INFILTRATION OF AIR INTO COLD STORES.

Author(s) : PHAM Q. T., OLIVER D. W.

Summary

AIR EXCHANGES THROUGH THE OPEN DOORS OF COLD ROOMS WERE MEASURED BOTH WITH AN ANEMOMETER AND A TRACER. THE RESULTS WITH THE ANEMOMETER SHOW THAT TAMM'S EQUATION SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY A 0.68 FACTOR. ANOTHER FACTOR WAS EVALUATED (ABOUT 47% DECREASE) AND IT CONCERNS IMPERFECT AIR INTERCHANGE. AIR CURTAINS REDUCE INFILTRATION TO ABOUT 75-80% AND PLASTIC CURTAINS TO ABOUT 93%. FORKLIFT TRAFFIC AND INTERNAL CIRCULATION FANS ACT ON AIR EXCHANGES. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE EXCHANGES AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION IS OFTEN COMPLEX AND DEPENDS ON HOW THE ENTERING AIR IS COOLED.
