Volume 1 includes 46 …
The traditional way to dehumidify the outdoor air in a heating, ventilating and airconditioning (ENAC) system is by cooling the air temperature down below…
Temperature and cooling demand in a room summertime are influenced by numerous factors,like internal gains, ventilation, solar gain, behaviour of occupants…
This paper describes the design and development of the natural ventilation system of the new Contact Theatre Complex Manchester, UK, designed by A Goldrick…
Describes the development of the Swedish duct tightness guidelines, the "AMA system". The latest version, due in 1998, aims to increase tightness…
Air flow through doors, windows and other large openings constitutes a major factor inbuilding ventilation. However, due to the complexity of the physical…
The air flow in a Passive Downdraught Evaporative Cooling (PDEC) tower has been modelled using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code. Water is injected…
This investigation is part of project NATVENT TM, a concerted action of nine institutions of seven European countries under the Joule-3 program. It aims to…
Perceived barriers restricting the implementation of natural or simple fan assisted ventilationsystems in the design of new office type buildings and in the…
The purpose of this research is to give an overall prospect of the performance of 4 kinds of ventilation systems for dwellings using numerical simulation…
This paper presents the results from the monitoring of a low energy building, namely, the Portland Building University of Portsmouth - UK) during February…
The series connected heat exchangers - configured either as an arrangement of gas-gas,gas-liquid or liquid-liquid heat exchangers- are widely used in the…
Trouble shooting air distribution problems in mechanically ventilated offices often has to be carriedout in limited "after hours" periods. The method of…
This paper presents an analysis of different possibilities of representing mass transfers in zonal models. In this aim, formulations derived from the Navier…
This paper gives an overview of duct leakage issues in Europe. A literature review indicates alack of ductwork air tightness measurement data in the member…
Existing infiltration and exfiltration calculation methods are mainly based on the stationaryapproach, where long term mean values are used for wind input…
Concentrations of indoor air contaminants are normally calculated by assuming that they fullyfollow airflow paths in a room. This assumption is also used to…
The results presented here supply values for the room ventilation efficiency of a number of configurations covering as many as possible of the ventilation…
Checking models of thermal behaviour or ventilation of a room can be performed in specialtest cells. At EMPA a ventilation test chamber with several…
