Book Description
A direct intercomparison has been made between common tracer gases used to measure air infiltration rates in buildings. The results indicate that air exchange rates measured using sulfur hexafluoride, SF6, are slightly larger than those measured using methane, CH4, or nitrous oxide, N2O. The ratio of air change rates measured using SF6 to air change rates measured concurrently using a lighter tracer gas was found to be 1.10 +- 0.10.

Air Infiltration
Author: CM. Hunt

ISBN:
Category : Air infiltration
Languages : en
Pages : 21
Book Description
This paper reviews the state of the art in the measurement of ventilation and air infiltration. It considers tracer gas techniques and discusses some of the tracer gases used as well as some of the potential sources of error. It also discusses fan pressurization-evacuation procedures for measuring building tightness and compares fan and tracer measurements. It discusses the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) crack method. It also considers a number of factors influencing infiltration rates and finally reviews a few of the empirical equations that have been developed to correlate infiltration rate with wind velocity and inside-outside temperature difference.

Tracer Gas Measurement Systems Compared in a Multifamily Building
Author: DT. Harrje
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Airflow
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
The more complex building poses additional challenges to air infiltration measurement, especially in the case of multiple zones and rooms. Today's technology has provided us with a number of measurement choices which include the constant concentration single-tracer gas system, multitracer gas systems using the mass spectrometer, and perfluorocarbon multitracer systems both passive and active. This paper compares simultaneous field measurements in a Princeton-area multifamily building using each of these tracer gas-based air infiltration systems. Personnel from Princeton University, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and Brookhaven National Laboratory were involved in the air infiltration measurement studies. Air infiltration rates in the various zones in each building are compared as well as the ease of implementation of the various approaches in these comprehensive measurements. Sources of errors using the various techniques are discussed.
