The Research and Development on Air Conditioning System of Novel Wheelchair for Moving the Respiratory Disease Patients

Abstract

          The research and development on the air conditioning system of a novel wheelchair for moving the respiratory disease patients is the technical research for the air conditioning system designed to move the patients, it will benefit public health. The results of the study on the air conditioning system design and the design of the new wheelchair structure are proposed as : The prototype of a novel wheelchair structure is built with materials that can be found and installed easily. The new frame structure design is added without destroying the original structure. This optimal air flow is based on the maximum value of cigarette smoke from the smoker , is 30 CFM or 0.0141 m³/s (average air velocity of 1.8 m/s), which is used as the design value. The result showed that average air velocity for novel wheelchair in air conditioning system is 2.5 - 4 m/s, it is tested by the Anemometer. They also is calculated as pressure drop of 3.6 – 9.3 Pa, which is confirmed for practical application as Standard. Moreover, it covers as using for both the shape and age of the patients. Therefore, this novel wheelchair can be a prototype to be produced in larger quantities to support the infectious crisis of respiratory disease.
