LATENT LOADS IN LOW HUMIDITY ROOMS DUE TO MOISTURE.

Author(s) : JONES B. W., BECK B. T., STEELE J. P.

Summary

THE PAPER DEALS WITH THE PROBLEM OF MOISTURE INFILTRATION THROUGH OPENINGS AND THROUGH DUCT SEAMS WHERE DUCTS PASS THROUGH UNCONDITIONED SPACE. ACTUAL MOISTURE INFILTRATION WAS DETERMINED EXPERIMENTALLY FOR VARIOUS HUMIDITY, TEMPERATURE, AND AIR OUTFLOW CONDITIONS. A SIMPLE CONVECTION THEORY IS PRESENTED FROM WHICH THE MOISTURE INFILTRATION THROUGH OPENINGS CAN BE ESTIMATED FOR A WIDE RANGE OF TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY. MOISTURE INFILTRATION THROUGH OPENINGS CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED BY PROPER DESIGN OF THE OPENING AND BY USING AN AIR CURTAIN.
