Abstract

The selection of water temperature regulation equipment plays a crucial role in the design of workshops. At present, the choice of water temperature control equipment is usually based on the volume of the fish pond and thermal parameter calculation, combined with aquaculture experience. Empirical formulas only work in specific conditions due to factors like the environment, climate, and fish types,resulting in inaccurate equipment selection outcomes. Recognizing this limitation, this paper proposes to apply CFD simulation of the temperature field to accurately calculate the heat exchange value between indoor air and water, thereby predicting the heat exchange values during aquaculture activities in the aquaculture workshop. providing a new approach for equipment selection. This paper selects a puffer fish breeding workshop in Dalian as the simulation object, establishing a 3D unsteady-state Computational Fluid Dynamics model. The model considers outdoor temperature, solar radiation, and phase-change heat transfer in water. Comparison with experimental data reveals a root mean square error of 0.46°C for the simulated results. During summer, the highest cooling load occurs at 16:00, reaching 94.6 kW. It is recommended to employ the Daikin GCHP-40MAH ground source heat pump as the water temperature control equipment. CFD simulation validates its effectiveness in shaping the indoor temperature field post-installation. the investment in water temperature control equipment can be reduced to a certain degree. This provides a reference value for the selection of water temperature equipment in aquaculture workshops.
