OSTI ID:6698882
A computer code, TVENT, for predicting tornado-induced depressurization in air cleaning systems is described. TVENT easily fits on many computers with input/output formats that are familiar to most analysts and HVAC designers. Applications of TVENT to several nuclear facilities in Idaho, New York, and New Mexico are described. Flow-resistance data of HEPA filters for use in TVENT are also described. At low flow resistance appears to be mainly caused by a diffusion mechanism, while at high flow the resistance seems to be caused by the mechanism of momentum exchange.
