1 3 rd HVAC Contracting Conference Evolution of HVAC Industry International Hotel Doha The City November 25-26, 2018 IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF AN AC UNIT USING CFD F. Moualled Mechanical Engineering Department American University of Beirut 1
2 Objectives The objectives of this presentation are: To present a numerical model developed for predicting the performance of AC equipment. To use the model for analyzing the performance of a 10-ton Rooftop Unit. To chec the practicability of using CFD to complement experimental wor and to help optimizing the performance of AC equipment. 2
3 Schematic of the AC Unit 3
4 Unit Description and Refrigeration Cycle The nominal refrigeration capacity of the unit is 10 tons of which 7 tons are sensible. The volume flow rate is 4000 cfm with a fan speed of 770 rpm. The volume flow rate in the condenser is 7200 cfm with a fan speed of 1090 rpm. 4
5 Modeling of the Unit The unit is divided into two compartments with no air communication between them: The evaporator section: The surface temperature of the evaporator being lower than the air dew point temperature causes condensation of its moisture. Due to condensation, the air flow side in the evaporator is modeled as a two-phase flow. The condenser section :The air flow side in the condenser is modeled as a single phase flow. Communication between these two compartments occurs at the refrigerant level. 5
6 Governing Equations The conservation equations governing the flow, heat, and mass transfer fields in the unit are: Conservation of mass Conservation of momentum Conservation of energy Conservation of vapor mass fraction Conservation of liquid volume fraction Turbulence model (Realizable -e) 6

Fresh and Return air inlets Modeled as velocity inlets with a uniform normal velocity of value 3.99 m/s and a temperature of 300 K. Outlet Modeled as a pressure outlet with temperature of K and gauge pressure of 37Pascal. Motor wall Modeled as a source of heat flux where it is defined as wall with flux of 888 W/m 2. Walls No slip condition is assumed where the velocity at the walls is taen to be zero. 12

24 Results The calculated total heat transfer rate of the condenser coil is found to be 44,119.5 W while the calculated value based on the experimental data provided is 44,120.1 W with the percent difference between the two values being %. 24
25 CONCLUSIONS Based on the computations performed for the suggested designs the following conclusions were drawn: (i) Decreasing the inclination angle increases the cooling capacity at the expense of increasing the air velocity; (ii) Bacward inclination of the cooling coil reduces its cooling capacity; (iii) Increasing the number of fins per unit length increases the cooling capacity; (iv) The best improvement in performance is obtained with decreasing the inclination angle and increasing the number of fins per unit length; (v) The rate of increase in cooling capacity is affected more by the number of fins than by the inclination angle. Based on the results obtained in this study it can be safely stated that CFD will be a viable tool in the design of AC equipment. Finally, it should be mentioned that the above findings remain an open question for the industry to confirm. 25
