C-34 Environmental Control Method in Closed Plant Factory : Part. 2 Reproducing Calculation of Indoor Environment in Condition without Plants

Abstract

This paper deals with a simulation model that predicts detailed indoor environment such as air temperature and airflow distributions in a closed plant factory that produces high-functional materials utilizing genetically modified plants. As the first step, air temperature and airflow distributions in condition without plants were calculated by CFD and calculated results were compared with measured results. The results of the comparisons demonstrate that the calculated air temperature and airflow distributions agree well with the measured results.
