Experimental study on the optimization of thermal environment and airflow organization in a ventilated underground refuge chamber using deflectors

Acceptable temperature is crucial for underground refuge chamber (URC) to ensure the safety and comfort of occupants. A novel temperature control scheme combining mechanical ventilation with deflectors was proposed for URCs. In this study, the effects of ventilation rate (VR), deflector height and d...
