De beheersing van luchtbeweging en klimaat in ziekenhuizen
article
The necessity to know the direction and the amount of air transported through a hospital, as well as air-flow patterns in the rooms is mainly defined by bacteriological demands. Control of the air transport is impossible without a mechanical ventilation system. The influence of the wind on the behaviour of such a system can be calculated by using an electrical analogue. Concerning air-flow patterns in rooms an example is given of an operating-theatre where the expected air flow was disturbed by convective streams caused by the operating team. Whether or not a comfortable indoor climate in several departments of a hospital can be maintained by using natural ventilation, or that air conditioning has to be installed, can be calculated making use of an analogous method. Factors influencing the choice from points of view other than the heat load are mentioned.
