CFD for HVAC

3D CFD SIMULATION FOR HVAC-R PROJECT quality analysis (HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING AND REFRIGERATION).

Visualization of air diffusion streamlines in front of the racks of a datacenter, identifying great potential for improvement of the HVAC system design. 3D CFD analysis performed using the software Simcenter STAR-CCM+.

Why hire CFD service?

Test your project under extreme conditions without a physical prototype.

Unveil the problems of intuition.

Modify a virtual prototype (faster and cheaper than a real prototype).

Get to the best configuration faster.

AVOID THE COSTS OF INEFFICIENCY IN THE DESIGN PROCESS AND DURING OPERATION.

.

Visualizing…

  • The average pattern of airflow temperature field;
  • The average pattern of airflow velocities and directions;
  • Regions of potentially excessive airflow velocities, with impaired thermal comfort;
  • Regions of potentially ineffective air renewal, with recirculation pockets;
  • Smoke propagation and pollutant dispersion;
  • Pressure drop inside the ducts and sources of aeroacoustic noise;

    • Geometry | Angle of deflectors

.

Ensuring…

  • Thermal comfort for occupants;
  • Effectiveness of the air renewal;
  • Compliance with ASHRAE regulations;
  • Greater energy efficiency (cost reduction);
  • Control of indoor air quality;
  • Design of sustainable buildings;
  • Best LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design);
  • Calibration of 1D and 2D engineering heat load models.

.

WHY HIRE CFD SERVICE?

  • For isolated projects;
  • For significantly complex problems;
  • When the in-house engineering team doesn’t have the time to learn CFD concepts and software handling, opposed to the in-depth knowledge of the engineering consultant, which is able to intuitively assess the accuracy of simulation results, spot potential errors and deliver reliable diagnostics.
  • A fresh look at the design can lead to new insights unexpected by the in-house engineering team;
  • Take your product design and validation process to the next level.
