Description
Summary:Archaeology museums play an especially important role in protecting unearthed cultural relics from natural weathering caused by the sun, wind and rain and for visitors to understand a certain history. Indoor microclimate conditions in archaeology museums greatly influence the protection of unearthed relics; however, many of the unearthed relics are suffering deteriorations or even ruins owing to improper indoor environment. In this research, a radiant air conditioning system is proposed to implement the local environment control for unearthed relics. The system can satisfy the specilized needs of the unearthed relics in preservation environment with very low energy consumption. Moreover, the soil-atmosphere coupling environment trends to be more balance such that the deteriorations caused by non-equilibrium can be greatly delayed.
