Abstract

To visualize the air flow into a room, we used a plastic screen, placed parallel to the air flow from a supply air diffuser placed at floor level. The screen takes the temperature of the air stream and registration of the screen temperature is made with an IR-camera. This gives a picture of the temperature distribution of the air stream. The information can be used to control the technical characteristics of the supply air device and to judge the impact of the air flow on human comfort.
