Aims of Ventilation System
To remove any undesirable odours or contaminants in a space or living place
To ensure the CO2 produced by respiration is being replaced by an adequate supply of O2
BC 3722 HVAC Engineering
Types of Ventilation
Natural Ventilation No mechanical means of supply and extraction of air Allow air to enter or leave the building due to pressure
differences between outside and inside air Open windows, ventilators, shafts
Mechanical Ventilation With mechanical means of supply and extraction of air Control the amount of air entering and leaving Fans

Natural Ventilation
Two basic driving forces:
Wind Effect:
Pressure on the face of a building due to rapid deceleration of the wind of the outside surface
Stack Effect
Buoyancy effect due to the temperature difference between the outside and inside air
BC 3722 HVAC Engineering
Wind Effect
Wind speed varies with height above the ground
This wind speed is related to wind pressure

m

u is mean wind speed at height z
u is mean wind speed at heigth of 10m in open country
K and a are parameters dependednt on terrain

Wind Effect
Roughness => depends on the type of bldgs From the eqt.,
z ↑ u ↑
However, this is impossible for the wind speed to be infinity. To explain this, basic boundary theory is adopted.
Basic boundary theory:When wind speed approaches the ambient wind speed, the
height become the thickness of the boundary layer

Wind Effect
A non-dimensional coefficient, Cp
where p = mean pressure at any point on bldg surface
p0 = pressure in the undistributed air stream
ur = mean wind speed at a height equal to the bldg height

Two assumptions can be made with good accuracy:
(i) Density if air at mean of the inside and outside temp, ρ, can be put equal to the densities, ρo and ρi
(ii)Ratio Δρ/ρ can be put equal to ΔT/T, where T (in K) is the mean temp. of the absolute temp. of the inside and outside air
Mechanical Ventilation
Air infiltration air leakage through cracks around windows, doors Uncontrolled and undesirable
Displacement ventilation Air is supplied at low velocity through large number of
openings in ceiling or floor, and push across the cross-section of the space taking all the contaminants with it
Dilution ventilation Air is introduced through jets into the room, jet set up a
mixing pattern in room, thus diluting the contaminant in space before extract

Threshold Limiting Value (TLV)
1. As a time-weighted average concentration for a working day, or working week, to which workers may be subjected without adverse effects
2. As a maximum concentration to which workers can be subjected for a short time period, say up to 15 minutes
* Lower explosive limit: concentration which must never be exceeded at any time
