Aerodynamic effectiveness of positioning methods for conventional positive pressure ventilators operating in variable configurations
The effectiveness of mechanical tactical ventilation during rescue and firefighting operations can be improved by multiplying the number of positive pressure ventilators. Such action can shorten the time of the operation, improve its execution, and reduce the energy consumed by the ventilators used during the operation. In order to determine the proper conditions for the two ventilators to work together, tests were conducted on their positioning relative to the doorway. These values were determined from the flow parameters (flow rate and static overpressure generated). A set of conventional rotor ventilators (each with an output of 4.4 kW) was tested. The article performs an analysis of the magnitude of flow parameters depending on the setting of the positive pressure ventilator. Proper positioning of the set of ventilators can increase the flow rate through the facility by up to 32% and the pressure by 50%. The analysis conducted in the article can be used as recommendations for rescue teams for the proper selection of the setting of the positive pressure ventilator during firefighting operations of internal fires.

Influence of the Positive Pressure Ventilator Setting Distance in Front of the Doorway on the Effectiveness of Tactical Mechanical Ventilation in a Multistory Building
Proper positioning of the positive pressure ventilator is an important aspect of conducting rescue operations. The purpose of this article was to determine the effect of the parameter of the distance of setting up a mobile fan (distance from 1 to 7 m) on the efficiency of implemented ventilation in a multistory building. The volumetric airflow rate was determined by measuring the flow velocity at 120 measurement points on the surface of the window opening (which served as the measurement plane) of a four-story building. Two positive pressure ventilators were tested (one was a conventional fan and the second a turbo type). The obtained volumetric airflow values ranged from 8591 to 15,656 m3/h, depending on the type of unit and positioning distance, respectively. The analysis performed in the article showed that the general guidelines for the distance of mobile fan positioning that are present in the literature may be inaccurate and outdated.
