This article describes a low cost retrofit technology that uses collective control of multiple rooftop air conditioning units to reduce the peak power consumption of small and medium commercial buildings. The proposed control uses a thermal model of the building and air conditioning units to select an operating schedule for the air conditioning units that maintains a temperature set point subje...

Air conditioning system is developed using mamdani fuzzy model and neuro fuzzy model. It is two input one output system where inputs being the temperature and humidity measured from their respective sensors and the output being the signal that controls the compressor speed. Both the models are simulated using MATLAB Fuzzy logic Toolbox and their results are compared. Keywords— air conditioning,...

An intelligent control scheme for fan coil air-conditioning systems has been put forward in order to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional proportion-integral-derivative (PID) control scheme. These shortcomings include the inability of anti-interference and large inertia. An intelligent control test rig of fan coil air-conditioning system has been built, andMATLAB/Simulink dynamics simul...

This article introduces two system models to simulate the energy performance of the temperature and humidity independent control air-conditioning system (THICS) and the conventional airconditioning system (CAS). The energy performance comparison includes three parts of cooling resource, transportation system and terminal devices. A typical office building with these two different systems is num...

Replacing fossil flues by renewable and sustainable energies have been the concern of scientists working in this area over the recent decades. Furthermore, greenhouses play a key role in producing various crops year-round and in bohemian climates. For this objective, the greenhouses employ heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to provide the favourable conditions for the cons...

Four simulation sub-models of four main parts; namely, photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) collector, silica gel dehumidification unit, living space and air conditioning system, have been developed for a detailed transient simulation model for a hybrid PV/T solar air heating system for regenerating silica gel in air conditioning room. The models are explained along with algorithms for making quantitati...

Air conditioning control systems are commonly installed in restaurants, commercial buildings, office buildings and institutional buildings in Hong Kong. The systems invariably involve the use of fans for moving the air, filters for cleansing, ducts for air distribution, a control system for regulating the amount of heating or cooling automatically and a refrigerating plant connected to the heat...

Article history: Received: 15.12.2013. Received in revised form: 17.2.2014. Accepted: 18.2.2014. Supplying air with ball spout air diffusers is a common air-conditioning system for air distribution in large space stadiums. When supplying hot air with ball spout diffusers in winter, the phenomenon of hot jet upturning may appear, so the design should consider adjusting the spout angle so as to c...

The shape of the air flow in the interior is heavily influenced by the air distribution system and the way air enters and exits. By numerically simulating flow by computational fluid dynamics, one can determine the flow pattern and temperature distribution and, with the help of the results, provide an optimal design of the air conditioning system. In this study, a chamber was first constructed ...
