A comparison between three methods of low-level air supplies.

This paper deals with the performance evaluation of three types of low-level ventilation systems: the wall displacement ventilation, the floor displacement ventilation and the impinging jet ventilation systems. The comparison between the performances of these three systems is based on air movement, comfort assessment, mean age of air and ventilation efficiency for contaminant removal. Data from measurements and CFD simulations are used for comparisons.

Development of a ductless air supply system using low temperature air.

This paper proposes a new ductless air supply system with a ceiling plenum chamber using low temperature air as a secondary HY AC system for an ice thermal storage system. The proposed air supply system mixes low temperature air with return air from a room using a mixing fan unit (MFU), pressurizes a plenum chamber with the mixed air and supplies the air to the occupied room from diffusers on the ceiling.
