AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has generated many concerns about cross-contamination risks, particularly in hospital settings and Intensive Care Units (ICU). Virus-laden aerosols produced by infected patients can propagate throughout ventilated rooms and put medical personnel entering them at risk. Experimental results found with a schlieren optical method have shown that the air flows generated by a cough and normal breathing were modified by the oxygenation technique used, especially when using High Flow Nasal Canulae, increasing the shedding of potentially infectious airborne particles. This study also uses a 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics model based on a Lattice Boltzmann Method to simulate the air flows as well as the movement of numerous airborne particles produced by a patient’s cough within an ICU room under negative pressure. The effects of different mitigation scenarii on the amount of aerosols potentially containing SARS-CoV-2 that are extracted through the ventilation system are investigated. Numerical results indicate that adequate bed orientation and additional air treatment unit positioning can increase by 40% the number of particles extracted and decrease by 25% the amount of particles deposited on surfaces 45s after shedding. This approach could help lay the grounds for a more comprehensive way to tackle contamination risks in hospitals, as the model can be seen as a proof of concept and be adapted to any room configuration.

Compact Spinning

In the paper the structure of the compact spinning with pneumatic groove is introduced and the characteristics of three-dimensional flow field of the compact spinning with pneumatic groove are also investigated. Results from this research confirmed that In the compact zone, the air flows to the groove and enters the inner hollow of the slot-roller through the round holes, and the air on both sides of the groove condenses to the center of it and flows to the round holes; It is beneficial to compact the fiber and make the fiber slip to the bottom of the groove with shrink shape; the velocity and negative pressure are both not homogeneous, as the round holes are not continual, and the gradient of static pressure and velocity in compact zones are also perceptible.

Рассмотрена многоступенчатая технологическая рециркуляция аспирационного воздуха в перегрузочные желоба ― возврат аспирируемого от укрытий технологического оборудования воздуха обратно в технологический процесс с целью снижения энергетических затрат за счет создания аэродинамического сопротивления на пути движения эжекционного воздуха и поддержания требуемых теплофизических параметров в оборудовании. Рекомендуется оснащать желоба одноступенчатыми рециркуляционными затворами с минимально возможным углом подачи воздуха навстречу потоку, эжектируемому перегружаемым сыпучим материалом, что повысит энергетическую эффективность систем вентиляции и сократит выбросы в атмосферу вредных веществ.
