β¦ Synopsis
The paper describes an investigation of the factors which affected the air change rates in patient rooms and the air transfer between these rooms at a hospital ward unit designed on the "race-track" principle. Tests were conducted with the ward fully air conditioned and partially naturally ventilated. The main factors were isolated and prediction equations in terms of these factors, for the transfer from room to room, are given. The implications of these equations and their possible use in the design of hospital ward ventilation schemes are discussed.

Details are given of a study to obtain experimental data in an idealized environment for the purpose of evaluating the corresponding computational predictions and which supplement parallel measurements made in actual packaged air-conditioning units. The system consisted of a purpose-built low-speed
## Abstract An energy storage system that stores energy in the form of liquid air was studied. In this system, the cool storage unit was the most important unit. From the viewpoint of safety and economy, it was most promising to store the cold energy as the sensitive heat of a solid such as pebbles
