Abstract
The conventional air conditioning system has contributed to the spread of airborne contaminants and viruses throughout the space, and it causes occupants health at risk. Many researchers are recently focused on rectifying this problem by implementing the personalized ventilation (PV) system. The PV supplies fresh air directly to the occupant breathing zone, and it can maintain the well-being of occupants, improve indoor air quality and thermal comfort. The present study investigates the indoor air distribution assessment on mixing ventilation (MV) and mixing with personalized ventilation (MV+PV) systems. The experimentation is carried out in the office cabin model with the dimension of 3m × 3m × 3m. This study has considered two cases. The performance evaluation is determined in terms of temperature, velocity, carbon dioxide distribution and thermal comfort. Results showed that the average CO2 concentration in case 2 was 540 ppm, 25% lower than in case 1. Compared to ASHRAE 55 and ISO7730, the temperature distribution and PMV-PPD for both cases were within acceptable limits. The significant outcome of this study is to provide the better understanding of airflow distribution in the experimental room and the enhancement of the breathing zone.
