4.4 Thermal Load and Cooling Capacities
4.4.3 Underfloor ventilation air conditioning

Figure 4.9 shows the air condition for underfloor ventilation in a psychrometric chart.

Table 4.7 summarizes procedures for calculating the cooling capacities of an

underfloor-ventilation air conditioner, flow rate 220 m3/min (7770ft3/min).

The values in the table involve certain characteristic curve and psychrometric chart

read errors.
