Numerical investigation of non-spherical particle deposition characteristics on filter media

Severely cold weather reduces the willingness of residents to open windows while cooking. This results in an insufficient replenishment of makeup air and a reduction in the range hood discharge capacity. For an effective trade-off between indoor air temperature maintenance and air quality aggravation in winter, a new makeup air supply method (ceiling makeup air) was proposed and established both experimentally and numerically. The improvements in the kitchen air environment during cooking were studied through experimental tests and CFD simulations, considering different makeup air arrangements. The results reveal that the ceiling makeup air scheme can significantly reduce the concentration of PM2.5 compared with the cracks makeup air scheme (wherein the kitchen window and door are closed). Moreover, it increased the indoor temperature by over 11.9 °C compared with the open window makeup air scheme. The average relative error between the experimental and simulated data was within 6.1%. Among the considered factors, the size of the air inlet had the largest impact. This was followed by the layout, size, and shape of the ceiling inlets. The ceiling makeup air scheme demonstrated the potential for improving residential kitchen air environments in severely cold regions.
