CFD analysis of the ventilation heating system

Abstract

Air conditioning is a significant part of the contemporary life. A lot of the medical papers confirmed the influence of the thermal comfort to the operability. The aim of the article is to understand the system of the building ventilation with the HRV unit. For this purpose, the CFD simulation model was elaborated. The ANSYS Fluent allows to calculate the heat balance of the room with secondary thermal gains like computers, monitors and humans. The results of the simulation approved that in the modern thermal passive houses heat balance calculations should take into account secondary thermal gains from the installed equipment. Also the air circulation in the closed area and the influence of the different barriers installed in the laboratory were investigated.
