Development of an environmental chamber for comparative studies of the various types of air conditioning systems used in Singapore

Both a prototype variable-air-volume constant temperature (VAV) and a constant-air-volume variable temperature (CAV) air conditioning system were installed and operated under simulated load conditions. This report discusses (1) the background, objectives and features of this facility, (2) the compar...

Description
Summary:Both a prototype variable-air-volume constant temperature (VAV) and a constant-air-volume variable temperature (CAV) air conditioning system were installed and operated under simulated load conditions. This report discusses (1) the background, objectives and features of this facility, (2) the comparative energy consumption of the two systems under various loading conditions, and (3) the energy consumption of different components.
