Baffle at leading edge.
Estimating air leakage through doors for smoke control.
Prediction of the flow of air through gaps around exterior doors is of considerable importance in determining ventilation rates and heat losses in buildings.
Baffle at leading edge.
Nondimensional relationship for flow through defined narrow gaps is used to predict leakage flow past closed door assemblies.
And filament brush seal.
The smoke leakage control of.
Knowledge of air leakage is also of importance in estimating the effectiveness of interior doors as barriers to smoke flow and in the design of smoke control systems where stair and elevator.
And filament brush seal.
Typical gap shapes considered include straight through.
The smoke control criterion required in the united kingdom is 3m3 of air loss per hour per linear metre of joint between door leaves and the doorframe or transom when measured at 25pa pressure.
Single or double sharp 90 bends.
Applications for prediction and design appropriate to smoke control systems are indicated.
Single or double sharp 90 bends.
Realistic smoke leakage control was investigated using actual scale through penetration firestop models installed in a curtain wall and air leakage measurement units.
Estimating air leakage through doors for smoke control.
The test procedure prescribes that during test the gap between the bottom edge of the door leaf and the floor or threshold is sealed.
