N2 - A mixing ventilation system integrated with a ceiling cooling system is a potential advanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning system for modern office buildings with a high sensible cooling load. This paper presents an evaluation of the effect of sensible cooling load on the indoor air distribution in a typical office room with mixing ventilation and ceiling cooling. The vertical distributions of indoor air temperature, air velocity and contaminant (CO2) concentration were evaluated by the vertical air temperature difference, turbulence intensity and contaminant removal effectiveness. The results showed that when the chilled ceiling surface temperature was increased from 15.0°C to 23.0°C and supply air temperature was decreased from 22.0°C to 19.0°C, the average vertical air temperature difference, turbulence intensity and contaminant removal effectiveness were 0.2°C–0.3°C, 27%–32% and 0.53–0.81 as both internal and external sensible cooling loads were 41.5 W/m2. Moreover, these evaluation indices varied slightly as the external sensible cooling load was increased from 41.5 W/m2 to 69.5 W/m2, whereas they varied greatly as the internal sensible cooling load was increased from 41.5 W/m2 to 69.5 W/m2. Hence, the external sensible cooling load could slightly affect the indoor air distribution, whereas the internal sensible cooling load could clearly affect the indoor air distribution in an office room with mixing ventilation and ceiling cooling.
