Numerical Investigation of Furniture Arrangement, Airflow Velocity, and Blowing Angle with a Wall-Mounted Air Conditioner

In this study, the cooling of a room using a wall-mounted air conditioner and keeping it under thermal comfort conditions are discussed. Within this scope, a standard office room model cooled by air conditioning was created and numerical analyses were conducted. In the study, four different blowing velocities, three different blowing angles and two different placements of the furniture in the room were investigated. The effects of these parameters on the velocity and temperature distribution of the air in the room, which influences thermal comfort conditions, were examined. As a result of the analysis, it was observed that the change in the blowing velocity of the air conditioner does not have much effect on the overall structure of the flow. However, it was determined that changes in the air conditioner’s blowing angle and the room’s layout significantly affected the velocity and temperature distribution of the air in the room. Within the range of parameters examined, it was observed that the optimum thermal comfort conditions were achieved with furniture Location-I, a blowing velocity of 0.5 m/s, and a blowing angle of 80°.
