supply vent

The accumulation of heat, contaminant and water vapour into the upper part of rooms is utilized in stratification and zoning room air conditioning strategies. For the zoning strategy the plume penetration through the supply air jet is an essential parameter in modelling the temperature, concentration and humidity in the lower and upper zones of the room. This paper presents an analytical method for modelling the plume penetration for an air distribution method based on horizontal inclined jets of industrial grilles.

Depending on the demands regarding the size and location of the occupation zone and the need for outdoor air flow rates, different ventilation systems and air supply devices have to be used in different kinds of buildings. The occupation zone in a residential building can be dficult to define, as many different activities can take place. Furthermore the hrnishings of the room can change with time. The highest air velocities and the lowest air temperatures in the occupation zone will often occur close to inlet air devices.

The paper will describe the development of the storm safety value, experience of its use and suggestions for use in other connections.

An even distribution of room air can improve indoor air quality, lower energy costs, and create thermally comfortable environments. This paper investigates the influence of the design of plaque diffusers on the efficiency of supply air. For better comfort and more accurate observations, the isothermal flow investigation was made in a small scale chamber with the air supply and exhaust on opposite walls. The supply air was spread radially and symmetrically over the vertical inlet wall. Plaques of different sizes, both solid and perforated were tested.
