Simulation of Temperature Distribution on the Face Skin in Case of Advanced Personalized Ventilation System

Energy saving is one of the most important research directions in the building sector. Personalized ventilation systems are energy conscious solutions providing fresh air for the occupants. As a side effect, cooling energy can be saved due to higher convective heat removal. Using the data gathered from previous experiments performed with the developed personalized ventilation system, a ±1.408 °C accurate simulation model was created in ANSYS 19.2 Academic version in order to determine the temperature distribution on the face. In this paper, the method and the first results are presented. It was clearly demonstrated by measurements and simulations that the personalized ventilation equipment used has a considerable effect on the skin temperature of the face. The developed model can be used to analyze the skin temperature on the faces of people using the novel, personalized ventilation equipment. This way the time spent on examination can be reduced considerably.
