Advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) were used during the design of the CBEX Dryback Elite to optimize the integration of core competencies, including the burner, controls, and heat recovery.
While CFD is used across the construction industry for analysis and design optimization of an HVAC system, some organizations and individuals have been slow to fully utilize it within their practices, citing restrictions such as cost, unreliability, and inaccessibility. In this article, we examine some of the key advantages for its use and assess how current CFD tools are addressing such concerns.
