为了研究建筑物中的对流换热，开发了一个全尺寸的实验装置，该装置具有几个独特的功能——53个可单独控制的加热板，使房间表面接近等温，从而最大限度地减少辐射，使用两个不同入口的能力，通风系统能够以每小时2至100次换气（ach）的流速提供温度控制的空气，以及风速和温度测量系统。描述了该设施的设计、开发和功能。一篇配套论文介绍了利用该设备获得的高通气流速的结果。关键词:热流，建筑，对流，测试，测量，实验，通风，美国，换气率。 引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第97卷，Pt。1991年，纽约

In order to investigate convective heat transfer in buildings, a full-scale experimental facility was developed with several unique features - 53 individually controllable heated panels that allow the room surfaces to be near isothermal, thus minimising radiation, the capability of using two different inlets, a ventilation system capable of providing temperature-controlled air at flow rates between 2 and 100 air changes per hour (ach), and an air speed and temperature measurement system. Describes the design, development, and capabilities of this facility. A companion paper presents results, obtained with the facility, for high ventilative flow rates.KEYWORDS: Heat flow, buildings, convection, testing, measuring, experiment, ventilation, USA, air change rate.
