Abstract

A coupled analysis of CFD and HVAC system simulations was carried out to assess the mixing energy loss in an air-conditioned office room where heating and cooling operate in the perimeter and interior zones simultaneously. To evaluate the mixing energy loss, we conducted two simulations; one was the case with the airflow mixing between the perimeter and interior zones and the other was the case without the airflow mixing. By comparing the required coil loads between the cases with and without the airflow mixing, the mixing energy loss was estimated. The accuracy of the coupled analysis was assessed by comparing the results with those from an experiment by Ito (1988).
