Optimization on indoor air diffusion of floor-standing type room air-conditioners

The indoor air diffusion of a typical office equipped with a floor-standing type air-conditioner (FSAC) in summer was evaluated and optimized. Two existing evaluation indexes, the air diffusion performance index and the energy utilization coefficient, were modified for their more reasonable application in the evaluation on air diffusion performance of a FSAC. And also, a new index, fast cooling effect index, was presented to evaluate the fast-cooling effect. Based on the indoor airflow simulation using computational fluid dynamics, the three indexes were applied to evaluate the air diffusion performance of the FSAC. As a result, the optimal indoor air diffusion types with best thermal feelings, fine energy utilization efficiency and excellent fast-cooling effect were obtained, and also, a control scheme was suggested.
