Review of airflow measurement techniques: annotated bibliography 12.

Author(s) : AIVC, INIVE, MCWILLIAMS J.

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

This publication, which is included in the AIVC CD-ROM, outlines airflow measurement techniques, but does not make recommendations for techniques that should be used. The airflows that are discussed are those within a room or zone, those between rooms or zones, such as through doorways (open or closed) or passive vents, those between the building and outdoors, and those through mechanical air distribution systems. Techniques that are highlighted include particle streak velocimetry, hot wire anemometry, fan pressurization (measuring flow at a given pressure), tracer gas, acoustic methods for leak size determination, the Delta Q test to determine duct leakage flows, and flow hood measurements. Because tracer gas techniques are widely used to measure airflow, this topic is broken down into sections as follows: decay, pulse injection, constant injection, constant concentration, passive sampling, and single and multiple gas measurements for multiple zones. Selected papers are annotated, and a bibliography is included for each topic with full abstracts. This report is part of the work of the IEA Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems (ECBCS) Programme.
