In diesem Beitrag wird die Wirkung der PL auf die thermische Behaglichkeit der Nutzer unter sommerlichen Randbedingungen untersucht. Hierf{\"u}r wurden zwei Ans{\"a}tze zur Bewertung des K{\"u}hlungseffekts der PL untersucht: basierend auf (1) der {\"a}quivalenten Temperatur und (2) dem thermischen Empfinden. Grundlage der Auswertung sind in einer Klimakammer gemessene sowie numerisch simulierte Daten. Vor der Durchf{\"u}hrung der Simulationen wurde das numerische Modell zun{\"a}chst anhand der gemessenen Daten validiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Ansatz basierend auf dem thermischen Empfinden zur Evaluierung des K{\"u}hlungseffekts der PL sinnvoller sein kann, da bei diesem die komplexen physiologischen Faktoren besser ber{\"u}cksichtigt werden.}, subject = {L{\"u}ftung}, language = {de} } @article{AlsaadVoelker, author = {Alsaad, Hayder and V{\"o}lker, Conrad}, title = {Performance assessment of a ductless personalized ventilation system using a validated CFD model}, series = {Journal of Building Performance Simulation}, volume = {2018}, journal = {Journal of Building Performance Simulation}, number = {11, Heft 6}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3850}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20190218-38500}, pages = {689 -- 704}, abstract = {The aim of this study is twofold: to validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, and then to use the validated model to evaluate the performance of a ductless personalized ventilation (DPV) system. To validate the numerical model, a series of measurements was conducted in a climate chamber equipped with a thermal manikin. Various turbulence models, settings, and options were tested; simulation results were compared to the measured data to determine the turbulence model and solver settings that achieve the best agreement between the measured and simulated values. Subsequently, the validated CFD model was then used to evaluate the thermal environment and indoor air quality in a room equipped with a DPV system combined with displacement ventilation. Results from the numerical model were then used to quantify thermal sensation and comfort using the UC Berkeley thermal comfort model.}, subject = {Ventilation}, language = {en} } @article{AlsaadVoelker, author = {Alsaad, Hayder and V{\"o}lker, Conrad}, title = {Performance evaluation of ductless personalized ventilation in comparison with desk fans using numerical simulations}, series = {Indoor Air}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Indoor Air}, publisher = {John Wiley \& Sons Ltd}, doi = {10.1111/ina.12672}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200422-41407}, pages = {14}, abstract = {The performance of ductless personalized ventilation (DPV) was compared to the performance of a typical desk fan since they are both stand-alone systems that allow the users to personalize their indoor environment. The two systems were evaluated using a validated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of an office room occupied by two users. To investigate the impact of DPV and the fan on the inhaled air quality, two types of contamination sources were modelled in the domain: an active source and a passive source. Additionally, the influence of the compared systems on thermal comfort was assessed using the coupling of CFD with the comfort model developed by the University of California, Berkeley (UCB model). Results indicated that DPV performed generally better than the desk fan. It provided better thermal comfort and showed a superior performance in removing the exhaled contaminants. However, the desk fan performed better in removing the contaminants emitted from a passive source near the floor level. This indicates that the performance of DPV and desk fans depends highly on the location of the contamination source. Moreover, the simulations showed that both systems increased the spread of exhaled contamination when used by the source occupant.}, subject = {Behaglichkeit}, language = {en} }
