14th AIVC Conference "Energy Impact of Ventilation and Air Infiltration", Copenhagen, Denmark, 21-23 September 1993

The use of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), nitrous oxide (N2O) or carbon dioxide (CO2) as tracer-gases have been examined for the measurement of airflow in a two-zone environmental chamber. A series of measurements were carried out to examine airflows through a doorway under natural convection, forced convection and combined natural and forced convection. Results were compared with those predicted using the MULTIC computer program.
