ABSTRACT
For the first time at home and abroad, this study implemented radiant heating with the thermal energy supplied from hot water by embedding hot water panels in the walls of a single-person cabin and installing hot water tubes inside the hot water panels. The size of the single-person cabin is 2000 mm wide, 1050 mm long, and 2200 mm high. The single-person cabin of the same size as that of a single bed was studied so that the single-person cabin can be used as a bed at normal times, and used for dry sauna by those who like dry sauna in their own house where they live. The results of simulation of the air temperature distribution inside the single-person cabin in this study showed a uniform distribution of air temperature resulting from the radiant heat transfer inside the single-person cabin and the temperature distribution was shown to be a well-being temperature distribution beneficial to health.. In addition, in this study, the air temperature distribution measured in the experimental study and the temperature distribution value shown in the simulation results were in good agreement.
