Bypass air conditioning systems are divided into three types; an outdoor air bypass, a mixed air bypass and a return air bypass system. What makes the return air by pass system more effective is that it directs all of moist outdoor air through the cooling coil. The bypass air conditioning system can maintain indoor R.H (Relative Humidity) less than a conventional CAV (Constant Air Volume) air conditioning system by adjusting face and bypass dampers at part load. When a design sensible load (the ratio of sensible load to total sensible load) is 70 percent (at this time, RSHF (Room Sensible Heat Factor) . 0.7), indoor R.H was maintained 59 percent by the return air bypass system, but 65 percent by the conventional CAV air conditioning system (valve control system). The bypass air conditioning system can also improve IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) in many buildings where the number of air change is high.

This study is performed to investigate heat transfer characteristics for thermal performance of fin-and-tube sensible heat exchangers under the low air flowrate according to fin geometry combination and coolant flowrate control. Fins and tubes of samples were separated between front row and rear row. Experiment results are plotted heat transfer rate of each row, heat transfer coefficient and sensible heat ratio against water flowrate control of each row. It is observed that thermal performance can be enhanced by fin geometry combination and water flowrate control of each row under the low air flowrate.

우리나라의 여름 기후는 고온 다습한 특징을 갖고 있다. 고온 다습한 지역에서는 습도가 쾌적성을 결정하는데 중요한 요소가 되기 때문에, 습도가 높으면 온도가 그다지 높지 않더라도 쉽게 무더위를 느낀다. 이러한 계절적 특성을 없애 쾌적한 생활을 영위하기 위하여 생활의 질적 향상과 더불어 공조장치의 수요가 매년 두드러지게 증가하고 있다. 특히, 실내의 경우에는 공조장치 중 대표적인 에어컨(air conditioner)으로 냉방을 행함으로써 고온 다습한 여름철의 거주공간을 개선하고 있다. 그러나 고온 다습한 환경하에서의 과다한 에어컨 사용은 인체의 온열 환경적 측면에서 오히려 불리하다. 왜냐 하면, 에어컨에서는 여름철에 잠열(latent heat)을 고려해야 함에도 불구하고 단지 현열비(sensible heat factor)로 취출온도를 결정하고 있기 때문이다. 그 결과, 실내가 과다하게 냉각되어 재실자에게 불쾌감은 물론, 심지어 냉방병도 초래할 수가 있다.
