The building render of the entrances to the office and apartments as well as the entertainment venues .
manufacturer ’ s restrictions on the equipment . On the 7 th floor and every subsequent second floor , there are plant rooms for the outdoor units .
However , these plant rooms have size limitations . Therefore , a request for a Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD ) analysis was sent to the Samsung Head Office in Korea in order to determine if the outdoor units would be able to operate , within these restrictions , inside these plant rooms .
The area of the plant room , as well as its layout and the positions of the condensing units were required in order to perform the CFD analysis . As shown in the layout modelling image on page 29 , case 1 was rejected due to the recirculation of hot air caused by the position of the condensers . It was then advised to reposition the condensing units , as per Case 2 , as this simulation was successful . RACA
