Abstract
Up to the end of this thesis the DTAC has been developed solely to improve personal thermal comfort by providing a stream of air that has been chilled a few degrees below ambient conditions. As a complete personal climate control solution it will have to address indoor air quality as well. Preliminary thoughts for the future design is illustrated in Fig. 11.1 with suggested IAQ improvement in Fig. 11.2. A two-stage IAQ improvement is proposed:
