Experimental Assessment of Moisture Transfer in the Vertical Ventilated Channel

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

Moisture Transfer in Ventilated Facade Structures

This article discusses the phenomenon of moisture transfer in the designs of ventilated facades (VF). The main ways of moisture transfer are defined. The negative factors connected with moisture accumulation and excessive moistening of insulation are given. The physical processes occurring in the gap of the building envelope due to saturation of air with water vapor are described. The dependence of the intensity of the mass transfer on the air velocity in the layer is considered. Much attention is paid to the selection of the optimum design of the facade, namely a system with or without grooved lines. The dependence of velocity and temperature on the width of the ventilated gap is established empirically for the constructions with open and closed grooves. Expediency of a design without grooves to effectively remove moisture is determined

Impact of Rustication Joints on Lightweight Insulation in Ventilated Facade Systems

One of the problems of ventilated facades systems is the emission of heat-insulating layer. Emission is a process of separation or removal of material’s particles from insulation by virtue of different factors. In this article research of emission of contemporary light weight insulation in system of hinged ventilated façade (VF) with various design is carried out. Impact of design and hydraulic factors on insulation destruction is estimated. Quantitative characteristic of blast air through rustication joints in a vertical channel is given and, consequently, it is possible to determine control point of recirculation zone formation – the beginning of turbulent air flow. Particle’s removal in insulation and decline of its properties are most probable in case of tangential stress, that conform to turbulent air flow
