Abstract


This paper analyses the problems involved in the airconditioning of buildings with walls. These problems are not easy, since it may be necessary, at a given time, to heat a part of the building and cool another part of it. The various systems of airconditioning are reviewed. These can be classified into those making use of large ducts; those employing small, moveable units with fans; individual units fitted in windows, including a cooling compressor; induction units with two or three pipes; and finally double duct high speed systems with mixing boxes. The various systems are compared, and some information is given on costs in Spain, as inferred from a recent competition in which the author has taken part.
