The criteria of rational application of overflush ventilation

 

Abstract: On the basis of stability analysis  of the stratified flows the criterion of the rational use of overflush ventilation is offered.

 

Overflush  ventilation it is a tool of requisite high-quality air in the ventilated area. Technology of overflush ventilation takes advantage  before mixing ventilation in the meeting halls, dinner halls, audiences and other apartments with the high ceilings.

Since a middle eightieth it finds a wideuse, especially in the Scandinavian countries. In the systems of ventilation of such type under the action of raising force  stratification of air is made on the height of apartment, due to what indexes of microclimate in the attendant area of apartment is high-quality, than in the systems with mixing ventilation.

Such phenomena, as a temperature gradient, levels of speed in separation in  stream, levels of stratification and, in the end efficiency of ventilation, can be appraised by the criterion of Archimedes [1, 2].

 The empiric criterion of typeselection of the ventilation system  is offered in [1]. It application is grounded at the considerable values of air renewal,   heat surplus in the ventilated area, realization of serve of intensive air flow  in small apartments. By the basic lack of its application, as our researches showed, there is possibility of appearance of draughts and turbulence of air near  floor.

The use of overflush   ventilation, foremost, is related to stability of gas flow in relation to small indignations. Our researches allowed to offer a criterion, that define frames of the rational use of such type of ventilation.

For the stratified flow (ignoring diffusive processes, because a flow is laminar), stability of flow depends on the row of aerodynamic parameters (air density, speed of its flow, temperature gradient) and geometry of the ventilated area.

Using Khantli’s addition [3] let enter the units class of the systems , in which two independent air density. The system of units of this class in general case must contain dimension factor [ê] = , (i.e. air density and its changes). These parameters are practically independent for vent system, therefore [ê] will eliminate from a number determining sizes.

We will represent the desired dependence as

                                                                                                 (1)

 

All five arguments of dependence have independent dimensions.  Applying π -theorem

                                                (2)

 

we will get one of possible values of function of f within a dimensionless multiplier within the framework of dimensional analysis

 

                                                                                                         (3)

On a structure the taught function corresponds to the criterion of Richardson, in accordance with which a flow is steady at  V > 1/4 .

Modifying it for the terms of overflush ventilation

 

                                                                                    (4)

where :

         , ,  - accordingly perimeter, area and volume of the ventilated area;

         - multipleness of ventilation;

we will get the criterion of the rational use of overflush  ventilation

 

                                                                                        (5)

Verification of this  on the existent systems of overflush  ventilation confirmed the rightness of their use.
