The use of CFD simulations to optimize ventilation of potrooms
Ventilation in potrooms has always been a hot issue. Well engineered systems to evacuate the surplus of thermal energy from the potrooms are mandatory, and should be given the attention that they deserve. Insufficient ventilation could lead to overheating of pots with the accompanying problems. Simulations can help in optimizing the ventilation and gives better understanding of the behavior of airflows inside the building. Besides the main focus on productivity, attention should be given to the exposure of operators to HF concentration, hazardous dust and high temperatures. A well designed ventilation scheme can help to create a healthy and safe environment for these operators. Airflows outside the building can be investigated with the same simulation technique, providing information about the spreading of contaminated airflows.
