When return air doesn't return.
Author(s) : ALDER G.
Type of article: Article
Summary
Ventilation air which is not held within well-sealed ductwork will move in the direction of any pressure difference. Open zones such as air-conditioned rooms must therefore be arranged at neutral-pressure parts of the air circuit. If not, conditioned air will be lost or outside air drawn into the circuit. This will require mechanical extract ventilation as well as supply. Leakage may also occur with water vapour, which will move in the direction of a vapour pressure difference, even if the static pressure is higher. A.R.T.
