JAPAN: Mitsubishi Electric has developed a new airflow control technology that is said to achieve optimised room-wide comfort by both visualising and analysing air conditioning airflow and temperature distribution.
The technology predicts airflows and temperatures in a room to minimise uneven temperatures and discomfort due to excessively strong airflow. Mitsubishi Electric says it also expects to use its new solution to advise building owners and designers on how to enhance indoor layouts for increased comfort.
Indoor airflow has traditionally been controlled independently by each air conditioning unit using data from its built-in sensors. Mitsubishi argues that depending on the room layout and/or position of each unit, airflow may not reach areas such as corners. Also, the operation of adjacent units can disrupt intended airflows.
