 Infiltration Load
Infiltration through window crack

Wind Action

Assuming a wind velocity of 15 kmph (4.166 m/s)

∆P = 0.00047 × 152 = 0.11 cm H2O

Infiltration Rate for window = 2.5 m3/h/m crack (from table 18.11 for 0.11 cm wind pressure)

Length of crack in 4 windows + 2 gates = (2 × 110) + (4 × 150) = 820 cm = 8.2 m

Infiltration through door opening and closing

Doors

2 doors × 3.4281 × 1.9813 cmm /m2 = 13.584 cmm

Crack

8.2m × (2.5/60) = 0.341 cm

Infiltration cmm = 13.584 + 0.341 = 13.925

Qs = 0.0204 cmm × (To -Ti) = 0.0204 × 13.925 × (40-23) = 4829.19 W

QL = 50 cmm (ωo – ωi) = 50 × 13.25× (0.0137 – 0.0088) = 3411.6 W
