Research of Window's Discharge Coefficient in the Natural Ventilation Room

Article Preview

Abstract:

Discharge coefficient of window is one of the important factors in natural ventilated calculation, while there are many factors may impact the windows discharge coefficient. This article adopts the method of experiment, simulate the natural ventilation of room on the test bench , by measuring the pressure difference of both sides of window and the air flow through the window under different experimental conditions, analyze how the opening rate of window and the air flow impact the values of discharge coefficient of window, and giving the value of discharge coefficient of window under the experiment condition, hoping to provide help to the use of natural ventilation of building effectively.
