The
outdoor air supply rate was maintained constant at approximately 3.5 times the 7.1 L/sec per person minimum requirement in California (California Energy Commission 2008); the flow rate was monitored continuously with a venturi flow meter (model VWF 555 - 4"; Gerand Engineering Co, Minneapolis, MN).
In the device, the
outdoor air supply is combined with cooling of recirculated room air.
* Adding outdoor air economizers and controls: These systems increase the
outdoor air supply when the additional ventilation will reduce the need for air conditioning.
Should woodstoves and fireplaces have an
outdoor air supply, or should they draw on indoor air?
Airxchange produces energy recovery wheels that improve the efficiency of a building s heating, ventilation and air conditioning units, by preconditioning the
outdoor air supply. The company sells its products to most of the major HVAC manufacturers, including Carrier, Lennox and Trane, Steele said.
Fifty percent energy recovery effectiveness shall mean a change in the enthalpy of the
outdoor air supply equal to 50% of the difference between the outdoor air and return air enthalpies at design conditions.
Effects of temperature and
outdoor air supply rate on the performance of call center operators in the tropics.
However, specific
outdoor air supply amounts were not available for each sampling site, and we used carbon dioxide concentrations as a surrogate for
outdoor air supply.
(20) In residential buildings in particular, installing high-efficiency particle filtration on the
outdoor air supply of a mechanical ventilation system has advantages over the alternatives of relying on infiltration air through the building enclosure or relying on unfiltered natural ventilation through open windows.
The field studies show an opportunity to save energy by reducing the rate of
outdoor air supply rate because of the high value of contaminant removal effectiveness associated with DV systems in heating season.
