Abstract

In zones separated by doors with many entrances and exits, it is crucial in terms of energy consumption to protect the conditioned air in the indoor environment from the effects of outside air. The increase in door dimensions and opening frequency make this effect even more evident. Various methods are used to prevent leakage of outside air into the indoor environment. In this study, we investigated the effects of using air curtains on energy consumption during the cooling season in a factory building. The door width and height in this building, which has a high story height, were also large. These 26 doors must remain open all the time because of the production process. With a transient model developed on Transient System Simulation Tool (TRNSYS) coupled with Contaminant Transport Analysis Software (CONTAM), we showed the effects of using the air curtains in different climate conditions. As a result, we demonstrated that using air curtains will provide great savings, especially in cities with high cooling requirements.
不同气候条件下空气幕对制冷季能耗的影响
在有许多出入口的门分隔的区域中,保护室内环境中的空调空气不受外部空气的影响是至关重要的。门的尺寸和开启频率的增加使这种效果更加明显。各种方法被用来防止外部空气泄漏到室内环境中。在本研究中,我们调查了在冷却季节使用空气幕对工厂建筑能耗的影响。这幢楼层高高,门的宽度和高度也很大。由于生产过程的关系,这26扇门必须一直开着。利用瞬态系统仿真工具(TRNSYS)和污染物输运分析软件(CONTAM)开发的瞬态模型,我们展示了在不同气候条件下使用空气幕的效果。因此,我们证明了使用空气幕将节省大量费用,特别是在对冷却要求很高的城市。
