Application of infrared thermography measurements in thermal diagnostics of the swimming pool

Abstract

At the stage of designing a ventilation system for a swimming pool, it is difficult to predict with full conviction what thermal and humidity conditions will prevail in the actual facility and what will be the impact of ventilation on its real energy performance. Often it is only during the operation of the swimming pool that a full assessment of its proper functioning takes place. Various research methods can be helpful in this regard: experimental, analytical and simulation methods, using engineering computer software or numerical calculations CFD. This paper presents thermal imaging research carried out in a real swimming pool, which is a part of experimental research carried out in this facility to evaluate the thermal, humidity and flow conditions and provide data for numerical simulations CFD and their validation. The results of research carried out with other measurement methods were presented in the paper [3].
