VARIATION OF AIR STATUS PARAMETERS IN PRESENCE OF METHANE, IN THE VENTILATION DUCTS INSTALLATIONS
Abstract
The main role of ventilation systems and especially air conditioning systems is to create indoor conditions and air quality inside the rooms that are independent of external atmospheric influences. The sizing of ventilation systems and especially of air conditioning systems is done, in most cases, by considering the climatic elements as a basis for calculation. The real limit to air quality insurance it consists in maintaining in the air certain concentrations of harmful substances which do not endanger human health and do not create discomfort. The air condition parameters of interest for the ventilation and air conditioning technique are air temperature and humidity, atmospheric pressure and air velocity. For this study, in the experimental laboratory, the test was performed on the variation of the air condition parameters in the conditions of conveying a quantity of methane gas through the ventilation duct. During the experiment, the operating parameters of the drive motor were changed using a frequency converter on levels 50; 40; 30; 20; 10 and 5 Hz. The ventilation system used was structured by means of flow converters which were fixed in the open position. The ventilation system as well as the flow variators were operated by the SCADA type command and control system. The paper will present the analysis of the variation of the state parameters (temperature, humidity, absolute pressure and air velocity) by introducing a constant amount of methane gas in the ventilation duct.
