What we offer

We are a house of ideas and we work as an independent

external development department with focus.

CAEDTECH offers Design of Car Park ventilation and

CFD solutions for Underground car park including fan

placements, effective airflow studies, CO contaminant

removal, fire safety studies and effective smoke clearance

analysis.

In addition ,we provide CAD/CFD/CAE services for

Aerospace and Automotive industries.

 What is CFD?
 Computational Fluid Dynamics or CFD is
predicting what will happen, quantitatively, in the
analysis of systems involving fluid flow, heat transfer
and associated phenomena such as chemical reactions
by means of computer based simulations.

 The technique is very powerful and spreads a wide

range of industrial and non industrial applications.

Contaminant/species simulations
Industrial ventilation design
External building flows
Fire and smoke management
Educational facilities
Libraries
Classrooms
Enclosed vehicular facilities and so on.

 Underground Car Park

Underground Garage Systems or Car Park are an

innovative idea that provide a unique underground
parking solution.
This car parking system doubles vehicle storage
potential by utilizing space that we already have.
It also adds an extra layer of protection for vehicles
which can potentially lower our insurance premiums.
Underground parking systems are a convenient and
cost effective way.
 This may be an ideal solution for a listed building
or where building restrictions are a problem.

7
Why ventilation is necessary?

 Ventilating (the V in HVAC) is the process of

"changing" or replacing air in any space to provide

high indoor air quality.
 Car Parking area in Basements are fully

Enclosed or underground nowadays.

 So ,to remove vehicle exhaust fumes, mainly

carbon monoxide, during normal car park usage

creating and acceptably conditioned environment.
 To remove the smoke in the event of a fire to

assist in providing a safe means of escape.

8
 Role of CFD in Basement Ventilation

 Car park ventilation is achieved using jet thrust fans has

been replacing the more traditional method of ducted ventilation
It provides more efficient and cost effective ventilation of
enclosed and underground car parks.
These type of ventilation through jet fans is called Impulse
Ventilation .
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis, is utilized to
decide the location of jet fans and number of fans required for
effective and optimum performance in case of both in normal
and emergency (Fire Scenario) conditions.

 Car Park Ventilation System Design

CAED TECH offers complete design for car park ventilation system. Our services are as

follows.

1. Best Location of Fresh & Exhaust air shaft along with its sizes to maintain proper velocity

all over basement.

2. Selection and Quantify of main Exhaust air & Fresh air supply Axial Flow Fan.

3. Selection and Quantify of Jet Fan.

4. Quantify and located the Electrical Panel to reduce the Electrical accessories like power

& control Cable, Cable Tray, Conduit, Earth wire etc.

5. Estimations of above Electrical accessories.

6. Technical Specification of main equipments.

7. Bill of Quantity (BOQ) of CPV System.

8. Budgetary Cost of CPV System.

9. Drawings of CPV System.

 Fresh & Exhaust air shaft sectional details along with Axial fan mounting

arrangement and Suction & discharge Louver sizes.

 Typical Jet Fan mounting arrangement.

 Cable Tray layout drawing.

10. Login of operation for enter CPV system.

 Airflow Analysis
 Airflow analysis is done to ensure the
optimum number of fans and its
locations ,so that there is no stagnation
inside the car park.

 Carbon monoxide (CO) Analysis

 Carbon monoxide simulation is

done to ensure the event of a CO
high level (>100 PPM [Parts Per
Million] ) is avoided at short term
exposure of 30 minutes.

 Fire Case Scenario

This is a post fire smoke management

system, thus in the event of fire, there is
a clear view of over 30m from any
corner of the car park to the nearest
means of escape point within 45
minutes, after the fire starts.

From Airflow, CO and Fire

conditions, we can conclude whether the
ventilation system provided is effective
or not.
