CHAPTER 13
. 1957 Guide
The Technical Advisory .Committee on Weather Design Conditions has suggested that wet-bulb design temperature be taken as that wet-bulb temperature which has been equalled or exceeded in 5 percent of the hours during months of the period of record. While not available for the 1956 edition of The Guide, due to the tremendous task of "compiling these data, it is hoped that they will be available for some stations for future editions.
The wind velocity to be used in design should be that wind velocity which accompanies the design temperatures in each instance, but since these data are not available, the average summer wind velocities for the period of record were taken from U. S. Weather Bureau records revised to 1948. It is pointed out that this is. not necessarily the velocity which coincides with the design temperatures, but it may serve as a guide to the designer.
Other weather data, such as daily range of temperature, are useful particu larly when making cooling load calculations for an early morning peak on an east exposure. Daily range of temperature is the difference between the average of the daily maximum dry-bulb temperatures and the average of the daily minimum temperatures. This range is highest in semi-arid or desert regions and at high elevations, and lowest near the oceans or very large lakes. The daily range of temperature (Fahrenheit degrees) in July for the principal areas of the United States can be approximated from the following tabulation:
East Sea Shore............ 12 to 18 East of Mississippi River............... ........... 19 to 24 Gulf Sea Shore....... . .12 to 18 Mississippi River to Rocky Mountains__ 24 to 33 Great Lakes Shore.... 18 to 21 Rocky Mountain Area................................. 33 to 42 West Sea Shore........... 15 to 20 West Coastal States.....................................20 to 36
Ventilation Rate
The introduction of outside air is necessary for the ventilation of condi tioned spaces. Chapter 6 suggests minimum outdoor-air requirements for representative applications; but it is to be emphasized that minimum re quirements are not necessarily adequate requirements for all psychological attitudes and physiological responses. Where maximum economy in space and load are essential, as in submarines or other restricted spaces, as little as 1 cfm of outside air per person has been found to be sufficient provided that satisfactory ventilation is simultaneously obtained by an adequate decontamination of recirculated air.*
Local codes and ordinances frequently specify ventilation requirements for public places and for industrial installations. For operating rooms, minimum requirements for safe practice are given in a National Board of Fire Underwriters' pamphlet.* This pamphlet does not require 100 percent outside air in operating rooms, although 100 percent outside air is normally. used and recommended.
Recommended and minimum ventilation rates for the most common applications are summarized in Table 3. For further general applications, a basis of estimating the cfm per person may be taken as:
1. People not smoking...................................... 1\ Recommended 5 Minimum 2. People smoking................................... '......... 40 Recommended 25 Minimve
The cooling load due to the introduction of outside air for ventilation is determined once the indoor and outdoor design conditions are fixed. Csk t culations will be discussed subsequently.
