IIR documentSummary
The frequent infiltration through doorways accounts for a very large proportion of the total heat load of cold stores. Understanding the influence factors, along with wider range of experiments, clearly supports the accurate prediction and cuts down the infiltration. This paper provides a series of experimental investigations on the infiltration under different conditions. The experiments take factors of various door opening sizes, temperature differences and on/off of the cooling fans into account. It is observed that the infiltration flow rate stays steady while the indoor temperatures of the local probes change vigorously. The infiltration air volume changes linearly with the door open time, whether the cooling fans are turned on or off. Moreover, the air mixture effect related to the cooling fans can counteract the infiltration process.
