EVAPORATION FROM SWIMMING POOLS.

Author(s) : HANSSEN S. O.

Summary

STATES THAT TO DETERMINE THE ECONOMICALLY OPTIMUM QUANTITY OF AIR AND OF COMPONENTS IN A VENTILATION SYSTEM, IT IS NECESSARY TO KNOW THE EVAPORATION RATE AS A FUNCTION OF THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ROOM AND THE WATER, THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND THE LEVEL OF ACTIVITY. THE LITERATURE GIVES SEVERAL METHODS FOR CALCULATING THIS EVAPORATION WHICH GAVE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RESULTS. FULL-SCALE MEASUREMENTS WERE REQUIRED. A SUGGESTED SEMI-EMPIRICAL MODEL FOR EVAPORATION FROM A POOL THAT IS NOT IN USE GIVES A SATISFACTORY DESCRIPTION OF THE EVAPORATION RATE ; ONE OR A FEW BATHERS GIVE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE EVAPORATION RATE, BUT A FURTHER INCREASE ONLY GIVES A SMALL ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTION. LARGE WET AREAS OF FLOOR WILL AFFECT THE DESIGN OF THE VENTILATION PLANT. (INT. BUILD. SERV. ABSTR., GB., 25, N 5, 1990/09-10, 90-01366.
