Optimization of Multi-Stack Exhaust Systems - New System Design Application
Abstract
Both analytical and numerical optimization
methods have been developed to optimize multi-stack
exhaust systems for application in new system
designs. In these systems the combined airflow
capacity of the stacks equals the maximum laboratory
exhaust airflow. The theoretical analysis indicates
that the optimized design uses as little as 50% of the
design fan power annually. This paper presents the
system models, the optimization methods, and
describes appropriate applications.
