Abstract: (37 Views) |
In this article, using traditional and unnecessary methods, the energy consumption in ventilation and cooling of the building has been numerically analyzed. By considering a model of the wind deflector, the influence of effective parameters on the performance of the wind deflector has been investigated and the results have been presented. Two general cases were considered, one of the models included a heat absorbent surface (corresponding to the pond or wet surfaces in traditional wind deflectors) and the other was simple. In this research, it was observed that increasing the height of the wind deflector has improved its performance and also the wind speed has a positive role in the efficiency of the wind deflector. Also, the presence of a heat absorbing surface reduced the internal temperature to a greater extent than in the normal case. From the modeling carried out in this research, it was found that the presence of wind deflectors can reduce the temperature inside the residential house by 11 degrees and also the amount of air conditioning inside the building can be significantly improved. |
