Laboratories
Aerosol research laboratory
The department systematically and at the state-of-the-art level builds up facilities for experimental research into
aerosol transport and deposition. It is equipped with up-to-date instrumentation for preparation and experimental
research of liquid and solid particles. The research activities conducted currently at the laboratory include
elucidation of transport of various type particles as well as assessment of their deposition during inhalation into
human airways. The laboratory fundamental component is a test rig for aerosol preparation, its mixing with air and
measurement of flow operating parameters.

Laboratory of local ventilation systems
The Department of Thermodynamics and Environmental Engineering runs a laboratory of ventilation systems that is
fitted with high quality experimental equipment and advanced instrumentation.The laboratory allows to solve a wide
spectrum of problems associated with air flow with the use of advanced optical methods. It is intended and accordingly
equipped for testing of devices that are associated with ventilation of rooms or vehicle cabins. The current research
carried out at the laboratory focuses on car vents development and their measurement in operation; the fundamental
research conducted concerns pipe flow and close-to-wall flow.

Laboratory of thermal comfort
The laboratory or its team deals with the research and development in the field of air-conditioning systems that are
employed to adjust indoor environment quality of vehicle cabins or buildings; it also includes testing the system
effect on thermal comfort. The main demand today is development and design of such air-conditioning systems that
provide optimum thermal comfort at the lowest energy and operating costs.

Solar chimney
The measurement of test solar chimneys began in March 2003. It is obvious from the
design of the experimental device the results of winter measurement or more specifically under conditions of outdoor
temperature much lower than that of the laboratory hall indoor are not much of an interest. Under such conditions, the
main driving force that causes ventilation is buoyancy due to the temperature difference between the hall interior and
exterior, hence the solar chimney acts as a traditional stack ventilation shaft. Neither are the mentioned conditions
interesting from the point of view of a solar chimney, because the traditional stack ventilation is usually capable of
meeting the required air change. In addition, natural ventilation makes it rather difficult to employ any heat recovery
equipment which might constrain its utilisation, and thus solar chimney application, to situations in which ventilation
does not represent an unacceptable heat loss.

Climate chamber
Complex simulations involving a car surrounding environment have become a must for car designers. They account for
the artificial global (solar) radiation along with alternating cycles of climatic load which combine dry and wet cold
according to regional climate apart from the others. Such simulations enable imitation of atmospheric effects that are
closely corresponding to real operational conditions of a cat. The chamber serves for testing of cars as a whole or
just vehicle cabins at particular climatic conditions.

Laboratory of heating
It tests thermal performance of heating bodies and various designs of floor heating. The set-up board contains a
number of control and measuring components operated under a computer control. The computer is also in charge of data
acquisition.
