CFD Based Study of Hydraulic Performance of an Air-Conditioning Drainage Pump

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper introduces a minor drainage pump used in air-conditioning system. The numerical simulation has been done to analyze the internal flow field and sound pressure level in drainage pump. FlUENT is used in this paper. And LES (Large Eddy Simulation) is taken to catch the pressure fluctuation in this flow passage. CFD results show that pressure fluctuation is the main sound source in the pump.
