• A novel radiant-convective cooling system is proposed. The thermal comfort, energy and economic performance are experimentally studied. proposed has better indoor comfort than split air-conditioners. higher efficiency ratio Split air-conditioners have limitations in terms of local comfortability. Radiant systems (RCSs) cannot be used most residential buildings, due to its lack space for a cen...

Due to their benefits in interior thermal comfort, energy saving, and noise reduction, radiant cooling systems have received wide attention. Radiant can be viewed as a part of buildings’ maintenance structure component systems, depending on construction. This article reviews studies heat exchange rooms utilizing including research conduction system structures, loads, capacity, transfer coeffici...

The effect of heating and cooling on heart rate in the estuarine crocodile Crocodylus porosus was studied in response to different heat transfer mechanisms and heat loads. Three heating treatments were investigated. C. porosus were: (1) exposed to a radiant heat source under dry conditions; (2) heated via radiant energy while half-submerged in flowing water at 23 degrees C and (3) heated via co...

Energy-efficient radiant heating and cooling require surface temperature thermal capacity analysis. Simplified pipe modeling is applied to save time resources for numerical analysis when evaluating the system. Therefore, this study investigated distribution of a system using simplified modeling. To do this, steady-state heat transfer simulation was performed Physibel BISCO. The difference betwe...

The buildings’ HVAC system design and indoor conditions are affected by climate change. This study aimed to investigate the effects of change on office cooling temperature in Nordic cold climate. Thus, two types mechanical systems, all-air (ventilative) air-water (radiant), designed a new building using days (1% risk) current future southern Finland. Moreover, dynamic simulations energy perform...

Radiant cooling systems have good application prospects. A variety of composite radiative been proposed to save energy, but few studies focused on comparing the performance different radiant floor systems. This study compares operating conditions a system with direct ground and conventional In addition comfort required by standard, Jinan, Shandong also studied low risk condensation surface. At ...
