Displacement ventilation. Influence of physical activity.

Author(s) : MATTSSON M., SANDBERG M.

Summary

This is the first report about an ongoing project, concerning the influence of physical activity on the ventilation process in a displacement ventilated room. Peoples influence, when sitting or standing still, is rather well documented, but there is certainly a lack of researches considering people also being in motion; thorough investigation is hard to find. For this purpose a simple "walking" manikin was put into systematic motions in a full scale test room. The introductory tests reported here concern motions limited to a continuous back-and-forth movement, with a fixed amplitude and velocity. The results of the measurements taken are given, and some speculations are made about them.
