Problem statement: Rotating turbine ventilators were generally found in most countries. They were simple in structure, light in weight and cheap to install. It was quite surprising that, the aerodynamics of this common device had not been numerically examined and the design process of most of these ventilators had developed progressively through trial and error methods. Approach: This study was...

this paper discusses the results of the full-scale field measurement study to investigate the most efficient application strategy of the hybrid turbine ventilator (htv) in improving the indoor thermal comfort in hot-humid tropics. the effects of three different htv application strategies performance on improving the levels of indoor air temperature, relative humidity (rh) and air velocity were ...

BACKGROUND Although heated humidifiers (HHs) are the most efficient humidifying device for mechanical ventilation, some HHs do not provide sufficient humidification when the inlet temperature to the water chamber is high. Because portable and home-care ventilators use turbines, blowers, pistons, or compressors to inhale in ambient air, they may have higher gas temperature than ventilators with ...
