APPLICATION OF NUMERICAL SIMULATION FOR RESIDENTIAL ROOM AIR CONDITIONING.

Author(s) : YAMAZAKI K., KOMATSU M., OTSUBO M.

Summary

THE FLOW FIELD GENERATED BY AN AIR CONDITIONER CAN BE CHARACTERIZED BY A BUOYANCY FORCE AND WEAK TURBULENT FLOW. A TWO-EQUATION TURBULENTMODEL FORMING THE EQUATIONS OF LAUNDER AND SPALDING, TOGETHER WITH THE SIMPLE ALGORITHM OF SPALDING, WAS APPLIED. THE AIR TEMPERATURE FROM THE OUTLET OF THE AIR CONDITIONER IS HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE SPACE AIR TEMPERATURE. THE BUOYANCY FORCE OF THE AIRFLOW FROM AN AIR CONDITIONER HAS A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN AIR TEMPERATURE AND FLOW DISTRIBUTION, SO THIS FORCE WAS ANALYZED IN PARTICULAR DETAIL.
