Measurements of interzone airflow and movement of aerosol particles were carried out in an environmental chamber. SF tracer gas and oil-smoke particles were used for this work. A series of measurements were conducted to investigate the effect of parameters such as interzone temperature difference and size of opening on the flow of aerosol particles. The particle deposition rate on thesurfaces of the chamber together with algorithms for interzonal particle flow through the openings were determined. Results were compared with those obtained using the tracer-gas.
This paper is concerned with measurement of air and aerosol particle exchange efficiency in a single zone chamber. Aerosol particles and tracer gases were injected into the chamber and their concentrations were monitored as a funtion of time. The chamber was provided with supply and exhaust terminals which allowed various airflow and particle patterns (e.g. piston flow, displacement flow) to be investigated. The effect of airflow pattern on deposition rate of aerosol particles on the surfaces of the chamber was determined.
