Swamp Cooler Application for Building HVAC, ANSYS Fluent CFD Simulation Tutorial

In this project, the movement of the cooling airflow inside a room applying 3 swamp coolers is investigated using ANSYS Fluent software.

The air inside the room is cooled using 3 swamp coolers and distributed inside the room.

The geometry of this project is designed in ANSYS Design Modeler.

The mesh is carried out in ANSYS Meshing. The mesh type used for this geometry is structured, and the element number is 120250.

The velocity magnitude is 5 m/s, and the airflow temperature from the swamps equals 292 K.

Swamp Methodology

The standard k-epsilon model is exploited to solve turbulent flow equations, and the energy equation is activated to calculate the temperature distribution inside the computational domain. Also, Shell Conduction B.C is used for modeling the inner walls.

Swamp Cooler Application for Building HVAC Conclusion

Contours of pressure, velocity, temperature, etc., are obtained and presented. Temperature reduction is visible while applying swamp coolers for the room air conditioning.
