1. INTRODUCTION
Winwall was engaged by S.H. Stainless Steel Contractor Pte Ltd to conduct
performance test for one ‘Water Tight” aluminium louvre. Performance test on
the louvre sample was conducted on 14 August 2017.

3. TEST METHODS:
34
HEVAC Technical Specification -5th Edition.
Clause 6.1 — Water Penetration test.
Procedures:
vi.
vii
vii.
A calibration plate of the same shape and dimension as the blade face of
the louvre specimen was produced. The calibration plate was mounted in
the test position at the rear of the weather section test rig
The spray nozzles were mounted at the front of the fan with air straightener.
The ventilation rate was set to zero and the wind speed was set to 13m/s
as specified. The wind speed was measured at 1m in front of the test
plane.
The water supply rate q. with a water flow meter was adjusted and
measured so that the penetration rate qeo through the calibration plate
was between 75 and 83 Lihr/m?.
The water penetrated through the calibration plate was collected at
collection duct and measured at the end of 30 minutes test duration
‘A ventilation rate was adjusted to the next value. Procedures (iv) and (vi)
were repeated.
The calibration plate was replaced by the louvre specimen. The water
supply rate was maintained as that used during the calibration plate.
Procedures (ii) to (vi) were repeated
Photo 1 shown a view of the louvre undergoing water penetration test.
32 HEVAC Technical Specification -5th Ecition.
Clause 6.2 — Pressure loss/ Discharge loss coefficient.
Procedures:
i The louvre was mounted onto the test device set-up with outlet chamber.
il, A pressure drop of the louvre was determined by setting an air flow rate and
measures the pressure drop across the louvre.
ii, The ventilation airflow rate at downstream of the louvre was measured.
iv. Procedures (i) to (il) were repeated at different air flow rate.
v. The entry loss coefficient Ce is calculated for each ventilation air flow rate
used in the test
vi, Entry loss coefficient Cz is calculated as actual flow divided by theoretical
flow.
