Abstract

The method of flow ratio k is often used for designing parallel push-pull ventilation. The k value is mostly selected empirically and is difficult to determine accurately, resulting in an imprecise design of the push-pull ventilation system. Therefore, parallel push-pull ventilation was taken as the research object in this paper. The push-pull ventilation studied consists of a square uniform supply hood and a square uniform exhaust hood, and the side length of pull hood and pull hood was same. A workbench was set between the push hood and pull hood, and the source of toluene pollutions was set in the center of the worktable surface. The optimal k values for different distances between push hood and pull hood were studied by numerical simulation using Ansys Fluent, which were obtained base on the distribution of wind speed and toluene concentration. The results showed that parallel push-pull ventilation is not suitable for applications when L / a ≥ 6. The changing patterns of k value with L / a is proposed in the range of 1.5 ≤ L / a ≤ 5 for the parallel square push-pull ventilation, which can be used to estimate k value relatively accurately under the condition that L / a is known, so as to guide the determination of the exhaust air volume of the parallel push-pull ventilation system.
