Development of Air Supply Nozzle for Stadium Chair

Abstract

This paper describes the development of airconditioned seats for outdoor stadiums and reports their performance results. After considering the best location for the installation of the air supply port, the air outlet was mounted on the cup holder. Because of its concentric circular form, the outlet located in the cup holder is able to blow air upward to the occupied zone. An experimental cooling performance evaluation was conducted, which compared the proposed cup holder nozzle with standard, riser-mounted, stadium air conditioning systems.
