Modelling the temperature impact of cold plumes
CERC was commissioned to carry out a novel assessment of the impact of plumes of cold air from an array of Air Source heat Pumps (ASHPs) on the surrounding air temperature. In work commissioned by Sustainable Energy Ltd, the CERC consultancy team used ADMS 5 and the dense gas dispersion model GASTAR to carry out dispersion modelling of the plumes of cold air. A single elevated jet, ...
