Humidity regime of building envelope structures of the drying compartment tula brewery

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the humidity regime of building enclosing structures of the drying department of the brewery located in Tula. The assessment of the humidity regime was carried out in order to identify the causes of damage to external, internal walls and attic floors, and the task was also set to develop technical solutions for steam and waterproofing of the above-mentioned enclosing structures. To solve the tasks set, thermophysical calculations of building enclosing structures were performed, as well as an assessment of their moisture accumulation during the operation of the building. The position of the plane of possible condensation was determined using the author’s methodology. The results of thermophysical calculations showed the presence of moisture accumulation in the above-mentioned structures, which is associated with the use of PVC polyethylene film as wind protection. It was also revealed that there was a discrepancy with the regulatory requirements for thermal protection of the external wall of the electrical panel. In order to eliminate these problems, recommendations were made, which consisted in using an Isospan A type film as a vapor barrier, increasing the thickness of the insulation, organizing natural supply and exhaust ventilation of the attic room, as well as waterproofing the structures of the outer wall made of monolithic reinforced concrete.
