Gateway 1: Stuart Pugh’s Total Design Process & Convergence Matrix

 

-System design

-Diffuser head design

-Part sourcing

-Manufacturing considerations

 

Gateway 2: Compare Model Analysis to System Specifications

 

-2D CFD flow model of diffuser head

-Global analysis model (2D CFD)

-Comparable energy models of a personalised ventilation system and a conventional HVAC system

-A feedback loop to the design phase is present to allow any changes to be made if the chosen design does not meet the criteria.

 

Gateway 3:

 

Experiment 1 – Testing to find if the unit behaves as designed following IQ/OQ specifications. Is calibration required to achieve design specification?

 

Gateway 4:

 

Experiment 2 - Quantatative Experiments - Global/ambient measurements before and after PV application in flow volume experiments. Do they achieve design specifications?

 

Experiment 3 - Qualitative Experiments - Comfort level subjective testing - All subjective testing complete and data available for analysis?
