In
relation to this topic, Tim Sandle has written a new article:
Poor
airflow uniformity leads to turbulent airflow and vortex formation. In terms of
the velocity of the air, this is described in some regulatory documents: 0,.45
meters per second within arrange of 20%. Whether achieving good airflow (and
thereby avoiding poor airflow) needs to conform to the range specified in
regulatory guidance documents has been a long-standing issue, particularly
given the non-scientific origins of the regulatory guidance values. This
article considers regulatory guidance on airflow velocities and the way that
these are verified, and whether satisfactory airflow can be achieved outside of
these guidance values. The discussion extends to consideration of the
verification of these parameters at working height, especially in light of if
this the most appropriate location by which to measure air velocities.
