Abstract:In this paper we proposed the novel air-conditioning system which combined induction ventilation and radiant air-conditioning. The indoor terminal device is the radiant induction-unit (RIDU). The RIDU is the induction unit combined with the pore radiant panel on which the copper pipes with rigid aluminum diffusion fins are installed. The two-stage evaporator chiller with the non-azeotropic mixture refrigerant is utilized in the system to reduce the initial investment in equipment. With the performance test and the steady state heat transfer model based on the theory of radiative heat transfer, the relationship between the induction ratio of the RIDU and the characteristic of the air supply was studied. Based on this, it is verified that the RIDU has a lower dew-point temperature and better anti-condensation performance than a traditional plate-type radiant panel. The characteristics of the radiation and convection heat transfer of the RIDU were studied. The total heat exchange of the RIDU can be 16.5% greater than that of the traditional plate-type radiant terminal.

To study the operation and condensation characteristics of an induction radiant air-conditioning system as a novel system that combines induction ventilation and radiant air conditioning, the characteristics of convection and condensation of an indoor terminal device radiant induction unit were studied. The mass transfer coefficient, condensation temperature, and condensation rate were analyzed experimentally. The time required to achieve a steady state indoor thermal environment was collected. The results indicated that the primary airflow rate and temperature mainly affected the mass transfer coefficient, condensation temperature, and condensation rate. When the indoor thermal environment reached a steady state, the heat transfer performance of the radiant induction unit was mainly affected by the primary air temperature. When condensation occurred, the primary airflow rate had a greater influence on the condensation rate. The start-up and response performances of the system were better than those of a traditional radiant air-conditioning system. In the condensation condition, reasonable control strategies maintain the primary air temperature and adjust the primary air flow rate, which can ensure sufficient heat transfer and stabilize the indoor thermal environment faster.
