In recent years, the need to provide a clean environment in enclosed places has drawn increasing levels of attention due to the spread of epidemics and viruses across the world. Chilled ceilings with displacement ventilation represent promising technology. The combined ventilation system has not yet been used in Iraqi buildings, then it’s a good starting point for study the performance of this system in Iraq-Hilla city climate (hot and dry climate). An office room with a combined ventilation system was simulated using AIRPAK software. Indoor air age, air temperature distribution, CO2 concentration and thermal efficiency were estimated numerically. During the simulation process, the effects of two different supply diffuser shapes (one way rectangular diffuser and semicircle diffuser) were compared to investigated the effect of supply diffuser shape on air age and thermal environment in hot and dry climate (passed on peak summer temperatures in Hilla city). Three tests were performed for each case based on changing the load treated by the chilled ceiling as (25%, 50% and 80%) respect to total cooling load and represented (26, 53, 85W/m2) respectively based on floor area. The temperature of chilled ceiling surface varied as (21.5, 19 and 16°C) and the air supply temperature similarly varied (19, 22, and 24.5 °C) respectively at constant air flowrate of (0.045m3/s). The results of the tests found that the effect of diffuser shape on the local age of air decreased with height, the maximum difference between two cases at the 0.1m level was about 49s while at 2.25m level it was only about 11s. The air exchange efficiency for the CC/DV system using a semicircle diffuser in the predetermined office space was higher by an average of 8.5% as compared with a similar system using a rectangular diffuser; this differential reduced about 3% at each increase in portion of cooling load treated by the chilled ceiling, however.
