Effects of air discharge modes on airflow organization and temperature uniformity inside automated high-bay cold store
A study using CFD modeling evaluates how air discharge modes affect temperature uniformity and energy efficiency in high-bay cold storage facilities. The research concludes that downward air discharge significantly improves thermal distribution and reduces energy consumption compared to horizontal discharge.
Why it matters
Optimizing airflow in large-scale cold storage is critical for reducing energy costs and preventing food or pharmaceutical spoilage in industrial supply chains.
