AIR-CONDITIONING IN RESIDENTIAL BUILDING BY THE EARTH-TO-AIR HEAT EXCHANGER FOR SUMMER OF THAILAND
Keywords:
Earth-to-air heat exchanger, Air conditioning, Thermal comfortAbstract
This paper presents the designation of the earth-to-air heat exchanger system to decrease the temperature in the room of which the volume is 40 cubic maters during summer in 2005 of Thailand. In this paper, the operated ability is evaluated. As the results of the experiments, the designed system is able to dramatically decrease the temperature in the room about 1 - 8 Celsius only on daytime since comparing with the ambient temperature. Additionally, the designed system using the earth-to-air heat exchanger system affects to fan ventilation use improving the thermal comfort. It is the one of many techniques for energy saving that come out to be about 73% comparing with the vapor compression system.
