Comparative analyses of the air distributions created by attached ventilation with different air outlets

As an innovative ventilation mode, attached ventilation has been widely used in different types of buildings due to its high ventilation efficiency and energy saving. At present, the commonly used air outlet form is slot outlet. Considering the diversity of application places, different air outlet form models (Slot outlet (SO), Rectangular outlet (RO), Circular outlet (CO), Semi-circular outlet (SCO)) were established in this paper. Air distributions of the attached ventilation under different air outlet forms are analyzed and compared. The results show that the attached jet thickness is larger under RO, CO, and SCO form. Compared with SO form, the jet velocities of other three forms decay slowly in the vertical region. The attached ventilation with different outlet forms can form an "air lake" in the occupied zone to ensure the comfort environment. This research provides design references for the design and application of the attached ventilation under different air outlet forms.
