Analysis of the thermal microclimate of the hospital bedroom using CFD simulation

conference paper

English

The article presents a modern analysis of the thermal microclimate of the inner space of hospital bed rooms. These spaces and their internal environment are an important factor in the recovery of patients. Modern heating and air-conditioning systems allow many approaches to create an indoor microclimate of enclosed spaces. In the article, three selected bed rooms are judged by modern methods[1]. Each room with its layout and transparent glazing area, including furnishing, is oriented to the other world side. The floor heating and cooling system is common to all rooms. For a detailed examination of the effect of floor heating and cooling on the dynamics of thermal internal and external loads or losses, a mathematical model is created for the summer and winter extreme boundary conditions of the calculation. The solution of air temperature distribution and air flow in rooms is simulated by CFD software called Star CCM +. At the end of the article, the variants are then compared and the suitability of the heating / cooling system for the premises is assessed. The aim of the article is to prove that the chosen method of predicting the thermal behavior of the rooms allows us to find very precise results, which can be used to assess the quality of the proposed heating and cooling system.
