ENHANCING THE EFFICIENCY OF INDOOR LOCAL VENTILATION USING CROSS-FLOW FANS: CASE STUDY FOR A SMOKING CABIN

The paper presents an original solution for increasing air quality and reducing energy consumption of the local indoor ventilation by using cross-flow fans. The solution is a combination between the local exhaust ventilation (LEV) technique from industry, negative-pressure isolation rooms used in h...
