CFD Simulation of Energy-Saving Airflow Organization in a Multifunctional Kitchen

Keywords: Ventilation system; Air-conditioning system; Multifunctional kitchen; Airpak3.1 Abstract. Efficient ventilation and sound air current are significant to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and control the contamination concentration. Healthy and comfort air-conditioning will provide a strong guarantee for high-performance work. While limited by lots of conditions, the airflow distribution in room is very difficult to be revealed, so numerical simulation and analysis for airflow organization become more and more important during the design stage of ventilation and air-conditioning system. In this paper a multifunctional kitchen is taken as a model to do simulation analysis on the effect of heat source. On the basis of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) theory and methodology, the temperature fields and velocity fields are obtained by means of Airpak3.1. All these search works will be helpful for the further design and optimization for the ventilation and air-conditioning system. Finally it will realize the ultimate goal of energy saving and emission reduction.
