    This document provides input data and calculations for pressurized stairwell design in a 6-level building. It includes details on floor area, wall areas, temperatures, door dimensions, and assumptions. Calculations are shown for pressure differences, flow rates, and height limits to ensure satisfactory stairwell pressurization under both simple and Canadian pressurization systems. The total flow rate needed for the Canadian system is calculated to be 9.18 cubic meters per second.

    1. Input Data:

    No. of levels (including ground & basement floor) = 6


    Average level height = 4 m
    Floor Area = m2
    Exterior building wall area per floor = 420 m2
    Wall Tightness = 2 (1=Tight, 2=Average, 3=Loose, 4=Very Loose)
    Stairwell wall area per floor = 80.8 m2
    Wall Tightness = 2 (1=Tight, 2=Average, 3=Loose)
    Elevator shaft walls = m2
    Wall Tightness = (1=Tight, 2=Average, 3=Loose)
    The area gap around each stairwell door = 0.024 m2
    Outside design temperature = 41 deg C
    Stairwell temperature = 25 deg C

    Stairwell door width = 1.8 m


    Stairwell door height = 2.1 m
    Force to overcome door closer = 53 N
    Distance from door knob to
    edge of knob side of door = 75 mm

    2. Assumptions:
    The pressure difference between stairwell
    and building at stairwell bottom = 20 Pa
    .
    Critical Velocity = 1.524 m/s

    4. Height Limit Check:

    Maximum allowable pressure difference


    between the stairwell and the building = 40.56 Pa Eq (11) ASHRAE Application HB 1999, Ch.51

    Height limit below which satisfactory


    pressuriation is possible = 54.0 m

    5. Calculations:
    Abo Flow area between the building and outside per floor = 0.088 m2
    Asb Flow area between stairwell and the building per floor = 0.033 m2

    B Pressure difference per height due to stack effect = 0.592 Pa/m


    Eq (1) ASHRAE Application HB 1999, Ch.51
    Psb Pressure difference between stairwell top and the building = 32.47 Pa
    Eq (17) ASHRAE Application HB 1999, Ch.51
    5.a Simple stairwell pressurization:
    Q Flow rate of the pressurization air = 0.845437 m3/s (= 1791 cfm)
    Eq (18) ASHRAE Application HB 1999, Ch.51
    5.b Canadian stairwell pressurization:

    In this system, an exterior stairwell door opens automatically uopn system activation. In addition, the lower
    three floors will be considered opened, while the others doors will be considered closed.

    I. Opened doors section:


    Pressure difference at the bottom of the section = 20.00 Pa
    Pressure difference at the top of the section = 24.16 Pa
    Flow factor = 3.94 m/s
    Open stairwell flow area = 1.54 m2
    Effective flow area = 0.09 m2
    Flow rate from this section = 1.04 m3/s (= 2204.226 cfm)

    II. Closed doors section:


    Pressure difference at the bottom of the section = 27.51 Pa
    Pressure difference at the top of the section = 36.98 Pa
    Flow factor = 4.76 m/s
    Effective flow area = 0.03 m2
    Flow rate from this section = 0.47 m3/s (= 994.5356 cfm)

    III. Exterior stairwell door:


    Pressure difference at the exterior door
    (~ at 1.5m height) = 23.67 Pa
    Open exterior stairwell door effective flow area = 1.54 m2
    Flow rate from this section = 7.68 m3/s (= 16262.85 cfm)

    The total flow needed to pressurize the stairwell


    at the above conditions is the sum of these three
    separate flows = 1.04 + 0.469369 + 7.675211
    = 9.18 m3/s
    (= 19461.61 cfm)
