Abstract
Experiments were performed to evaluate the variation of air flow distribution in the room with air jet angle, air flow rate and inlet air temperature from the outlet of air conditioner for improving the human comfort.
In a present study, measurement for visualizing air flow and for evaluating the air flow distribution in the room were made of by using a particle tracing method. Air flow visualization was carried out by using TV camera and then air flow distribution was evaluated with image processing based on tracer particles image data recorded by TV camera. The good agreements between the air flow distribution data obtained using the hot wire anemometer and that evaluated from the present tracer particles image processing method were obtained within the present experiment range.
