Results from Lab Testing: Rethinking VAV Hot Water Terminal Unit Design
Abstract
A number of operational issues exist with typical variable air volume (VAV) reheat terminal units. These include temperature stratification at the heating coil discharge and the reduced capacity and higher flow rates required for increasingly popular low temperature hot water systems. This article summarizes the findings of a recent research project that sought to better understand and help overcome these issues.
