Experimental research on the temperature distribution of thermally activated building systems (TABS)

Abstract

The usage of cooling systems that use earth’s natural energy potential has increased over the last years dn with it the need for radiant systems. The efficiency of the radiant surfaces, especially the TABS systems is influenced by the temperature variation over their surface This article studies the effects of the thermal agent velocity in ducts and ventilation systems present on the temperature field of the radiating surfaces TABS system.
