Conduit-free ventilation in the power plant rooms of the "Yastreb" 11540 Project guard ships
The efficient ventilation of ship power plant rooms is the important issue. To address the issue, it is expedient to switch over from the traditional conduit system of ventilation to conduit-free, bulk ventilation system. The latter practically eliminates the vortex (dead-air) spaces, with reduced aerodynamic noise and power input of ventilators. It is suggested to use the swirling air flows in such a ventilation system. Their efficiency has been proved by the results of experiments introduced by the author.
