HVAC

CFdesign allows you to reliably simulate and optimize the design, placement, and performance of critical components and systems like hydraulics, pneumatics, valves, blowers, fans, pumps, compressors, heatsinks, heat exchangers, cooling fans, power supplies, manifolds, HVAC components, motors, turbomachinery, even entire electronics systems all while on the “digital drawing board”.

CFdesign Solves Tough Problems

  • Design challenges like balancing airflow without increasing pressure loss, noise reduction, and including the detailed effects of blowers, fans, and heat exchangers are easy to answer in a CFdesign analysis.
  • Time can be spent more on making an optimized design rather than worrying about the details of analysis. Design variation can be made quickly in your native CAD system and associatively analyzed in CFdesign
  • System-level blower, choke valves, filter media, and fans make modeling large systems easy and fast
  • Mixing boxes for commercial, residential, automotive, and ECS can be analyzed quickly to gain insight on the different positions of vanes, baffles, etc.

Customer Briefs

Aprilaire introduced the first evaporative flow-through-design humidifiers in 1954 and has been a technology leader ever since. CFdesign is a vital in their never-ending quest to walk the thin line between too much and too little humidity.
Genesys Engineering worked with engineers from Blue Ridge Numerics to deliver an HVAC redesign for the Yale School of Medicine laboratory.
Berner uses CFdesign to assist and accelerate the development of air doors that can stop 30 mpg gusts and work in openings up to 30-ft high. The ability to conduct extensive early stage design reviews prior to the construction of a physical prototype gives Berner engineers the ability to efficiently sort through all the ‘what ifs’ until all product quality and innovation objectives are achieved.
