Experimental Assessment of Moisture Transfer in the Vertical Ventilated Channel

Abstract

This article considers the moisture transfer phenomenon in the vertical ventilated channel. Also the article considers innovative structures for the vertical ventilated channel.The negative factors connected with moisture accumulation and excessive moistening of a heat insulation are given. Optimum design parameters for definition of the most intensive moisture transfer are discovered: systems with and without grooved lines. Influence that existence of technological gaps (grooved lines) has on the speed of air flows in a gap is investigated. Dependence of speed on width of the ventilated gap for a design with the opened and closed grooved lines is established empirically. The dehumidification properties of the vertical ventilated channel are described, as well as dependence of mass evaporation rate on time is established. Processes of drying-out in various conditions are compared.
