Abstract

Energy-saving ventilation systems are designed to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Low energy efficiency in buildings poses a considerable problem that needs to be addressed. Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery has gained increased popularity in recent years. Mechanical ventilation has numerous advantages, including easy adjustment and control, high indoor air quality and elimination of indoor pollutants. Mixing ventilation is the most popular type of mechanical ventilation, in particular in residential buildings. Unsteady ventilation is a type of mixing ventilation that involves stronger mixing effects and smaller vertical temperature gradients to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and minimize energy consumption. This study examines the possibility of controlling and modifying Coanda effect hysteresis (CEH) to generate unsteady flow and simulate the conditions of unsteady mixing ventilation. The experiment was performed on a self-designed test bench at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. It demonstrated that an auxiliary nozzle can be applied at the diffuser outlet to control CEH and the angles at which the air jet becomes attached to and separated from the flat plate positioned directly behind the nozzle. The study proposes an innovative mixing ventilation system that relies on CEH. The potential of the discussed concept has not been recognized or deployed in practice to date. This is the first study to confirm that an auxiliary nozzle by the diffuser outlet can be operated in both injection and suction mode to control CEH. In the future, the results can be used to design a new type of nozzles for unsteady ventilation systems that are based on CEH control.
