Classification for the room air conditioning strategies

This paper introduces a new strategy approach for the room air conditioning including classification and terminology. The basis of the classification is different aims or ideas of the temperature, gas, particle, humidity dist ributions and room air flow patterns that can be created within a room. A c ertain strategy can be applied by using different system combinations of ro om air distribution, exhaust, heating and cooling methods and their control . The realization of an ideal strategy is also dependent on the operating p arameters and internal sources. Separating the ideal strategies from the pr actical room air conditioning solutions will help the evaluation of the pre sent room air distribution methods in different operating conditions. It al so creates a solid base for the development and promotion of new innovation s in the field. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
