아파트 거실내에서 Stand형 에어컨의 토출구조에 따른 열환경 분석

The Discharge system of an air conditioner, which is influenced by area, direction, position, and swing angle and angular velocity of discharge, etc., plays an important role in the indoor thermal environment. The Flow pattern from the discharge system affects thermal comfort with variation of velocity and temperature distribution. In this study, a numerical analysis on indoor thermal environment and occupant's thermal comfort is conducted to study the difference with the variation of horizontal blade swing. It is assumed that stand type Air-conditioner is applied to a living room of an apartment during summer season and the distributions of temperature, velocity, PMV and PPD are calculated using a commercial software. It is expected that the analysis in this study could be useful to improve the thermal comfort and develop an air conditioner with new concept.
