Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of different ventilation systems in an aircraft cabin mockup. The related experimental research was conducted to obtain the local mean age of air, temperature and velocity distribution under different air distribution systems by using trace gas, thermocouples, and an ultrasonic anemometer measurement system. The results showed that in a comprehensive comparison of mixing ventilation and displacement ventilation, displacement ventilation has high ventilation efficiency. The velocity nonuniformity indices (VNUI), temperature nonuniformity indices (TNUI), and heat removal efficiency (HRE) of different ventilation systems in the cabin were compared and analyzed. A cabin airflow evaluation system is proposed. Compared to the mixing air supply, the displacement ventilation has high heat removal efficiency, but it aggravates nonuniformity. Using a plurality of air inlets can improve the uniformity of air temperature and velocity distribution. Side wall air supply is necessary to improve the ventilation performance of single-aisle cabin.
