Retrofitting Strategy Using high volume low pressure (HVLP) ceiling fan for ventilated cooling
Ceiling fans can generate a higher air velocity which can provide the same thermal comfort with a higher indoor temperature to reduce the cooling load. 


Consideration
  • The airflow circulation path should not be obstructed. Chilled fins can be used to provide extra sensible cooling or the space.
Estimated Saving

Waterside (Radiant Cooling): (1/COP_CHPRE – 1/COP_CHPOST)*QBLDGRAD* OPHR,yr

Where  (COP_CHPOST – COP_CHPRE)/ COP_CHPRE = 1.25% per 1°C increase of TCHWS

COP_CHPOST = [1.25%*(TCHWSPOST – TCHWSPRE) + 1]*COP_CHPRE

COP_CH = 0.605*COP_CHSM + 0.395*COP_CHWN

COP_CHSM = (COPaSM + COPbSM)/2; COP_CHWN = (COPaWN + COPbWN)/2

QBLDG = 0.605*[0.77*(0.88*NCHSM*QCHSM + 0.12*NCHWN*QCHWN)] + 0.395*[0.596*(0.184*NCHSM*QCHSM + 0.816*NCHSM*QCHSM)]

QBLDGRAD = x%*QBLDG

Airside (AHU à DOAS+HVLP fan  w/ chilled fin):

(SkW_AHUPRE  – SkW_DOASPOST +(SkW_HVLPFPRE) * OPHR,yr

SkW_AHUPRE = (0.605*LFSM,PRE + 0.395*LFWN,PRE)*NAHUPRE*kW_AHUPRE

SkW_DOASPOST = (0.605*LFSM,POST + 0.395*LFWN,POST)*NDOASPOST*kW_DOASPOST

SkW_HVLPFPOST = (0.605*LFSM,POST + 0.395*LFWN,POST)*NHVLPFPOST*kW_HVLPFPOST

For CSD: LFSM = LFWN = 1,

For VSD: LFSM = 0.795, LFWN = 0.562;

For EC or DC-motor: LFSM = 0.71, LFWN = 0.38

OPHR,yr = hr/day*day/wk*52
