Abstract:An intermittent personalized ventilation PVMmodule (PVMM) coupled with a conventional mixing ventilation system (MV) was studied to investigate its ability in protecting occupants from indoor contaminants. This study examines the intermittent PVM operating frequency range that minimizes active and passive contaminant concentration near the occupant and nearby surfaces. A 3D CFD model of a typical office space was developed for this study and validated through experiments done in a climatic chamber. Simulations… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
