AIR FLOW ESTIMATION

摘要

A computerised method for estimating air flow within a ventilated room comprising a plurality of air supply units configured to supply air to a plurality of vents arranged across a floor of the room over an air supply plenum, the method comprising the steps of: i) identifying a vent having a minimum distance to any one of the air supply units; ii) for each of a selected number of the air supply units, calculating a contribution of air flow supplied to the identified vent from a sum of ratios of distances between the identified vent and each of the air supply units; and iii) repeating step ii) for a vent having a next minimum distance to any one of the air supply units until a contribution of air flow for each of the plurality of vents is calculated.
