating solar systems. In these systems the storage unit receives the heat from the collector during the collection period and discharges the heat to the building at the retrieval process. A method for sizing of packedbed storage in an air heating system is represented. The design is based on the K-S curves, which hav...

The application of personalized ventilation systems, particularly in the buildings, is one of the new topics that today presented to it, because of their proper performance in reducing energy consumption and creating better thermal comfort conditions. In the current study, the energy consumption of a personalized cooling system installed in a room, considering the constraint of thermal comfort,...
متن کاملPredictive control of multizone heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems in non-residential buildings
In France, buildings account for a large part of the energy consumption and carbon emissions. Both are mainly due to Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Because older, oversized or poorly maintained systems may be using more energy and costing more to operate than necessary, new management approaches are needed. In addition, energy efficiency can be improved in central hea...
متن کاملDesign and operation optimization of an air conditioning system through simulation: an hour-by-hour simulation study
In the present research, performance validation of a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system operating in a library building was conducted. The operating HVAC system was studied in terms of the provided indoor air conditions and energy consumption level. The fieldwork measurements showed that the HVAC system is not capable of providing the desired indoor air conditions based on...
