Abstract:
Even though the control of the fan-coil system has been widely investigated, most of them only focus on the effect of room temperature control but ignore the effect of humidity control. However, both temperature and humidity are important to thermal comfort. The fan-coil is only based on temperature conditions to control the on/off of the water valve and the speed of the fan, and the indoor thermal comfort is difficult to meet the needs of the human body. In response to this problem, a simulation tool based on the calculation of the temperature and humidity of the fan-coil room was established in this work. It could realize the short-step dynamic calculation of both room temperature and humidity with different enclosure structures, internal disturbances, and outdoor meteorological conditions. In order to study the control effect of the fan-coil on the room temperature and humidity after the equipment was selected, examples of different climate zones were set up in the simulation. The simulation results showed that the temperature control strategy could meet the indoor temperature and humidity control requirements under most operating conditions. However, with outdoor low temperature and high humidity conditions, the indoor temperature was too low to reach the setting value of the water valve opening, and the humidity cannot be controlled by the fan coil. In addition, the temperature and humidity control effects of the constant fan speed and the variable fan speed control strategies were also compared. The results showed that the variable fan speed control strategy can better control indoor temperature and humidity. However, when the humidity ratio of air is too much, the temperature will be within a reasonable range but the humidity will exceed the standard. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
