Calculation for Lift Lobby Pressurisation System (Fire Lift)

Estimation of Air Volume Flowing Past Doors when Doors are Closed
i) Design criteria based on MS1472
ii) Leakage Area Calculation
Based on 50 Pa pressure differential and interpolation of data from Table 3 and 4

Calculation of Air Leakage through Closed Lift Landing Doors (Case D)

Refer to Equation (14) of sub-section 5.3.2.3 of MS1472

Equation : Qd = (Qc x F) / n
where,
Qd is the air leakage from one lobby past one lift door,
Qc is the air leakage for an isolated lift door (value taken from Table 4 or derived from
Qc = 0.0496 x (PE) where PE is the pressurisation level for the lobby,
F is the factor depending on vent size in lift shaft and taken from the appropriate column
 of Table 6 (MS1472)
N is the number of pressurised lobby openings into the lift shaft
Hence, when applied to;

Qc 0.35
F 2.66
n 30
Qd (CMS) 0.03 (assume lift shaft vent size = 0.16 sqr.m)
Qd (CMH) 111.95

Calculation of Total Air Leakage

Total air leakage (A)+(B)+(C )+(D) 9869 (X)

Estimation of Air Leakage through Opened Doors

i) The size of the door is 2.0m (H) x 0.8m (W)

ii) Therefore area of door is 1.60 sqr.m
iii) Based on design criteria of 1 m/s air flow through door when the door is opened,
the air quantity is 5760 CMH (1.60 sqr.m x 1.0 m/s x 60 sec x 60 min)
