Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Boiler models currently in use in building/HVAC plant system simulation programs have a very limited functionality. Standalone models developed via CFD codes are impractical to be useful in a larger simulation environment. The aim of this proposal is to produce a new, enhanced boiler for use in simulation programs which will model the complete boiler/flue system and which will give environmentally-oriented output in the form of NOx and other emissions. This will increase the usefulness of simulation programs as analytical tools, as they will be able to make a positive contribution to environmental impact assessment.The predicted performance figures will be compared to experimental data, particularly that from the testing programme at the University of Liege. It is proposed to incorporate examples of the new models into an existing simulation program and to produce the models in the Neutral Model Format, to optimise their integration into other simulation environments.
