Research on several issues concerning air conditioning load calculation in barrier environment of experimental animals

Regarding the air conditioning load calculation in the barrier environment of experimental animals, according to current national standards, many targeted design parameters are not clearly defined, which directly affect the air conditioning load calculation and equipment selection of the barrier environment. This paper refers to design guidelines, standards, and relevant literature materials in this field at home and abroad to study outdoor meteorological parameters, indoor temperature and humidity, and the heat and humidity dissipation of experimental animals. It also analyses and explores the issues of reheating load and additional load in the barrier environment, and provides relevant suggestions for air conditioning load calculation one by one for each problem, in order to provide relatively reasonable reference for designers in calculating the air conditioning load of this kind of specialized facilities in the barrier environment of experimental animals.
