Wind Study focusing on Chiller Recirculation
NEWFOUNDLAND TOWER
CHILLER ANALYSIS
Ensuring a systems of any size performs effectively is always a key component of a project. With Newfoundland Tower, the space constraints and architectural design required analysis of the chillers on the roof of the 60 storey building to ensure that recirculation and heat build up was limited
COMMERCIAL
TALL BUILDING CHILLER ANALYSIS
With buildings becoming taller and the space for services being restrictive, the need to analysis the performance of roof top plant equipment under varying wind conditions has vital importance to ensure effect use of chillers and other equipment at high level.
Detailed Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modelling is was required to model the wind flow through the architecturally designed facade and to evaluate the performance of the chillers during these conditions.
DETAILED MODEL OF PLANT AREAS
A focus of the performance of the chillers on the roof top of the Newfoundland development led to a detailed model of the facade with gradient of perforated holes, along with walkways and other pipework that are located at the high level.
Through modelling at a high detail how the air flow would pass through the facade as well as through the other building elements, the analysis could evaluated o f recirculation occurred and where heat was increasing around the plant area.
ARCHITECTURAL
DESIGN INTENT
With buildings becoming taller and the space for services being restrictive, the need to analysis the performance of roof top plant equipment under varying wind conditions has vital importance to ensure effect use of chillers and other equipment at high level.
Detailed Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modelling is rehired to firstly model the wind flow through the architecturally designed facade and barriers, and then to evaluate the perofamnce of the chillers during these conditions.
