Design factors affecting the passive release of tracer gas for ventilation measurements

نویسندگان

چکیده

The ventilation rate is an important parameter for assessing indoor air quality and energy efficiency. In occupied buildings, measurements utilising passive methods are preferable to active due their simplicity less intrusive nature. perfluorocarbon tracer method can be used measure long-term rates this purpose. This requires the release of a gas which often liquid chemical diffusing out vial. emission key vial design as if it too low, sampler will not able detect gas. If high, become saturated. Both scenarios lead inaccurate results. There wide variability in but little information about relative impact each factor. Thus, aim study was compare common gas, perfluoromethylcyclohexane, using different vials designs i.e. capping styles, septa materials, fill levels. Samples were kept incubator gravimetric analysis carried semi-microbalance (resolution: 0.01 mg). results demonstrate that significantly affected by style level.

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Tracer gas evaluations of push-pull ventilation system performance.

A push-pull ventilation system is effective for hazardous material exhaustion. Although a push-pull ventilation system has advantages over a local exhaust hood, some laborious adjustments are required. The pertinence of the adjustments is uncertain because it is difficult to evaluate the performance of a push-pull ventilation system quantitatively. In this study, a measurement of the capture ef...

Improving Airflow Performance Models for Passive Solar and Natural Ventilation Design: Comparing Simulation and Preliminary Measurements

To achieve net-zero energy buildings, a complex relationship exists between orientation, spatial composition, building fabric, and thermal and climatic conditions. Airflow conditions are the result of balancing the above relationships and directly affect occupant comfort. The opportunity for architects is that airflow and related energy performance can be organized by spatial composition. Under...

Economic Factors affecting demand for gas in Iran

In this study the autoregressive distributed lag model and error correction model to estimate Hazard function is used during the years 1377-1394. The results show that in the short term and long term there is substitution between electricity and natural gas in the domestic sector. But the price elasticity of demand relative to the price of electricity is less than 5.0, this result indicates tha...
