(Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning & Refrigeration)
Using CFD, fluid flows can be simulated and HVAC/R performance can be analyzed without actually installing the HVAC/R system or building its prototype. Hence, crucial problems can be identified and solutions can be devised to enhance the HVAC/R performance within a building or outdoors.
Examples of CFD applications for HVAC/R systems are the following:
• Home, office and classroom ventilation
• Industrial ventilation
• External building flows
• Ventilation of medical facilities
• Swimming pool ventilation
• Animal and plant environments
• Clean rooms
• Human comfort inside cars
• Design of air conditioners
• Monitoring contamination in chemical labs
• Ventilation of shopping centers, airports, stadiums,
rail and bus stations, concert halls and other places of people assembly
