Abstract

The object of this research was to study the movement of air through a fully or partially opened doorway with and without the influence of temperature and to ascertain the amount of supply air required to prevent this movement. Door openings of 0. 10 to 1. 40 m wide and temperature differential of 0 to 12 degrees Celsius were studied. From these results critical areas in hospitals may be designed more effectively to given requirements.
