Numerical modeling of termal transfer through a refrigeration room wall - thermal bridge phenomenon highlighting

The CFD simulations play an important role in heat transfer processes field, enabling heat transfer mechanism the analysis through conduction, convection and/or radiation, identifying critical points in thermal insulation systems, predicting the evolution of certain parameters in systems where heat transfer processes occur, optimizing the heat transfer system design, and improving their energy efficiency. Among the systems based on thermal transfer phenomena, the refrigeration systems require some of the highest energy consumption. Therefore, one of the most effective methods for these systemțs cost reducing is ensuring an optimal thermal insulation for the walls. CFD simulations can became a very useful tool in cold room parameters evaluation, such thenperature and humidity, as well as for critical areas identifying, where thermal bridges may occur, with results in uncontrolled thermal flows
