摘要：

The real performance of under-floor air distribution (UFAD) system in the office was studied by focusing on the impact of plenum on the indoor air motion and thermal stratification. The practical thermal stratification in an office with under-floor plenum was tested first. Numerical simulation was adopted to quantificationally analyze the impact of heat gains in the plenum on the indoor thermal environment. The results show that the air in the plenum undertakes approximately 40% of indoor cooling load. The supply air temperature from air diffusers increases, leading to the decay of thermal stratification. The increase of flow rate will decrease the vertical temperature gradient as well. More attention should be paid to the influence of plenum on indoor thermal balance and flow field. The advantage of UFAD system depends on the good sealing and thermal insulation measure at the raised floor.
