چکیده انگلیسی
Air infiltration through building entrances is one of the main sources of energy loss in modern buildings. Previous studies have shown that air curtains, when used at building entrances, can reduce infiltration-related energy loss significantly. A recent computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study proposed a new empirical model to capture air curtain door infiltration/exfiltration characteristics under varying operation conditions and pressure differences. Extending the recent CFD study, this paper presents an experimental study to verify and further investigate the flow characteristics of building entrances equipped with air curtains. A small scale chamber of 2.44 m × 2.44 m × 1.3 m (L × W × H) was constructed and used for the measurements of infiltration/exfiltration and pressure differentials, which were then used for developing the empirical model across the operating air curtain. A 2-D particle image velocimetry (PIV) system with helium filled soap bubbles as seeds was used to visualize the airflow fields captured at the doorway. Both the PIV and the measurement-based correlations were also compared to CFD simulations. The flow/pressure measurements confirmed that, for the tested pressure difference range, air curtains can significantly reduce infiltration. The PIV results confirmed the existence of multiple flow characteristics subject to pressure differences across the air curtain. The experimental results also validated the CFD modeling methods for air curtain, and verified that the empirical model of air curtain from the literature is valid in estimating infiltration through building entrances equipped with air curtains.
