APPLICATION OF COMPUTER FLUID DYNAMICS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT: A REVIEW OF RESEARCH WORK DONE

Air-conditioning systems have been used in many parts of the world. Computer fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is a recent achievement of CAE technology that is finding growing application in the air conditioning field to enable such concurrent development to be performed through simulation. People spend 8 0-90% of their time indoors, and indoor environment has important effects on human health and work efficiency. Outstanding air-conditioning systems help to improve indoor air environment. The new-style air supply modes either possess prominent potential of energy saving or can provide a comfortable and healthy indoor air environment or both of them. Therefore, it could be concluded that comfort, health and energy saving are recent research topics and the direction of air conditioning in the future.
