The CFD model was established based on a large semiconductor plant and verified by measured data. Then, the effects of these factors including fan filter unit (FFU) configuration, building envelope and fresh air system on temperature distribution were analyzed. The results indicate that both increasing FFU air velocity and placement rate can decrease maximum temperature difference. The 33% placement rate has a higher performance-price ratio because the maximum temperature difference differs slightly at 33% and 50% placement rates. The number of FFU can decrease by 415 when placement rate reduces from 50% to 33%. Increasing the thermal resistance of building envelope can also improve the temperature distribution. And changing the thermal insulation properties of roof is more effective than changing that of external wall. So, more attention should be paid to the thermal insulation properties of roof. For fresh air system, fresh air needs to mix well with original air to reduce the effect on temperature. Thus, fresh air inlet port should be inserted into the return air plenum in the design.","PeriodicalId":55613,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ventilation","volume":"70 1","pages":"284 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73525191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Borsboom","doi":"10.1080/14733315.2020.1777661","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14733315.2020.1777661","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract The building airtightness is essential to achieve a high energy performance. In most countries however, it is not mandatory to measure the airtightness. In the Netherlands it is common practice to just take several samples in a housing project. These samples do not give a good indication for all the buildings in a project. It is therefore important to measure the airtightness of all the buildings. Current methods for airtightness measuring are too expensive and time consuming to make this feasible. A method with a new device, the AirTightnessTester (ATT), is proposed. By using the buildings ventilation system, a reduction in price and time can be achieved. The ATT measures in compliance with RESNET-380-2016. The ATT makes use of the ventilation system of the building. It will be explained when and how the ATT makes use of a ventilation system. We have looked at the different ventilation systems that are commonly used in new housing projects in somewhat more detail to analyse the feasibility of our method in practice. It is concluded that several systems can be used as they are now. Some ventilation systems cannot be turned on and off easily. For these ventilation systems a setting switching method has been developed. The theory behind this method, and some preliminary results using this method will be presented. To validate measurements with the ATT, comparisons have been done to the blower door. Preliminary results were already presented during the 2018 AIVC conference but further validation was still necessary. The measurements with the blower door are multi-point measurements and are all done in compliance with ISO9972. The measurements done with the ATT are all single-point measurements. The comparisons are made with the blower door, because since it is the most used method for airtightness measuring. To get a fair comparison, the uncertainty of both methods is taken into account. Overall the blower door and the ATT give show similar results for the airtigthness. In 23 of the 37 measurements it was found that the measured air leakage with the ATT was slightly higher than the measurement compared to the result with the blower door. When switching between a low and a high flow, it was found that 10 out of 12 measurements with the ATT were higher.","PeriodicalId":55613,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ventilation","volume":"51 1","pages":"287 - 294"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87627335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the analytical solution is developed to estimate the thermal performance of the double-skin façade system with and without perforated sheet operating under natural ventilation mode. This analytical model is designed to predict the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) for hot summer conditions. An experimental investigation has also been conducted to validate the proposed analytical model. Results showed good agreement between the measured and calculated value of SHGC for DSF system with and without perforated sheet. It is observed that the addition of a perforated sheet reduces the SHGC by nearly 51.5% as compared to DSF system. Perforated sheets enable a better stack effect within the air cavity zone and thereby improve heat transfer characteristics. Therefore, the benefit of the perforated sheet within the air cavity of DSF system is profound over conventional DSF system.","PeriodicalId":55613,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ventilation","volume":"60 1","pages":"263 - 283"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85863601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new type of building model comprising an underground depot and a superstructure has been constructed. To study the hybrid ventilation (HV) in interlayer of the underground depot with a superstructure under monorail line section fire, full-scale numerical simulation and reduced-scale (1:50) experiment were performed. Five ventilation velocities were used under a certain heat release rate. The temperature distribution and stratification in the interlayer were examined, and the movement of the fire smoke was analyzed. The smoke layer was visualized using a laser sheet and the smoke layer thickness determined by N-percentage rule (N = 10, 20, 30) was compared with the results of visual observation. At the same time, CFD simulations were conducted to measure the height of smoke layer and the smoke front propagation. Besides, the distribution of carbon monoxide (CO) in the interlayer was also simulated. The results show that N value of 30 could properly determine the smoke layer thickness in relatively stable stage of combustion. HV had a better effect on smoke control than natural ventilation (NV) did. At a ventilation velocity of 1.4 m/s, the smoke layer in the interlayer remained in a steady state until its exclusion from the building. CO could be effectively controlled and did not spread all over the interlayer in HV systems. The structure of HV system can be adjusted according to the actual conditions of the various sizes and types of buildings. Thus, the HV system shows good adaptability and can be directly applied to the design and installation of new buildings such as underground garages and depots. The results of the fire dynamic simulations and experimental tests exhibited considerable agreement.","PeriodicalId":55613,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ventilation","volume":"42 1","pages":"53 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80730459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Full-scale experiments were conducted in a climate chamber, in order to investigate the features of IJV. Different ventilation systems and supply air conditions were investigated along with indoor thermal environments, and ventilation effectiveness. For IJV, the indoor environment was similar to that of DV with small supply momentum, and was similar to that of MV with large supply momentum. The specific Archimedes number, which can be calculated by design conditions, was defined to express the balance between the supply momentum and buoyancy force.

The absolute roughness of the tunnel walls of 70 mm is determined to represent the influence of curved tunnel geometry and tunnel equipment not explicitly modelled on the tunnel airflows and their retardation. The simulations results are compared against on-site measurements during a full-scale ventilation test conducted in the Polana tunnel in 2017. The comparison includes steady-state bulk airflow velocity and velocity profile investigated by a grid of five anemometers. The simulations results are in good accordance with experimental data with relative errors below 2% for bulk velocities and typically below 9% for velocities measured by particular grid anemometers. Specific circumstances where errors exceed the latter value are discussed. The influence of unknown external dynamic pressure fluctuations on the simulation results is also analysed. Optimal settings for parallel computations are determined from the point of view of simulation accuracy and performance.

Afterwards, numerical simulations are carried out on airflow distribution in those compartments with four ventilation modes under radiant heating conditions in winter. Research results show that as for thermal comfort, task air supply can provide the smallest temperature difference between head and foot positions as well as the best thermal comfort. As for effectiveness of air supply, the ventilation efficiency of louver side air supply is the highest among others. As for effectiveness of pollutant removal, the ventilation efficiency of task air supply is higher than the other three options.
