SECTORS

Industrial Ventilation & HVAC

At Slidian, we specialize in CFD simulation analysis of industrial ventilation and HVAC systems in environments such as production facilities, machinery rooms, tunnels, and any enclosed space where precise air control is essential. 

Using advanced numerical simulations, we evaluate airflow behavior under real operating conditions, enabling detailed analysis of key aspects such as: 

  • Air distribution and renewal throughout the facility  
  • Thermal stratification and temperature gradients 
  • Supply and exhaust system efficiency  
  • Identification of dead zones and recirculation areas 
  • Thermal comfort and safe working conditions  

These studies help optimize HVAC system design, improve energy efficiency, and ensure compliance with ventilation and safety regulations.

Ventilation and Climate Control in Enclosed Spaces 

In industrial facilities, equipment, processes, and heat sources can generate thermal accumulation and localized overheating.

At Slidian, we analyze heat dissipation and thermal dispersion within enclosed spaces through CFD simulation, evaluating convective heat transfer and its interaction with ventilation systems. 

Our simulations make it possible to:

  • Obtain detailed temperature fields
  • Detect critical overheating risk areas
  • Evaluate the actual capacity of heat extraction systems
  • Compare different ventilation and HVAC configurations
  • Ensure temperatures remain within design limits

This approach guarantees safe and efficient operation while reducing operational risks and improving energy performance.

Indoor Air Quality

Industrial environments often contain contaminants such as gases, vapors, airborne particles, and process emissions.

Using CFD simulations, we evaluate contaminant dispersion and accumulation within facilities, analyzing transport mechanisms as a function of airflow patterns and operating conditions.

These studies allow us to:

  • Calculate concentration fields throughout the entire volume
  • Identify hazardous accumulation zones
  • Assess the effectiveness of ventilation systems in removing contaminants
  • Design optimal air supply and extraction strategies
  • Verify compliance with air quality and occupational safety regulations

Through these analyses, we help create safer, healthier, and technically optimized industrial environments.

Pressure Loss Analysis and Ventilation System Balancing

Pressure loss analysis is a fundamental aspect of HVAC and ventilation system design and sizing.

At Slidian, we use CFD simulations to calculate pressure losses in ducts, grilles, diffusers, filters, and other system components, considering actual geometry and operating conditions.

These studies allow us to:

  • Determine total system pressure losses
  • Identify components or sections with excessive losses
  • Evaluate the impact of bends, restrictions, and cross-sectional changes
  • Verify whether selected fans and extractors are adequately sized
  • Propose geometric improvements to reduce losses and energy consumption

In addition to analyzing ducts individually, we perform integrated simulations of complete systems, including both the duct network and the ventilated space itself.

This provides a much more realistic assessment of airflow distribution and network balancing by evaluating how flows interact under real operating conditions.
