How get the Crack flow coefficient?

Works in conjunction with ApacheSim to provide bulk airflow analysis for passive/hybrid ventilation system design and simulation.

How get the Crack flow coefficient?

Post by th333 »

Good to share my question on this forum

Now, I`m modelling high-rise building to study about airflow in the building.
To get a exact values in airflow Crack flow coefficient value is important.
manual recommend AIVC technical note 44 but, I want to apply window product`s real value.

on the product`s real specification, unit of air infiltration value is ' m^3/h m^2 at 100Pa '

so if
the product`s air infiltration value is 20m^3/h m^2 at 100Pa

then use power law equation ' Q=C(△P)^n '
C = (20m^3/h m^2)/(100Pa)^0.6 and C = 1.26 m^3/h m^2 Pa^0.6
and divide it by perimeter of window

Is my method right?
thank you for reading my question and I`m waiting your answer :)
have a nice day.
