Hangar Destratification Investigation

Abstract

Measurements made in military hangars indicated that stratification, the existence of a layer of hot air in a structure's overhead, is a typical phenomenon. Five destratification concepts (three commercial and two Navy- developed) were evaluated to determine the effectiveness and the adaptability of each concept for hangar applications. Only the Navy-developed concepts were found practical for hangar applications. Destratifier design and application guidelines were developed and are presented in the report.
