Abstract
The study was carried out to improve by identifying and determining the level of thermal comfort and ventilation system at the 2-stroke Marine Engine Diesel Engine, Department of Marine Engineering, Politeknik Ungku Omar, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software has been used to study and suggest appropriate working conditions in the workshop. The three-dimensional model for the workshop has been analyzed using the CFD software. Results obtained from the simulation using the natural ventilation system indicate that this system is not capable of providing thermal comfort in the working area. Thermal comfort levels and ventilation systems are defined in reference to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (AHSRAE) standards. The improvement involves the use of ventilation device to further enhance the efficiency of the naturally ventilated system that has been used in the workshop.
