Summary

An analysis of the ventilation effectiveness of a prototype personalized ventilation system of working places named PERMICS-LOS1 (personal microclimate system) was made, based on measurements of the air velocity field and of tracer gas concentrations using the decay method. The emphasis of the analysis was mainly on an experimental verification of a parameter based on the relative decrease of tracer gas concentration in the first minute of system operation dC(1) and on local ventilation efficiency using the local air-change index. A system analysis was made for several different operating regimes of personalized ventilation, where changes in air quantity and the direction of supplied air in the breathing zone were applied. The results of the experimental analysis were statistically evaluated, compared, and included in the existing database of previous research for use as supplementary values. The performed analysis has confirmed previous findings as well as the connection between the dC(1) parameter and ventilation effectiveness parameters, especially with the local air-change index.
