Instalação de um sistema de ventilação e ar condicionado de uma sala de controle em uma refinaria de petróleo

Abstract

Ventilation installation and air-conditioning systems in public and collective places are highly important to guarantee simultaneously the parameters control that determine the thermal comfort of the occupants. In addition to ensuring the thermal comfort, the perfect functioning of this type of system will provide levels of air quality and purity within acceptable standarts, eliminating or minimizing the spread of deseases that might affect the human health. In Brazil there are norms and laws that define the installation criteria for air-conditioning systems. In this work, a study was carried out based on the current Brazilian standards that rule the installation of these systems, to evaluate whether the normative requirements were met in order to ensure the appropriate parameters of thermal comfort and air quality. Thus, this research aims to evaluate whether the installation of a ventilation and air conditioning system in a control room of an oil refinery presents the expected performance for which it was designed.
