The Influence of Air Inlet on Ventilation Effect in Indoor SubstationTransformer Rooms

Ventilation design is the difficulty of transformer room design. Temperature field and velocity field in a transformer room was simulated by CFD method . By comparing simulation value with the experimental value in related document , the effectiveness of the mathematical model was verified. Based on it, an indoor substation transformer built was taken as the simulation object, then designed and simulated six kinds of ventilation condition by changing the location and area of air inlet, focused on the influence of air inlet on the ventilation effect by comparing the temperature field ,velocity field and temperature characteristic value in different condition. The simulation results show that when air inlet area is fixed, the air inlet should be arranged in the radiator side and its center height should be controlled in the radiator center height or slightly offset position, it should not be higher than the radiator. When the air inlet location is fixed, air inlet area should be increased along the high direction to improve ventilation effect. The conclusions can provide technical support for the ventilation design of transformer room.     

Numerical Model of Hot Smoke Flow in Residential Fire

Based on the characteristics of spatial structure of residential units, the law of indoor hot smoke flow was investigated by experimental research on a platform model with multiple floors and rooms in a residential building. Three factors exerting influence on hot smoke flow in residential construction were mainly analyzed, including the relationship between the height of space and the area of single room, the size of doorway opening, and the hub space.

Based on the characteristics of spatial structure of residential units, the effect of building space construction on temperature raise and hot smoke flow in residential fire was analyzed on building model with simulating multiple floors and rooms. The raise and distribution of temperature indoors were mainly tested under varied location of fire sources. And, the rule of smoke flow was discussed by using the law of temperature raise, indirectly. The results indicate that the mode of smoke flows is influenced by three spatial factors which include the form of junction terminal room construction; the height of down stand above the door and the relative locations of each room. The diffusion of hot smoke is prevented effectively by the down stand of the room; the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should be higher than that of the room without down stand. When the open direction of door in non fire room is opposite to that of the door in fire room, there is much more hot smoke.
