Full Description

DV system can improve air quality in enclosed environment but cannot remove high cooling load. On the other hand, PCB system can remove high cooling load and save energy but needs to be used with a ventilation system. Therefore, the major objective of this research project wasto systematically evaluate the overall performance of the coupled DV-PCB system, and to develop a guide for its design and operation. The developed guideline should be able to provide engineers with a step-by-step procedure for designing a DV-PCB system that can meet thermal and ventilation needs without risk of condensation on PCB coils.
