This paper presents an air temperature distribution and refrigeration system dynamic coupling model to assess the performance of air distribution systems used in chilled food processing areas and its energy consumption impact. The coupling consists of a CFD air flow/temperature distribution system model and a compression refrigeration system model developed in EES integrated in the TRNSYS platform. The model was tested and validated using experimental data collected from a scaled air distribution test rig in an environmental chamber showing a good agreement with the measured data (an hourly energy consumption error up to 5.3 %). The CFD/EES coupling model can be used to design energy efficient cooled air distribution systems capable to maintain the required thermal environment in chilled food processing facilities.
