Analysis of operational performance of a mechanical ventilation cooling system with latent thermal energy storage

A cross-scale ‘material-component-system’ framework for transition towards zero-carbon buildings and districts with low, medium and high-temperature phase change materials

“…Xie et al (Xie et al, 2016) experimentally investigated the thermal response of PCMs under mechanical ventilation, with different air temperatures and velocities. Santos et al (Santos et al, 2018) designed mechanical ventilation system to charge PCM thermal storage for indoor built environment control. Increasing PCM cooling capacity and heat transfer area are effective strategies for system performance improvement.…”

Thermal Comfort Based Performance Evaluation and Modification of Spatial Air Movement by CFD in the case of Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff U. K.

“…Having one sided wind catcher and window was found to be better than having two sided wind catcher with the help of CFD analysis (Montazeri and Montazeri 2018). CFD analysis showed that for the optimal performance of building, purging and charging plays an important role linked with the use of space and external conditions (Santos, Wines et al 2018).…”

Performance and economic efficiency analysis of an integrated, outdoor fan-ventilated cooling device

“…Santos et al applied thermal energy storage technology using phase change material (PCM) to an integrated mechanical ventilation system and to reduce the error of simulated results via onsite ventilation and air conditioning measurements [ 18 ]. The increase in air flow enhanced thermal comfort and indoor air quality, and indoor air temperature was maintained within the desired range.…”
