Research on control methods of roof radiant cooling system

Abstract Taking the capillary ceiling radiation air conditioning system in radiation cooling Laboratory of comprehensive experimental building in Shandong Jianzhu University as an example, research the two different control methods which are room temperature control and water temperature control. The roof cooling model was established by using TRNSYS simulation software, two typical summer days were selected to explore the stability of the room temperature and the supply and return water temperature, research the comfort of human body and system energy consumption under two control methods. The results show that the indoor temperature of the two control methods can be stable at the design temperature of 27℃ under outdoor high temperature environment in summer. When the maximum outdoor temperature does not exceed 30℃, the temperature stability of the room temperature control method is better, the comfort of the two control methods can meet the requirements, but the water temperature control method is more comfortable. The room temperature control method is 20% ~ 25% energy saving than the water temperature control method in the two typical selected days, and is 40.5% energy saving in the whole cooling season.
