The results from a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study on the effect of air supply diffuser type and exhaust loca-tion in a typical animal research laboratory are presented. The results show that low-level exhausts produce higher tempera-tures in the room and cages, but the best in-cage ventilation (lowest CO2 concentrations) compared with ceiling or high-level exhausts. Further, the study shows that the slot diffuser seems least sensitive to exhaust position. Finally, the results show that the room concentrations of CO2 and NH3 do not show any supply type or exhaust location to be significantly better or worse than any other type.
