Heat Exchangers

A good understanding of the thermal behavior of AEC, Data Center, and other architectural applications is essential for protecting expensive electronic components and data. Such an understanding promotes system sustainability and ensures human thermal comfort.

Heat exchangers and air conditioners are common elements in these systems, and play a significant role in their thermal management. Proper simulation of both is essential for optimizing thermal behavior.

The Heat Exchanger material device addresses this need. The Heat Exchanger device simulates several different heat exchanger devices commonly found in AEC, Data Center, and other architectural applications:

  • Heater or a chiller devices in HVAC, AEC, and architectural environments
  • Computer Room Air Conditioner (CRAC) units
  • Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH)
  • Computer Air Conditioner (CAC)
  • Air to Air coolers
  • Liquid Coolers
  • Air Conditioners
  • Humidifiers - both steam and adiabatic
  • Thermal wheel or rotary heat exchangers
  • Dehumidifiers

The device represents the physics on simple geometry, thereby reducing the complexity of the model.
