1. Thermal Comfort Modelling
Mechartes has worked on complex building and infrastructure projects worldwide, including in the Middle East, optimizing HVAC designs for various facilities for many years. Indoor air quality in a mosque depends on airflow, temperature, and humidity, especially during prayer times.
CFD Consulting analysis helps optimize HVAC systems to maintain proper conditions, reducing energy use. We created a detailed 3D CFD model of a mosque using design drawings and inputs. The HVAC system supplied air through various grilles and diffusers, with return air extracted from low-level grills. Boundary conditions and heat load details were applied.
The simulation showed high-velocity regions causing overcooling with temperatures between 17 °C – 19°C and 68-75% humidity levels. Mechartes recommended reducing airflow rates by 20-25%, achieving the target temperature of 23°C and humidity close to 50%.
Mechartes’ expertise helped avoid overcooling, reducing operating costs and energy consumption. Early CFD analysis optimized the HVAC design, minimizing the size of mechanical systems like chillers and fans.
2. Chiller Yards
Insufficient fresh air intake and poor spacing can negatively impact chiller performance, causing hot air recirculation. Our CFD consulting services helped engineers evaluate and improve chiller performance during design, construction, and operation.
The main goals of the CFD analysis were to determine whether hot air from condenser fan outlets enters the chiller inlets and to analyze the velocity and temperature profiles around the chillers. We have used CFD software, and a detailed 3D model of the Chiller Yard, including all obstructions and equipment, was created.
A CFD wind tunnel was modeled with appropriate boundary conditions for intake and discharge temperature and velocity, considering wind and ambient conditions specific to the project site.
The CFD simulation revealed a significant temperature increase at the chiller inlets, impacting performance. Recirculation calculations showed that 30.5% to 44.6% of air recirculated, raising the inlet air temperature to 52.12°C, higher than the atmospheric temperature of 46°C by up to 6.12°C.
This was due to hot air movement from outlets to inlets. To mitigate this, we have increased louvre openings, adjusted stack height, and added canopies were recommended. Multiple iterations with these modifications showed a significant decrease in recirculation, improving chiller yard performance.
3. Cooling Tower
We at Mechartes used CFD consulting services to optimise a cooling tower’s performance and assess the plume’s impact on nearby buildings. Poor air intake and close spacing between cooling towers can cause hot air recirculation, affecting performance and posing health risks like Legionella to nearby occupants.
CFD analysis evaluates cooling tower performance during design, construction, and operational stages to mitigate these issues. The CFD consultants’ main objectives were to check if hot, humid air from cooling tower outlets re-entered the inlets, assess the velocity, temperature, and humidity profiles around the towers, and assess the plume’s impact on nearby locations.
A detailed 3D model of the cooling tower plant and surroundings was created using CFD software, incorporating obstructions and relevant boundary conditions based on project requirements.
The CFD simulation revealed significant temperature increases at the cooling tower inlets, with 5%-35% air recirculation, leading to higher wet bulb temperatures than the design objective. However, the plume did not travel toward occupant locations and dissipated in the ambient air.
To address the high-temperature discharge issue, our CFD consultants recommended installing stacks at the cooling tower discharge and canopies between the towers, as moving the cooling towers was not feasible. These modifications significantly reduced recirculation and improved cooling tower performance.
4. Outdoor Thermal Comfort
At Mechartes, our CFD consulting services are instrumental in optimizing thermal comfort in outdoor spaces. ASHRAE defines thermal comfort as a mental perception of thermal conditions influenced by environmental and physiological dynamics. With the increased use of outdoor spaces, meeting thermal comfort standards is essential for enhancing user experience.
We have conducted various outdoor thermal comfort studies, including a significant project for a souk street corridor and open area in the Middle East. Our client sought to utilize the souk primarily during evening hours in peak summer, focusing on ventilation and cooling systems to ensure optimal comfort.
Our initial study investigated the potential impact of High-Volume, Low-Speed (HVLS) fan systems. The findings indicated that fan placement had no significant effect on air movement. We then examined the performance of the specifically designed HVAC system, evaluating velocity and Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) values to assess comfort levels.
Our CFD analysis aimed to ensure proper air circulation and maintain UTCI levels under no heat stress and moderate heat stress. We created a detailed 3D CFD model incorporating nearby buildings and elements such as entrance openings, shading, and material properties. The CFD simulation studied velocity and UTCI levels under different wind and ambient conditions.
Our CFD consultants observed no low-velocity regions, but velocities at occupancy heights were higher than desired, and UTCI levels were not met due to ambient air infiltration. To achieve the desired thermal comfort, we recommended design adjustments, including wind barriers and optimizing the cooling system’s location and flow rate. Through our comprehensive CFD consulting, we provided practical solutions to enhance the comfort and usability of the outdoor souk space.
5. Design of Thermal Energy Storage
Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems are designed to store thermal energy when it is more cost-effective or necessary.
