暖通在学科分类中的全称为供热供燃气通风及空调工程，包括：采暖、通风、空气调节这三个方面，从功能上说是建筑的一个组成部分。暖通的英文缩写HVAC(Heating,Ventilating and Air Conditioning)。
暖通空调是分户的中央空调，中央空调它最大特点,是能够创造一种舒适的室内环境。而家居一般的分体的空调，它只能解决冷暖问题，而解决不了空气处理过程。现在，有了暖通空调就不一样了。
现在这个空气处理过程它有以下这些过程：首先是空气进来以后，除了引进新风以外，可以把空气进行冷却处理，然后就进行过滤处理，过滤处理以后，增加了几大特点：第一就增加电子除尘器.，它主要可以捕捉非常小的颗粒的灰尘，一般来讲它可以捕捉一个微米的灰尘，而这个灰尘的范围

浅谈建筑环境与暖通空调能耗 摘要：研究建筑环境，了解暖通空调负荷产生的原因及影响因素，可以更加合理地提出解决问题的方法。 关键词：建筑环境暖通空调能耗 浅谈建筑环境与暖通空调能耗 能源为经济的发展提供了动力，但是由于各种原因，能源的发展往往滞后于经济的发展。近几年，中国的国民生产总值的增长率维持在约10％，但是能源的增长率只有3％～4％。这样的形势要求我们必须节能。建筑能源消耗在社会总能耗中的比例较大，发达国家的建筑用能一般占到全国总能耗的30％～40％；中国采暖区的城镇人口虽然只占全国人口的13.6％，但是采暖用能却占全国总能耗的9.6％。建筑节能是建筑发展的基本趋势，也是当代建筑科学技术的一个新的生长点。现代建筑的必要组成部分暖通空调领域也已经收到这种趋势的影响，暖通空调系统中的节能正在引起暖通空调工作者的注意，并且针对不同的国家、地区的能源特点和不同建筑的采暖、通风、空调要求发展者相关的节能技术。研究建筑环境，了解暖通空调负荷产生的原因及影响因素，可以更加合理地提出解决问题的方法。 暖通空调能耗的组成 为了创造舒适的室内空调环境，必须消耗大量的能源。暖通空调能耗是建筑能耗中的大户，居统计在发达国家中暖通空调能耗占建筑能耗的65％，以建筑能耗占总能耗的356％计算，暖通空调能耗占总能耗的比例竟高达22.75％，由此可见建筑节能工作的重点应该是暖通空调的节能。从暖通空调的能耗组成可以看出：暖通空调系统的能耗主要决定于空调冷、热负荷的确定和空调系统的合理配置，空调系统的布置和空调设备的选择是以空调负荷为依据的。所以暖通空调节能的关键是空调外界负荷和内部负荷的确定，而暖通空调节能工作也应该从这个方面着手，合理布置建筑物的位置，正确选择外墙、门、窗、屋顶的形状及材料等，尽量减少空调负荷。 室内环境的影响 暖通空调的目标是为人们提供舒适的生活和生产室内热环境，主要包括：室内空气温度、空气湿度、气流速度以及人体与周围环境（包括四壁、地面、顶棚等）之间的辐射换热（简称环境热辐射）等。在一般的舒适性空调中，以能够使人体保持平衡而满足

1.课程设计的意义 通过本次的课程设计，使自己拥有一定的暖通空调设计能力；了解一些相关的规范和条例；熟悉并掌握暖通空调设计流程；同时使自己的思维更加的严谨，态度更加的认真，为以后的社会工作奠定了扎实的基础。 2.文献综述 随着国民经济的快速持续发展，作为支柱产业之一的建筑业也得到迅猛发展。而作为建筑业的重要组成部份的暖通空调业，其新产品、新技术、新材料更是层出不穷。暖通空调业发展所遵循的原则，概括起来就是：节能、环保、可持续发展，保证建筑环境的卫生与安全，适应国家的能源结构调整战略，贯彻热、冷计量政策，创造不同地域特点的暖通空调发展技术。因此，如何结合设计的需要，重视相关技术，并有选择而合理的应用在我们的设计中，满足业主要求，提高设计水平，是我们必须努力做到的。 2.1.暖通空调变工况点优化控制及能量管理探讨 2.1.1.工况点优化控制 暖通空调变工况点优化控制问题的研究近年来在我国被重视。S.W.Wang 提出了一种基于整个系统环境的预测响应及能量运行来改变暖通空调系统控制，设定点的系统方法，并用遗传算法对系统进行优化控制，同时优化多个设定点来改善系统响应和降低系统能耗[1]，后来他又采用自适应性控制理论对某海水冷却。空调系统进行了优化控制研究，采用带指数遗忘的最小二乘法参数辨识方法和基因遗传优化算法，对空调系统的空气处理单元进行了优化控制研究[2]。罗启军等人提出了一项动态的优化技术在一个指定期间内，能得到使目标函数( 运行成本或者峰值能耗) 最小的房间温度曲线，该算法还给出了暖通空调设备的最佳开/关时间[3]。K.T.Chan 等人提出用遗传算法对风冷制冷机的冷凝温度设定点进行优化控制以提高制冷机的效率[4]。此外，有许多研究者用人工神经网络来模拟暖通空调系统中各个设备的非线性特性，用于实现对整个空调系统的优化控制。目前，研究者们将更多先进的建模方法和智能优化方法引入到了暖通空调的优化控制中，更加注重变工况点的在线优化控制。何厚建等人对已建的暖通空调各关键设备的静态模型采用用实数编码的遗传算法建立了水系统工作点优化控制策略[5]杨晓平等人采用模糊聚类和RBF方法建立了空气处理单元的动态数学模型，以最终舒适性为目标优化空气处理单元的温湿度和送风压力[6]。孙一坚根据空调负荷变化对一级泵水系统进行变流量控制，取得了显著效果[7]。总之国内的学者更多探讨的是把智能方法引入控制系统的优化中，仿真研究多，实践成果少。

暖通空调设计中关于室外气象参数的文献综述
关于室外气象参数的文献综述 通过对《建筑热过程》这门课程的学习，使我体会到在做暖通空调设计时，室外气象参数的重要性。所以，需要对室外气象参数的来源、处理、计算方法、使用等等做进一步学习。 空调设计气象参数，包括设计干球温度、湿球温度和太阳辐射，是建筑空调系统设计必要和基本的数据。它们同时作用于建筑物，.是导致围护结构的传热和通过渗透和通风直接进行质交换的驱动势。在空调系统中同时发生的设计气象条件是确定空调系统容量的峰值冷负荷所必需的条件。不适当的设计气象数据将造成容量过大或偏小的HV AC系统，会导致不必要的额外初投资和较低的部分负荷效率，或者经常不能提供充足的制冷量。 1.室外空气计算参数的数据来源及分析比较 原始数据来源于中国气象局气象信息中心气象室编制的我国地面气象资料数据集和气象辐射资料数据集。我国地面气象资料数据集由我国地面气候观测网国家基准气候站和国家基本气象站连续定时探测大气变化所记录的各种气象要素资料组成。基准气候站每天进行24次定时观测，基本气象站每天进行4次定时观测，分别为02:00、08:00、14:00、20:00。 采用国家气象信息中心气象资料室提供的26城市1978年1月1月至2007年12月31日的地面气候资料为观测基础数据，按我国规范的确定方法和国外不保证率的方法为基础，对室外空气计算参数的确定方法进行讨论，并更新了部分城市的主要室外空气计算参数，主要结论如下: （1）分别计算统计年限为10年、15年、20年及30年的室外空气计算参数，参考气象学上的规定并综合冬夏室外空气计算参数的变化与累年气温的变化规律，认为30年是比较适宜的统计期。 （2）我国空调室外空气计算参数与ASHRAE相比，数值处于保证级别比较高的水平，只是形式不够灵活，不能让设计师在设计时根据建筑的不同用途、实际需要来选择对应的设计值。而且我国现在还不能提供满足统计要求的逐时气温数据，使用不保证率的方法条件还不够成熟。 （3）与GBJ19一87相比，夏季空调干球计算温度变化不大，大部分城市温度增长在1℃以内，个别城市如乌鲁木齐、徐州的夏季空调设计温度甚至低于原规范的设计参数;采暖城市30年统计期的采暖室外计算温度增幅较为明显，大部分上升了2一3℃，部分北方城市10年统计期的冬季采暖及空调设计参数呈现出下降趋势，有的甚至与30年的统计数据持平。 （4）对负荷计算方法进行分析并对比新老30年的计算参数，我国北方地区采暖室外计

英文文献 Air Conditioning Systems Air conditioning has rapidly grown over the past 50 years, from a luxury to a standard system included in most residential and commercial buildings. In 1970, 36% of residences in the U.S. were either fully air conditioned or utilized a room air conditioner for cooling (Blue, et al., 1979). By 1997, this number had more than doubled to 77%, and that year also marked the first time that over half (50.9%) of residences in the U.S. had central air conditioners (Census Bureau, 1999). An estimated 83% of all new homes constructed in 1998 had central air conditioners (Census Bureau, 1999). Air conditioning has also grown rapidly in commercial buildings. From 1970 to 1995, the percentage of commercial buildings with air conditioning increased from 54 to 73% (Jackson and Johnson, 1978, and DOE, 1998). Air conditioning in buildings is usually accomplished with the use of mechanical or heat-activated equipment. In most applications, the air conditioner must provide both cooling and dehumidification to maintain comfort in the building. Air conditioning systems are also used in other applications, such as automobiles, trucks, aircraft, ships, and industrial facilities. However, the description of equipment in this chapter is limited to those commonly used in commercial and residential buildings. Commercial buildings range from large high-rise office buildings to the corner convenience store. Because of the range in size and types of buildings in the commercial sector, there is a wide variety of equipment applied in these buildings. For larger buildings, the air conditioning equipment is part of a total system design that includes items such as a piping system, air distribution system, and cooling tower. Proper design of these systems requires a qualified engineer. The residential building sector is dominated by single family homes and low-rise apartments/condominiums. The cooling equipment applied in these buildings comes in standard ―packages‖ that are often both sized and installed by the air conditioning contractor. The chapter starts with a general discussion of the vapor compression refrigeration cycle then moves to refrigerants and their selection, followed by packaged Chilled Water Systems。 1.1 Vapor Compression Cycle Even though there is a large range in sizes and variety of air conditioning systems used in buildings, most systems utilize the vapor compression cycle to produce the desired cooling and dehumidification. This cycle is also used for refrigerating and freezing foods and for automotive air conditioning. The first patent on a mechanically driven refrigeration system was issued to Jacob Perkins in 1834 in London, and the first

Refrigeration System Performance using Liquid-Suction Heat Exchangers S. A. Klein, D. T. Reindl, and K. BroWnell College of Engineering University of Wisconsin - Madison Abstract Heat transfer devices are provided in many refrigeration systems to exchange energy betWeen the cool gaseous refrigerant leaving the evaporator and Warm liquid refrigerant exiting the condenser. These liquid-suction or suction-line heat exchangers can, in some cases, yield improved system performance While in other cases they degrade system performance. Although previous researchers have investigated performance of liquid-suction heat exchangers, this study can be distinguished from the previous studies in three Ways. First, this paper identifies a neW dimensionless group to correlate performance impacts attributable to liquid-suction heat exchangers. Second, the paper extends previous analyses to include neW refrigerants. Third, the analysis includes the impact of pressure drops through the liquid-suction heat exchanger on system performance. It is shoWn that reliance on simplified analysis techniques can lead to inaccurate conclusions regarding the impact of liquid-suction heat exchangers on refrigeration system performance. From detailed analyses, it can be concluded that liquid-suction heat exchangers that have a minimal pressure loss on the loW pressure side are useful for systems using R507A, R134a, R12, R404A, R290, R407C, R600, and R410A. The liquid-suction heat exchanger is detrimental to system performance in systems using R22, R32, and R717. Introduction Liquid-suction heat exchangers are commonly installed in refrigeration systems With the intent of ensuring proper system operation and increasing system performance.Specifically, ASHRAE(1998) states that liquid-suction heat exchangers are effective in: 1) increasing the system performance 2) subcooling liquid refrigerant to prevent flash gas formation at inlets to expansion devices 3) fully evaporating any residual liquid that may remain in the liquid-suction prior to reaching the compressor(s) Figure 1 illustrates a simple direct-expansion vapor compression refrigeration system utilizing a liquid-suction heat exchanger. In this configuration, high temperature liquid leaving the heat rejection device (an evaporative condenser in this case) is subcooled prior to being throttled to the evaporator pressure by an expansion device such as a thermostatic expansion valve. The sink for subcooling
