TY - JOUR A1 - Alsaad, Hayder A1 - Völker, Conrad T1 - Der Kühlungseffekt der personalisierten Lüftung T1 - The cooling effect of personalized ventilation systems JF - Bauphysik N2 - Personalisierte Lüftung (PL) kann die thermische Behaglichkeit sowie die Qualität der eingeatmeten Atemluft verbessern, in dem jedem Arbeitsplatz Frischluft separat zugeführt wird. In diesem Beitrag wird die Wirkung der PL auf die thermische Behaglichkeit der Nutzer unter sommerlichen Randbedingungen untersucht. Hierfür wurden zwei Ansätze zur Bewertung des Kühlungseffekts der PL untersucht: basierend auf (1) der äquivalenten Temperatur und (2) dem thermischen Empfinden. Grundlage der Auswertung sind in einer Klimakammer gemessene sowie numerisch simulierte Daten. Vor der Durchführung der Simulationen wurde das numerische Modell zunächst anhand der gemessenen Daten validiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Ansatz basierend auf dem thermischen Empfinden zur Evaluierung des Kühlungseffekts der PL sinnvoller sein kann, da bei diesem die komplexen physiologischen Faktoren besser berücksichtigt werden. N2 - Personalized ventilation (PV) can improve thermal comfort and inhaled air quality by supplying air to each workstation separately. This study investigates the impact of PV on the thermal state of the users under summer boundary conditions. Two approaches to evaluating the cooling effect of PV were investigated, based on equivalent temperature and based on thermal sensation. Both approaches implemented measured and simulated values of the cooling effect of PV. Before conducting the simulations, the numerical model was first validated against measured data collected in a climate chamber equipped with a thermal manikin. Results indicated that the thermal sensation approach can be more suitable for evaluating the cooling effect of PV due to the complex physiological factors it considers.

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.

JF - Indoor Air N2 - This study investigates the performance of two systems: personalized ventilation (PV) and ductless personalized ventilation (DPV). Even though the literature indicates a compelling performance of PV, it is not often used in practice due to its impracticality. Therefore, the present study assesses the possibility of replacing the inflexible PV with DPV in office rooms equipped with displacement ventilation (DV) in the summer season. Numerical simulations were utilized to evaluate the inhaled concentration of pollutants when PV and DPV are used. The systems were compared in a simulated office with two occupants: a susceptible occupant and a source occupant. Three types of pollution were simulated: exhaled infectious air, dermally emitted contamination, and room contamination from a passive source. Results indicated that PV improved the inhaled air quality regardless of the location of the pollution source; a higher PV supply flow rate positively impacted the inhaled air quality. Contrarily, the performance of DPV was highly sensitive to the source location and the personalized flow rate. A higher DPV flow rate tends to decrease the inhaled air quality due to increased mixing of pollutants in the room. Moreover, both systems achieved better results when the personalized system of the source occupant was switched off.
