As more ventilated air is brought inside the building, the irony of mixing air at 2 different thermal gradients causes a concern, which reduces comfort zooming on floor locations causing more distress than good. Undue cold air causes draft which brings different temperature range inside, in turn, calling to use supplementary systems to do comfort
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how offices used to operate. Air filtration systems and office air recirculation will face a major change when the offices reopen. While the two primary ways of transmission include aerosols and surface contact, experts also suggest that airborne transmission might be a possibility. Even if it may not materialize, aerosols
In the HVAC systems, air handling units are important components for regulating the air for ventilation, air conditioning, cooling or heating. They are one of those air management solutions that help in the circulation of the air throughout an area. These units work as an air mixer and a stratification device. By balancing the air
As the guideline mandates more ventilation air to the inside of buildings, operators have been running (Air Handling Units) AHUs with minimum outside air and offsetting with most Return air, which is dirty and somewhat moisture-laden. The main objective of this format has been energy savings by capturing most of the indoor heat generated and
Induction units and fan coils units have been the choice of decentralized air conditioning for commercial buildings for a long time. They are installed below the suspended ceilings for aligning themselves with the heating and cooling loads. An Induction unit is a type of air handling unit that is an element of the HVAC system
Air Stratification and improper mixing are a constant problem faced by the HVAC industry since improper mixing results in equipment, especially the Air Handling Unit (AHU), not working up to design. Air Mixing is a topic not discussed frequently, given most efforts are spread on equipment design, aesthetics, and smart control features. This obviously results
