Distribution of Air Within a Room for Year-Round Air Conditioning—Part Ⅰ

摘要

This bulletin is a report of one phase of a research project on air distribution in an experimental room for year-round air conditioning which was conducted under the terms of a cooperative agreement between the Engineering Experiment Station of the University of Illinois and the American Gas Association. Engineering data were obtained for selecting the proper types of supply outlets at floor, baseboard, and sidewall loca­tions only, which would give satisfactory air distribution in residential rooms during all seasons of the year. For this purpose the air tempera­ture and air velocities were measured at 231 stations in the mom for each different experimental arrangement. These data together with visual observations of the air motion by means of smoke provided a complete picture of the air distribution within the space.
