Cooling and Heating Performance of Ceiling Radiant Membrane Air Conditioning System with PAC

Part 1-Study of Temperature Profiles, Energy Efficiency, and Air Conditioning Performance for Cooling

Abstract

In this study, a novel air conditioning system combining package air conditioner(Package Air Conditioner) and membrane ceiling is proposed. This report presents the results of a full-scale cooling experiment. The temperature profiles of this air conditioning system indicated comfortable a temperature range, and the air conditioning performance was suitable for heat loads. The energy efficiency was as high as the rated performance of the package air conditioner. With the increase in the amount of air circulation between the attic and the lower side of the ceiling, the heat load removal performance was improved.
