Airflow characteristics in the cold room of culture-heritage films archives.

Author(s) : KHALIL E. E.

Summary

Airflow characteristics in ventilated and air-conditioned spaces play an important role in the achieving of comfort and hygienic conditions. This paper utilizes a 3D time-dependent computational fluid dynamics model to assess the airflow characteristics in different cold stores and spaces used to preserve negative films for an archival heritage. It was found that the optimum airside design system can be attained, if the airflow is directed to pass all the enclosure areas before extraction. Still, all factors and evaluation indices have a shortcoming in terms of description of the influence of the recirculation zones on the storage zone and also on the fresh supplied air. The evaluation model should assess the airflow characteristics in any enclosure according to its position in the enclosure and the expected target of it along its pass to the extraction.
