CFD modelling of indoor environment quality affected by gas stoves.

Author(s) : KAJTÁR L., LEITNER A.

Summary

Gaseous emission (CO2, NO, and NOx) of a gas stove has a significant and harmful effect on indoor air quality (IAQ) in residential kitchens. To avoid increasing health risk, it is essential to use mechanical ventilation such as kitchen hood. However, according former laboratory studies, extract air flow generated by typical hoods is not adequate to achieve required IAQ. Thus, there is an increasing need to develop a new kitchen ventilation system and to estimate the required exhaust ventilation rate. In order to describe required ventilation of kitchens, emission of gas stoves has been investigated for years at the Department of Building Service Engineering, BUTE. Laboratory and field studies were carried out, afterwards, based on the results, pollutant distribution was described by CFD simulation (FLOVENT). In this paper, an overview of method and results of CFD modelling is published.
