Simulation Analysis:

Simulations with Solidworks® 2016 were used to compare the AirBoss design to a conventional design.  The design parameters are shown below in Figure 7.

Figure 7. Design Parameters.

Both systems were modeled with 66,000 CFM and 58° off the evap.  The conventional system had the following equipment shown along with the performance in Table 1.  The performance of each unit was interpolated from the performance tables in Appendix A from the AirBoss presentation. 

Table 1. Conventional system equipment list and performance.

From the Table 1, it should be noted, the 25 ton unit is running at 300CFM/ton and the 20 ton unit is running at 320 CFM/ton to achieve proper performance with the entering air conditions.   Using the simulation software, the conventional system was able to cool the space to 75° in 14 minutes. The entering air temperature at the return of the unit remained between 83°-84° and is shown in Figure 8.  The simulation video is labeled as 4way84.avi.
