Abstract

By using CFD analysis and design services in HVAC industry, it’s also reshaping the HVAC performance monitoring. The simulations account for all kinds of factors that influence fluid (refrigerant or air) flows, pressure and temperatures. They help create finely tuned designs even for installations in very confined spaces. CFD considers everything of HVACR from the direction of sunlight throughout the day, to structural materials, to the placement of air vents around furnishings. The goal is to figure out the best circulation solutions for the specific product or project space. Good agreement was found between the simulated results and standard manufacturer data for all three types of compressors studied in this research. To the best of the author’s knowledge these novel approach for CFD analysis of all air-cooled HVAC chiller compressors are absent in HVAC or fluid mechanics literature due to its assessment complexity.
