CFD Simulation of Capillary Network Radiation Heating Comfort

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the effect on indoor thermal comfort when capillary network radiation heating is in diffrent locations, and make capillary network apply to civil construction in the best location. According to the Airpak software,we perform a bedroom thermal environment CFD simulation when capillary network is in three different locations, from which,we get the temperature field, the velocity field and the PMV images. Come to a conclusion,when the capillary network laying on the floor, the temperature distribution is most uniform, the human body comfort is best; when laying on the wall, the heat transfer performance is the best, and get a highest temperature;when laying on the ceiling, the temperature gradient in vertical direction is 0.37 °C /m,the temperature of upside is warmer than downside .
