STAIR WELL PRESSURIZATION CALCULATION

Stairwell No. 2 Tower-7 (3rd basement to Ground Floor)


Q1 = Kf A √ Δ P
Q1 = Air Leakage in CFM

A = Area of leakage in Sq.ft.


ΔP = Pressure difference = 0.197 inch (5.0 mm)
Kf = Coefficient 2610

No. of Floors = 4 Nos.

No. of Doors = 7 Nos.

Door size (mt.) = 2.1 x 1.5

Gap between door and frame/floor = 3 mm at top and on side


15 mm at bottom
Equal
Gap between door and frame/floor = 0.010 sq.ft at top and on side
0.049 sq.ft at bottom
Area of leakage between door & frame
= 2 x H x gap (side) + 1 x w x gap(top) + 1x wx gap (bottom)

= 2 x 6.9 x 0.010 + 1 x 4.92 x 0.010 + 1 x 4.92 x 0.049

= 0.1356 + 0.048 + 0.242

= 0.426 sq.ft

Area of leakage in closed condition / door = 0.426 sq.ft

Total leakage area for all doors = 0.426 x 5


= 2.13 sq.ft

Q1 = 2610 x 2.13 x 0.450

Total Area of leakage = 2503 CFM

Leakage of air through 2 No. open door

Q2 = Area of doors x Velocity


= 6.9 x 4.92 x 2 x 150 FPM

Q2 = 10167 CFM

Fan Capacity = Q1 + Q2

= 2503 + 10167

= 12669 CFM

Add 15% saftey = 14570 CFM

SAY = 15000 CFM
