THE INFLUENCE OF INDOOR RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND FABRIC PROPERTIES ON THERMAL TRANSMITTANCE OF TEXTILE DRAPERIES.

Author(s) : EPPS H. H., GOSWAMI B. C., HASSENBOEHLER C. B. Jr

Summary

FLAT DRAPERY FABRICS WERE SEALED TO A FULL-SCALE WINDOW BUILT INTO AN INSULATED WALL BETWEEN A COLD CHAMBER, WHICH SIMULATED OUTDOOR WINTER CONDITIONS, AND THE INSIDE OF A TEST ROOM. THERMAL TRANSMITTANCE OF THE WINDOW/FABRIC SYSTEM WAS MEASURED BY TRANSDUCERS MOUNTED ON THE SURFACE OF THE WINDOW GLASS. TRANSMITTANCE VALUES OF TEN EXPERIMENTAL FABRICS WERE MEASURED AT TWO INDOOR RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS. THE EFFECTS OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY, FIBER HYDROPHILICITY, FABRIC WEAVE OPENNESS, AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FABRICS ON THERMAL TRANSMITTANCE ARE DISCUSSED.
