Abstract
Analysis of the configuration of central air conditioners for the maintenance of library storage in the city of Tyumen
Incoming article date: 01.11.2024In this article, the authors consider the main aspects of maintaining the temperature and relative humidity of the premises of library collections and archive repositories using specialized engineering equipment. The preservation and preservation of material assets is designated as one of the priority tasks of preserving the cultural heritage of Russia. Conservation includes all types of activities and engineering support to guarantee the physical safety of any objects intended for long-term storage, such as library and museum. Currently, both the national program for the preservation of cultural values and the strategy for the development of librarianship have been adopted, including engineering methods for maintaining microclimate parameters for storage facilities and archives of various types: library, museum and federal purposes. Previously, the authors studied the reports provided on the preservation of library collections in Russia and abroad. It has been revealed that in a significant number of cases, the conditions for the preservation of both paper and other funds intended for storage and use as necessary to work with them are not provided. The authors conducted a study and analyzed changes in microclimate parameters when using central air conditioners of various configurations serving two separate sections of one library storage, which is a single-tier room type. The disadvantages of using a simplified basic modification of the central air conditioner based on the results of temperature and relative humidity control in each of the rooms, performed daily from January to June 2022, were confirmed. Variants of changing the configuration of engineering equipment with insufficient functionality with a limited area of the ventilation chamber are proposed.
