Abstract
Most sickrooms in Japan have four beds, and there is the odor problem from patients or diapers. In this study, we propose to use the displacement ventilation as a means of obtaining high indoor air quality in sickrooms. The purpose of the study is intended to examine the validity of this system. In the previous study, temperature and contaminant concentration profile in a displacement-ventilated room were figured out. But, the actual sickroom has a partition curtain to keep patient's privacy and it is expected that the curtain has great influence on the temperature and contaminant concentration profile. This paper shows the experiment results and CFD analysis results to examine the effect of partition curtain in the displacement-ventilated room. Then the experiment results are compared with the calculated results by the zonal model.
