  2. Underfloor air distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_air_distribution

    The same study found that air temperature rise in summer is higher than in winter and it also depends on the climate. [16] The ground floor with a slab on grade has less temperature rise compared to middle and top floors, and an increase of the supply air temperature causes a decrease in the temperature rise.

  3. Environmental control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_control_system

    The temperature of the PACK outlet air is controlled by the adjusting flow through the ram-air system (below), and modulating a temperature control valve (TCV) which bypasses a portion of the hot bleed air around the ACM and mixes it with the cold air downstream of the ACM turbine.

  4. Room air distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_air_distribution

    Displacement ventilation systems supply air directly to the occupied zone.The air is supplied at low velocities to cause minimal induction and mixing. This system is used for ventilation and cooling of large high spaces, such as auditorium and atria, where energy may be saved if only the occupied zone is treated rather than trying to control the conditions in the entire space.

  5. Airflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airflow

    Airflow, or air flow, is the movement of air. Air behaves in a fluid manner, meaning particles naturally flow from areas of higher pressure to those where the pressure is lower. Atmospheric air pressure is directly related to altitude, temperature, and composition. [1]

  6. Variable air volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_air_volume

    Control of the system's fan capacity is critical in VAV systems. Without proper and rapid flow rate control, the system's ductwork, or its sealing, can easily be damaged by overpressurization. In the cooling mode of operation, as the temperature in the space is satisfied, a VAV box closes to limit the flow of cool air into the space.

  7. Ductwork airtightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductwork_airtightness

    There are two major systems to classify ductwork airtightness, one based on European standards, the other based on ASHRAE standard 90.1-2010.Both are based on the leakage airflow rate at a given ductwork pressure divided by the product of the ductwork surface area and the same ductwork pressure raised to the power 0.65.

  8. Air cycle machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_cycle_machine

    The compressed, cooled air then travels through the expansion turbine which extracts heat from the air as it expands, cooling it to below ambient temperature (down to −20 °C or −30 °C). It is possible for the ACM to produce air cooled to less than 0 °C even when outside air temperature is high (as might be experienced with the aircraft ...

  9. Airlock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airlock

    An airlock on board the Space Shuttle. An airlock [a] is a room or compartment which permits passage between environments of differing atmospheric pressure or composition, while minimizing the changing of pressure or composition between the differing environments.
