MODIFIED T-5 BARRACKS CONTROLLED CLIMATIC HEATING STUDIES

Abstract

In an effort to improve personnel comfort, heat-loss studies of the Modified T-5 Barracks, developed for polar use, were conducted and two experimental heating systems were designed, fabricated, and tested. One, is a hot-air floor plenum heating system providing both radiant and convection heating. The other is a complete air-conditioning system incorporating heating, humidification, and fresh-air ventilation. This system was designed for a packaged temporary polar camp developed. This report presents the results of the heat-loss study and the evaluation of the two heating systems.
