Method of Determining the Cooling Capacity of the Cooling Radiant Panel

Decarbonization of engineering networks of buildings of various purposes is necessary to achieve the European Union’s goal of zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. One of the directions of decarbonization of the energy sector is the introduction of radiant cooling systems, which allow the use of renewable energy sources and reduce the heat load on the ventilation system. For the wide implementation of radiant cooling systems, an accessible method for determining their cooling capacity is necessary. The article is devoted to the solution of the urgent task of developing an engineering methodology for determining the cooling efficiency of the cooling beam panel. The method is based on the requirements of Ukrainian regulations regarding the calculation parameters of indoor and outdoor air, existing methods for determining heat gains into the room and information of the latest research on heat transfer coefficients and heat transfer coefficients of cooling panels. The advantages of the proposed engineering methodology are universality, informativeness, accessibility for engineers. It enables a comprehensive approach to the selection of radiant cooling devices for specific premises.
