This document details calculations for determining the nitrogen retention time in a capacitor bank room-1. It provides information on the height, floor area, temperatures, and static pressure of the protected enclosure. It then lists the measured and corrected air flows during depressurization and pressurization tests to calculate the equivalent and below ceiling leakage areas. Based on these, it determines the retention time for nitrogen in the room is 57.2 minutes.
