LoginImprovement in methods of air flow pattern scale modelling in large enclosure requires above all, précising the conditions necessary in the model in order to maintain Reynolds number independence of the mean flow, as well as defining ways in which
Bibliographic database Airbase
AIRBASE is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. It contains publications and abstracts of articles related to energy efficient ventilation. Where possible, sufficient detail is supplied in the bibliographic details for users to trace and order the material via their own libraries. Topics include: ventilation strategies, design and retrofit methods, calculation techniques, standards and regulations, measurement methods, indoor air quality and energy implications etc. Entries are based on articles and reports published in journals, internal publications and research reports, produced both by university departments and by building research institutions throughout the world. AIRBASE has grown and evolved over many years (1979 to present day, over 22000 references and 16000 documents available online). For most of the references, the full document is also available online.
Access to the publications is free of charge.
This paper introduces the infrastructure of Microflo CFO modelling system in conjunction with the virtual simulation environment.
The process of air exchange can be described through both planar and spatial network system. It depends on a few random variables (those related to climate) and also on controlled variables (i.e. those like arrangement, etc.).
A new experimental set-up to investigate the physical process of dust deposition and resuspension on and from surfaces is introduced. Dust deposition can reduce the airborne dust concentration considerably.
Several studies have shown that the lowest concentrations of contamination in operating theatres are achieved by using fabric covered laminar airflow systems.
Microbial monitoring of the indoor environment can be performed in several ways and with the aid of different techniques.
The occupants of buildings are exposed to a range of aerosol contaminants, of both indoor and outdoor origin; at present, filtered mechanical ventilation is the only effective means of airborne particulate control in polluted urban areas.
Future information age technology will demand cleaner and more cleanrooms for the manufacture, assembly and repair of electronic components.
Determination of the distribution of contaminant particles within zones becomes of great interest, with the increasing concern for indoor air quality.
This article describes a new and more efficient Vortex Air Distribution system for a soda recovery boiler house. Essentially th.e technology utilises directional air supply of up to 150 m3/s to compensate for beat gains of up to 2000 kW.
Effective ventilation systems for a factory where various kinds of contaminant are discharged from many point sources are investigated in this study. Two ventilation systems are examined by scale model experiment using tracer gas.
When a fume cupboard is placed in a room with a ventilation duct, the air movement inside and around the fume cupboard is fully three-dimensional turbulent flow.
The air leakages can have a large impact on heating needs and thermal comfort in industrial buildings. This is sometimes poorly taken into account, both due to the lack of theoretical approach and knowledge of air tightness.
The purpose of the work described in this paper is to develop a mathematical model of downdraft exhaust hoods in order that ways of improving these hoods efficiency can be examined. In this initial study the model developed is twodimensional.
Similar to supply air jets in mixing ventilation this paper describes a comprehensive flow model for displacement ventilation derived from the integrated Navier-Stokes differential equations for boundary layers.
Simulations have been performed to investigate the performance of intelligent algorithms for control of indoor air quality through natural ventilation strategies whilst simultaneously meeting the requirements of thermal and visual comfort.
Infiltration has traditionally been assumed to affect the energy load of a building by an amount equal to the product of the infiltration flow rate and the enthalpy difference between inside and outside.
When designing a new, or retrofitting an existing building it is desirable to minimise theheatinglcooling load, total energy use and emissions from combustion.
