Figure 6.27 Comparison of specific humidity in the chamber and the mask under normal breathing and pressure setting at 4 cmH2O 6.3.4.4 Effect of mask capacity on specific humidity in the mask and in inhaled air The model is set under conditions as listed below. The conditions are all the same except the breath load and mask capacity. Conditions Pressure setting Tube heating Ambient temperature 172 Ambient relative humidity Heating element setting Value 4 cmH2O 0 W 22°C 50% 55°C Table 6.5 shows that the mask capacity does not have an influence on average specific humidity in the mask and in inhaled air.
Table 6.5 Comparison of average specific humidity in the mask and in inhaled air using different size of masks with normal breathing 6.4 Conclusions Normal breathing Deep breathing Mask type Average Nasal Full face Nasal Full face specific humidity in the mask Average 0.0266 0.0266 0.0255 0.0255 specific humidity in inhaled air 0.0214 0.0214 0.0191 0.0191 Based on the discussion above, conclusions are drawn and listed below for the fluid dynamic study and the thermodynamic study. 6.4.1 Conclusion for fluid dynamic study 1. Mask capacity does not influence reverse flow. 2. Reverse flow increases along with the breath load. Reverse flow also increases when the pressure setting decreases. Overall, the combination of the CPAP pressure setting and the breath load determines the reverse flow. 3. Reverse flow does not definitely add exhaled air to the next inhalation unless the reverse flow is too far back in the HADT. This may occur only when the pressure setting is at the lowest and the breath load is unusually large. 4. When there is no exhaled air added in from reverse flow, re-inhalation of exhaled air is proportional to mask capacity. 5. When there is no exhaled air added in from reverse flow, the percentage of exhaled air in inhalation drops along with the increase of breath load. 6.4.2 Conclusion for thermodynamic study The conclusions drawn for the steady state flow are: 1. The main factor influencing the chamber water temperature is the heating element temperature. 173
