For most of the heating hours, the ECM would be operating at very low airflows compared to the design airflow.
Unidirectional air flow (often referred as "laminar" airflow) maintains the direction of the supply air without significant recirculation or mixing (often referred as "turbulent" airflows).
Figure 3 shows the part-load performance of an ECM FPTU at different airflows and static pressures.
One of the main technical requirements is to achieve the highest possible air cleaning efficiency by reducing aerodynamic resistance in the device in order to minimise the amount of energy necessary for cleaning larger amounts of passing airflows. Aerodynamic resistance of the device is influenced by the flow rate and pressure loss.
The Solidworks Flow Simulation program is used in this work to put the blades into 5 airflows of different speeds: 3, 8, 10, 12, 15 m/s.
Summary: TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said the IRGC has built a wind tunnel capable of generating supersonic airflows for testing missiles and space rockets.
The calibration procedure involves (1) developing the initial, untuned model from construction documents; (2) measuring interzonal airflow directions in the building and comparing them to the simulated ones, thereby establishing the initial value of the evaluation metric; (3) taking measurements of airflows in the building guided by the locations of incorrect interzonal airflow directions (initially, step 3 may also include measurements of other parameters, such as envelope leakage, depending on time, cost, and interest or need to know their actual values); (4) recalculating the metric and assessing progress; and (5) repeating steps 3 and 4 until satisfactory agreement is achieved, improvement plateaus, or all possible measurements have been taken.
The blow and vacuum airflows are provided by the central blow, vacuum and filtration unit.
Generally, a smoke generator, light source, and digital camera are used to visualize the airflows qualitatively around the model on the turntable.
LoopDA implements the Loop Equation Design Method for sizing openings of natural ventilation in buildings, and allows direct consideration of the dynamics of stack and wind-driven airflows.
Airflows latest oven design has been specifically developed to meet the requirements of product curing and the diagram shows their industry leading design and innovative features, which provide the perfect cure.
Using blasting guns and nozzles that are included as standard accessories, the PowerDFX is said to be capable of blasting at 100 psi with airflows between 12 and 300 dfm, a 25x range.
