Corsi, Jeffrey A. Siegel Retail buildings have potential for both short-term (customer) and long-term (occupational) exposure to indoor pollutants. A multitude of sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are common to the retail environment. Volatile organic compounds can be odorous, irritating or carcinogenic. Through a field investigation and modeling study, this dissertation investigates exposure to, and control of, VOCs in retail buildings. Fourteen U.S. retail stores were tested one to four times each over a period of a year, for a total of twenty-four test visits. Over a hundred parameters were investigated to characterize each of the buildings, including ventilation system parameters, and airborne pollutants both indoors and outdoors. Concentrations of VOCs were simultaneously measured using five different methods: Summa canisters, sorbent tubes, 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) tubes, a photoionization detector (PID), and a colorimetric real-time formaldehyde monitor (FMM). The resulting dataset was analyzed to evaluate underlying trends in the concentrations and speciation of VOCs, identify influencing factors, and determine contaminants of concern. A parametric framework based on a time-averaged mass balance was then developed to compare strategies to reduce formaldehyde concentrations in retail stores. Mitigation of exposure to vi formaldehyde through air cleaning (filtration), emission control (humidity control), and targeted dilution (local ventilation) were assessed. Results of the field study suggested that formaldehyde was the most important contaminant of concern in the retail stores investigated, as all 14 stores exceeded the most conservative health guideline for formaldehyde (OEHHA TWA REL = 7.3 ppb) during at least one sampling event. Formaldehyde monitors were strongly correlated with DNPH tube results. The FMM showed promising characteristics, supporting further consideration as real-time indicators to control ventilation and/or environmental parameters. The vast majority of the remaining VOCs were present at low concentrations, but episodic activities such as cooking and cleaning led to relatively high indoor concentrations for ethanol, acetaldehyde, and terpenoids. Results of the modeling effort demonstrated that local ventilation caused the most uniform improvements to indoor formaldehyde concentrations across building characteristics, but humidity control appeared to have a very limited impact. Filtration used under specific conditions could lead to larger decreases in formaldehyde concentrations than all other strategies investigated, and was the least energy-intensive. vii Table of Contents List of Tables ......................................................................................................... xi List of Figures ...................................................................................................... xiv 1.

  • Performance of Rotary Enthalpy Exchangers
    PERFORMANCE OF ROTARY ENTHALPY EXCHANGERS by GUNNAR STIESCH A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE (Mechanical Engineering) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON 1994 ABSTRACT Rotary regenerative heat and mass exchangers allow energy savings in the heating and cooling of ventilated buildings by recovering energy from the exhaust air and transferring it to the supply air stream. In this study the adsorption isotherms and the specific heat capacity of a desiccant used in a commercially available enthalpy exchanger are investigated experimentally, and the measured property data are used to simulate the regenerator performance and to analyze the device in terms of both energy recovery and economic profitability. Based on numerical solutions for the mechanism of combined heat and mass transfer obtained with the computer program MOSHMX for various operating conditions, a computationally simple model is developed that estimates the performance of the particular enthalpy exchanger and also of a comparable sensible heat exchanger as a function of the air inlet conditions and the matrix rotation speed. The model is built into the transient simulation program TRNSYS, and annual regenerator performance simulations are executed. The integrated energy savings over this period are determined for the case of a ventilation system for a 200 people office building (approx. 2 m3/s) for three different locations in the United States, each representing a different climate. Life cycle savings that take into account the initial cost of the space-conditioning system as well as the operating savings achieved by the regenerator are evaluated for both the enthalpy exchanger and the sensible heat exchanger over a system life time of 15 years.

BY CAMERON TAYLOR, CM Images courtesy of Fieldpiece Instruments Inc, unless otherwise noted. sychrometrics is simply defined as the measurement of temperature and water vapor mixtures in a given sample Pof air. It is a subject that nearly all HVAC students are taught, and many often struggle to master. It is also almost always taught in an HVAC design con- text; less so from a perspective of field analysis and trouble- shooting. Students who go on to become service technicians often wonder why they were taught psychrometrics when they perceive how seldom they use it in the field.
