Performance assessment of an indoor LED illumination incorporated withthe building environment control system

The target of this study is to investigate aninnovative indoor LED illumination that usesheat pipes as the heat transfer channels toconduct the released heat of the LED to theheat-sink fins on the two sides. Naturalconvection inside the flow channels within theheat-sink fins or the forced convection made bythe returned flow of HAVC system serve as theoverall heat elimination mechanism. Thereleased heat of the LED light can besuccessfully brought to the ceiling space orHVAC evaporator to ensure normal operation ofthe LED light and maintain a good life.Fundamental investigation of the heat transferwere carried out to assess the lightingperformance and heat management of theindoor LED illumination, incorporated with thebuilding environment control system.
