Full textThis thesis work has been done in collaboration with Sweco Systems in Eskilstuna, Sweden. The purpose with this work is to investigate the ventilation in a preschool in Eskilstuna. The focus of the work is to analyze the potential energy savings of using a variable air volume system instead of a constant air volume system. An analysis is also made to investigate the economical profitability of three different scenarios. The method used to solve the problem formulation has been through gathering information, in form of scientific journals in the current problem area. Information has also been gathered through an interview and a site visit. Various software has been used in this thesis work for calculations, such as MagiCAD, IDA ICE, Sektionsdata 4.21 and Microsoft Excel. The result shows that the most energy efficient solution is a rotary heat exchanger with variable air volume control in combination with a cross-flow heat exchanger for the kitchen section. However, the most profitable solution from an economical point of view is the same system, but with constant air volume control. Sensitivity analysis shows that for a profitable variable air volume system, either the interest rate has to be lowered from 5 % to 2,56 %, the energy price needs to increase by 2,44 % yearly. Or maintenance cost for the variable air volume system needs to be lowered by 2 164 kr. The conclusion of this thesis work is that energy savings can be done with a variable air volume system. However from an economical point of view, the constant air volume is better than variable air volume for the investigated preschool. The sensitivity analysis shows that small changes are needed to make a variable air volume system profitable. The choice between the systems are influenced by certain factors. A decrease of the attendance than the dimensioned are an advantage for variable air volume systems. This is due to the fact that a constant air volume system ventilates more than needed. A higher specific fan power number are also of great importance in the choice, as more energy consumption by the fans leads to greater energy savings for variable air volume systems.

Full textLarge glazed facades have become common in office buildings and important elements, like windows to obtain natural lighting and ventilation to reduce their energy consumption have been ignored. This dissertation evaluates the potential of energy savings in office buildings through the use of hybrid ventilation strategies in two different Brazilian climatic regions. The method consists in measuring sensors for collecting humidity and temperature data at the time air conditioners are started so as to obtain the setpoint temperature. The results were used in computer simulations of both thermal performance and daylighting through EnergyPlus and Daysim software, respectively. A model of the office building, with efficient lighting (dimmable), was analyzed. Hybrid ventilation strategies were adopted for verifying the influence on energy savings due to a reduced use of artificial air conditioning (in periods in which it was possible). The results show a 30% reduction in the consumption of air conditioning and a 12% impact of hybrid ventilation on the total energy consumption of the building. However, such strategies caused an 84% reduction in the thermal discomfort in the environment. According to the results, the impact of hybrid ventilation on the potential energy savings by the use of efficient daylighting, in some cases, may not be so significant, whereas the reduction in the level of thermal discomfort is quite significant.

Full textNowadays, sealed airtight office buildings and so-called \"glass curtain wall\" are present in many countries, and have as a result a high consumption of electric energy to be able to maintain the environmental comfort of the users. However, the combination of passive and active strategies could improve the energy efficiency in these spaces. This study aims to evaluate the design parameters influence, such as rooms shape, the openings size and orientation, in the energy consumption and in the visual comfort in cellular offices with hybrid ventilation system and the integration of daylight and artificial lighting in São Paulo. The analyzed cellular offices have an average area, different shapes and different openings in one facade, representing the more common architectural characteristics found in this type of building in that context. Energy analyses in EnergyPlus and daylight studies using DIVA-for-Rhino were conducted. It was found that the rooms shape is essential for the determination of the window-to-wall-ratio (WWR) for reducing energy consumption. The results showed that the hybrid ventilation use always represented an economy, reaching reduction values up to 51% in the consumption of air conditioning for cooling and up to 26% in cellular offices total consumption, with a WWR of 40, 70 and 100%. It would be interesting to consider sun shading elements that do not reduce the effectiveness of natural ventilation and daylighting in these environments to combine low power consumption with a lower risk of glare. In this way, the work helps the incorporation of these strategies for save energy in the development of the architectural design of this type of commercial building.

Neste trabalho, foi realizada a simulação do ciclo térmico da Usina Termoelétrica São Jerônimo – UTSJ. A Usina, muito antiga, possui caldeira do tipo grelha. Na mesma Usina foi instalada uma caldeira experimental de leito fluidizado, para funcionar em paralelo com a existente. O trabalho é iniciado com a modelagem de um ciclo de Rankine simples e segue evoluindo até se estabelecer a configuração mais adequada e representativa na tarefa de simular o modo de trabalho da Usina Termelétrica São Jerônimo – UTSJ. Desta forma, foram adotadas as considerações mais convencionais na prática de projeto de centrais termelétricas cujos sistemas térmicos baseiam-se no ciclo de Rankine. As simulações, que se caracterizam pela resolução simultânea das equações que modelam o ciclo e seus componentes, foram efetuadas através de programa IPSE-pro®. As simulações foram aplicadas para a obtenção dos resultados mais importantes na análise de sistemas térmicos, tais como rendimento térmico do ciclo, potência, vazões mássicas do sistema, calor trocado no gerador de vapor e no condensador, entre outros. Por fim, com objetivo de melhorar o rendimento térmico da planta, são apresentadas algumas alternativas ao sistema atual, tais como o aumento de eficiência da caldeira mediante substituição ou a adição de uma caldeira em paralelo à original.
In this work was made the simulation of the thermal cycle of São Jerônimo - UTSJ thermal power plant. The power plant, very old, has a grate boiler. In the same power plant was installed an experimental fluidized bed boiler, workingin parallel with the existing one. The work starts with the modeling of a simple Rankine cycle and evolves up to establish the most suitable and representative configuration to simulate the mode the work of São Jerônimo –UTSJ thermal power plant. Therefore, in this work it was adopted the more conventional considerations in the design practice for thermal power plants whose systems are based on the Rankine cycle. The simulations, which are characterized by the simultaneous solving of equations that model the cycle and its components, were made through the IPSE-pro® software. The simulations were applied to obtain the main results on the analysis of thermal systems such as, thermal efficiency of the cycle, power, system mass flow, heat exchanged in the steam generator and condenser, among others. Finally, in order to improve the thermal efficiency of the plant, some alternatives to the actual system were presented.

Full textOur works focus on the setting of reliable tools able to analyze the interaction between the building envelope and HVAC systems. The developed approach is based on Bond Graphs methodology, a graphical modeling language which is particularly suitable for energy exchanges. A numerical model gathering, under the same simulation environment, sub-models representing the building envelope, the solar gains, the floor heating, the chilled ceiling and the ventilation system, is developed in order to predict the energy interactions between these sub-systems. The multi-zone building model is developed in order to simulate and analyze the overall building thermal behavior. Then, the solar gains model is also included to predict the solar radiation exchanges in a way close to reality. The model of the heating and cooling system, combining the floor heating and the chilled ceiling, is developed in order to improve the thermal comfort of the building. Afterwards, the ventilation system is modeled in order to represent the air exchange inside the building. The experimental validation is carried out on the tri-generation unit integrated with a thermal solar system (platform ENERBAT). Furthermore, the parametrical study was realized in order to gain a better understanding according to the impact of some factors in the energy performance of the single-family building located in Meurthe-et-Moselle region (France). Optimization of several measures, such as insulation of the building envelope, type of glazing, building orientation and ventilation system, is performed to respond to the requirements of the French thermal standard (RT2012)

The design of opening on the envelope of building affects the indoor air quality closely. The inappropriate open will make the people who stay inside for a long time dizzy, headache, sleeping, not attentive, and work ineffectively. The research is to find out the design of open which complies with ventilation trend, i.e. “separate opening model” with above and below ventilative windows. The key points of the research are: 1.The natural ventilation of the thermal buoyancy produced by the heat source from human body in winter. 2.Study the affections of the position and size of opening, and the influence of the position of indoor heat source. 3.In order to consider about the biology environment outdoor, the research also include the affections of airflow through the window screen. The experiment of ventilation in the research adopts the CFD simulation which has been proofed to be reliable in the research of IAQ. The indicators of criticizing the indoor air environment for health are: the concentration of CO2, ACH value and PMV. The controlled causes include the relative position of separate openings, relationship between the size of above and below ventilative windows and the difference of ventilative ability between the people in work area and rest area. The content of the research contains confirming the range of research, analyzing and arranging the document, CFD simulation, analyzing the data and gaining researchful conclusion. The research gets these conclusions by CFD: 1. The ACH of the of separate opening model is more than 36% of it of trandional windows, and 28% of it of rotational windows, which can provide a good project for ventilative opening of bedroom in Taiwan climate. 2. In this research, it has show that the lower opening is more closing to the heat source, the ventilative effect is better. Therefore, in order to get the smallest distance, it is better to make the lower opening be parallel with the heat source (pollution source). 3. In this research, it gets the effect of controlling the ventilation of the thermal buoyancy by changing the distance of heat source. The results have show that as the effect propellent power of thermal buoyancy is worse, the rationality of the opening is more important. 4. Although CFD can not set up propesity of screens, according to some references, the coefficient of airflow through the screen isα; after the experiment, it comes out that α is equal to the amendatory factor of the Value of ACH. The indoor CO2 value can be get by ACH-CO2 regressive formula after getting ACH*.

Taipei located in north part of Taiwan. It is subtropical climate with clear four seasons. The climate in architecture belongs to sub-heat & moist. The average relative humidity more than 80%. The first priority of architectural design in this area is to prevent moist, dew & ventilation. However, the current business building design seldom implement natural ventilation but with air conditioner. It exhaust natural resources of the earth gradually if solely depends on air conditioner. The air will deteriorate below to live standard swiftly when power failure. Taipei is the Capital of Taiwan. It goes without saying that the importance to politics, economic. The movement of Taipei influences the trend of other place in Taiwan. So, the Taipei City Hall not only the central nervous of public works of Taipei City but also demonstrate to society. On economic, reconstruction creates benefit of essence application. On the other hand, the benefit couldn’t be counted as a demonstration to society & environment. The Case study of Taipei City Hall Atrium. To analyze the factor of climate of Taipei including wind velocity, wind direction, temperature & humidity for the latest 10 years to obtain the months that suit natural ventilation.

This thesis utilizes a commercial code, SATR-CD, to simulate the flow field for two subjects. The first one is the flow field inside an exhaust chamber of a scroll compressor, the other is the ventilation flow inside a building of ZPRL (Zero Power Reactor at Lungtan). The computed results of the first part show that the refrigerant from discharge port enters the exhaust chamber, and the center of top cover becomes the high-pressure area due to the main flow direct impingement. After that, it flows out the chamber through the exhaust pipe. If a check valve is placed in the chamber, then, the main stream will directly impinge its top surface, resulting in a high pressure inside the check valve. The stream then flows out the check valve to the exhaust chamber. Not subjected to the flow impingement directly, the pressure of top cover becomes lower and its distribution more uniform. Finally, a successive flow variation history can be observed by an animation by using the transient flow simulation of STAR-CD. In the second part, the simulation results find that there exist many small vortices at corners in the building for its original design. After three additional experimental rooms are set up in the original building, the space of flow path is limited. Therefore, the re-circulation flows are occurred at the corners and wall surfaces along these additional experiment rooms. The velocities of flow are slightly decreased accordingly. The flow velocities in the third floor are found relatively small and its pressure distribution becomes more uniform. Comparing the results obtained from the four case studies, it can be concluded that the arrangement of space has a much greater influence on the flow structure than that of the total ventilation flow rate in the range of 5000 to 10000 cfm.

Full textThe aim of this study is to present simple criteria to evaluate the performances of a transverse ventilation system. Efficiency and yield have been defined, based on the flux of density deficit createdby the fire. After a preliminary study of numerical models, the influence of different parameters on those criteria has been investigated. First, the study focused on the simplified case of a single damper. We showed that the air flow speed in the tunnel is the more important parameter. On the contrary, the shape of the damper has little influence on the efficency, except in unusual cases (slit on the whole width of the tunnel). Then, the study of a longer portion of the tunnel confirmed the prominence of the limitation of air flow speed. Comparison with a case with fewer dampers but the same total extraction section showed that this sensibility to air flow speed tends to disappear for larger dampers, but that the efficiency is lowered. Finally the study of the influence of heavy-goods-vehicules obstructing the tunnel reports better results, due to the fact that big objects tend to confine smokes

Full textHeating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the technology responsible to maintain temperature levels and air quality in buildings to certain standards. In a commercial setting, HVAC systems accounted for more than 50% of the total energy cost of the building in 2013 [13]. New control methods are always being worked on to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the system. These control systems include model predictive control (MPC), evolutionary algorithm (EA), evolutionary programming (EP), and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. Such control tools are used on new HVAC system to ensure the ultimate efficiency and ensure the comfort of occupants. However, there is a need for a system that can monitor the energy performance of the HVAC system and ensure that it is operating in its optimal operation and controlled as expected. In this thesis, an air handling unit (AHU) of an HVAC system was modeled to analyze its performance using real data collected from an operating AHU using a wireless monitoring system. The purpose was to monitor the AHU's performance, analyze its key parameters to identify flaws, and evaluate the energy waste. This system will provide the maintenance personnel to key information to them to act for increasing energy efficiency. The mechanical model was experimentally validated first. Them a baseline operating condition was established. Finally, the system under extreme weather conditions was evaluated. The AHU's subsystem performance, the energy consumption and the potential wastes were monitored and quantified. The developed system was able to constantly monitor the system and report to the maintenance personnel the information they need. I can be used to identify energy savings opportunities due to controls malfunction. Implementation of this system will provide the system's key performance indicators, offer feedback for adjustment of control strategies, and identify the potential savings. To further verify the capabilities of the model, a case study was performed on an air handling unit on campus for a three month monitoring period. According to the mechanical model, a total of 63,455 kWh can be potentially saved on the unit by adjusting controls. In addition the mechanical model was able to identify other energy savings opportunities due to set point changes that may result in a total of 77,141 kWh.
