Comparative analysis of heating systems used in Orthodox churches

[摘要] This work displays a numerical examination of the improvement of indoor atmosphere conditions inside an Orthodox church of Iasi. The objective consists in proposing a solution for reducing the risk of condensation for the case of the real heating system with hot air, used in Three Holy Hierarchs Monastery of Iasi. The solution was to use the local ventilation at towers, that generates air flow in these zones and evacuate humidity. This configuration was tested numerically and the results highlighted its effects. For comparison, the local ventilation was studied for two other heating solutions that are largely used in this type of buildings, underfloor heating and static heaters. The simulations demonstrated that the local ventilation represents a suitable solution when it is combined with the hot air heating.
