Checking the parameters of the internal environment by calculated simulation of measurements with a ball thermometer

Abstract

According to the regulatory documents in force in the Russian Federation, the measurement of the normalized indoor environment indicators should be carried out with a ball thermometer. These norms also apply to the premises of the transport infrastructure buildings. In this paper, the values of the radiation temperature tr and the local asymmetry of the radiation temperature dtr as to the ball thermometer have been estimated by calculation. An ordinary room of an intermediate floor with a window in the outer wall with a width of 3.8 m and a height of 1.8 m, the bottom of which is located at a height of 1 m from the floor, in Belgorod, has been subject to consideration. The room is provided by an air heating. The values of the asymmetry of the radiation temperature at the boundary of the serviced area of the room, that is, at a distance of 0.5 m from the outer wall, at a height of 1.7 m and 1.1 m from the floor in the calculated winter conditions exceed the optimal ranges limited by norms. It is shown that with an increase in the resulting room temperature, the values of the radiation temperature asymmetry also increase. The presented distributions of the radiation temperature over the volume of the room indicate that in the calculated winter conditions, the optimal requirements for tr values are not met at the same heights of 1.7 m and 1.1 m from the floor. Acceptable conditions meet the requirements of the norms.
