    Staircase Pressurization Fan, What Is The Equation To Calculate The Air Flow and Static Pressure For Fan - Bayt PDF

    Uploaded by

    Designer Forever
    (1) The equation to calculate air flow for a staircase pressurization fan is Q = 0.827 A (ΔP)1/2, where Q is the air flow rate, A is the flow/leakage area, and ΔP is the pressure difference, which is typically 50 Pa. (2) Static pressure can be calculated by adding all friction losses in the duct and outlets, plus the pressure needed to maintain, accounting for any dampers or filters. (3) Additional factors that affect calculations include the number and size of open doors, both internally and externally, as air will flow through these openings. References like ASHRAE provide more details on calculating air flow through open doors.

    The key factors to consider include the staircase volume, leakage area, pressure difference, and open doors. The primary equation given is: Q = 0.827 A (ΔP)^1/2

    In addition to leakage, the airflow must account for internally and externally open doors. The airflow through open doors is calculated as the sum of the door area times the velocity across each door.

    The airflow through open doors is calculated as Q(open doors) = sum [A(open door) x V]. BS5588 provides guidance on pressure differences and typical door velocities.

    For stairwell pressurization, refer to the below information:



    Q (Total) = Q (Leakage) + Q (open doors)
    0 Q (Leakage) =0.827 x A (Leakage) x (P)1/2

    Q (open doors) = sum [ A (open door) x V]



    Where,
    Q, Flow in m3/s.
    A, Area in m2.
    P, Pressure dierence between staircase and adjacent spaces
    in Pa.
    A (leakage), Area of gaps arround door varies from0.01 to0.06
    depending on the door type.
    A (open door), area of the open door.
    V, Air velocity across the open door.

    BS5588:
    P =50 Pa.
    1 open door on re oor with V =2 m/s and2 open doors with V
    =0.75 m/s.

    NFPA:
    P =45~133 Pa.
    No mention for the number of open doors; Q (Total) = Q
    (Leakage).

    In addition to what M. Arsalan has mentinoned which is the


    situation where all the doors of stairwell are closed, you have
    to consider the following:

    1. Air ow through internally open doors (Doors which are
    opened inside the building).
    2. Air ow throughexternally open doors (Doors which are
    opened to outside).

    For how to calculate the above2 You have to see ASHRAE
    Applications Fire and smoke management.
