Company Profile

Providing Solutions to problems of CAE and CAD by

CAED Tech has been operating successfully with its location

at Hosur, TamilNadu.

CAED Tech is a modern innovative engineering company,

dedicated to provide high quality analysis result for the

industry.

We offer full range of services from idea generation and

problem-solving to ramp-up and training.

A team of highly trained and well qualified experts are to

build up long-term cooperation and fully satisfy our clients

needs.

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.

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.

What is CFD?

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.

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.

Why ventilation is necessary?

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.

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.

and many more…

CAEDTECH helps in the construction business to:

We design the ventilation system and providing logic for the

operation of the system.

Optimize the placement of fans, A.C.s, exhaust shafts and

other ventilation openings for maximizing occupant’s comfort.

Provide the most cost effective layout of jet fans for

underground car parks & tunnels.

The quality of service is best in the industry and prices are

very competitive too.
