Abstract
Although these days application of heat recovery ventilation and improved kitchen ventilation system came into wide use in mixed-use residential buildings and exclusive residences, there are not enough ventilation systems except the local ventilation of kitchens and rest rooms. It is very important part to regulate and distribute correct air flow rate for controlling air change rate. The purpose of this study is to investigate the application of distributor at house ventilation system by comparing a duct system with out distributor and with distributor. The results of this study are as follows. (1) When using distributor though the size of duct diameter is reduced rapidly, the pressure loss doesn't rise largely. The pressure loss without distributor is 4.08 mmAq, the pressure loss with distributor 4.10 mmAq. (2) To use distributor can reduce materials of duct and secure enough ceiling space by reducing duct diameter. (3) Diameters and air flow paths of distributor on the design stage are important part for accurate air flow rate.
