在全尺寸设备中进行了实验，以确定设计用于在冷却季节运行期间产生分层空调的系统的加热季节行为。这些实验的目的是产生有关空间空气温度分布和热负荷大小的信息，这些信息是系统几何结构和室内外温度条件的函数。研究发现，在任何测试条件下均未发生显著分层。测得的热负荷相当于在均匀室内温度下为常规系统确定的热负荷。 单位:投资:ASHRAE交易，1987年，第93卷，第。田纳西州纳什维尔2号

Experiments were conducted in a full-sized facility to determine the heating-season behavior of a system designed to produce stratified air conditioning during cooling-season operation. The experiments were designed to produce information on space air temperature profiles and on heating load magnitude as a function of system geometry and indoor and outdoor temperture conditions.It was found that significant stratification did not occur at any of the conditions tested. The measured heating load was equivalent to that which would be determined for a conventional system at a uniform indoor temperature.Units: I-P
