The following data refers to an air conditioning plant:

i. Inside conditions 24°C DBT, 55% RH

ii. Outside conditions 37°C DBT, 25°C WBT

iii. Sensible heat gain 13.6kW

iv. Latent heat gain 8.25kW

Return air is mixed with outdoor air before entering coil in ratio 3.5:1 and return from room is also mixed after cooling coil in ratio 1:3.5 Coil BPF is 0.15 Air may be reheated if necessary before supplying to conditioned room. Assuming ADP 7°C. Determine:

a) Supply air condition to the room

b) Amount of fresh air supplied

c) Cooling load

Subject:- Refrigeration and Air Conditioning

Topic:- Design of air conditioning systems

Difficulty:- Low

td2=24,2=55

RSH=13.6 kW,RLH=8.25 kW, BPF=0.15

Locate points 1 and 2 on psychrometric chart. Since return air from room and outside air are mixed before entering cooling coil in ratio 3.5:1, therefore mark this point 3 on line 1-2 as

length(23)=length(21)4.5

From psychrometric chart,

td3=27 and h3=56 kJkgof dry air

We know,

BPF=(td4ADP)(td3ADP)

td4=10

mark point 4 on the line joining point 3 and ADP=7℃ on saturation curve

such that its DBT is 10℃

From chart, h4=28 kJkg of dry air

Since return air from room is also mixed with air leaving the cooling coil in ratio 1:3.5, therefore mark this point 5 on line 4-2 as

length(45)=length(42)4.5

From psychrometric

chart, td5=13.3andh5=33kJkg of dry air

RSHF=RSHRSH+RLH=0.6224

Draw horizontal from point 5 to intersect RSHF line at point 6 which represents condition of supply air to room.

a)Supply air condition to the room

td6=14,tw6=11.8

b)Amount of fresh air supplied

From chart, h6=33.5 kJkg of dry air and h2=51kJkg of dry air

Total amount of supply air =(Roomtotalheat)(Totalheatremovedperkg)=(RSH+RLH)(h2h6)=1.248kgsec=74.91 kg/min

Amount of dehumidified air=mD=74.913.54.5=58.27 kg/min Quantity of fresh air = mD4.5=12.94 kg/min

c)Cooling load

Cooling load=mD(h3h4)=1631.56kJmin= 1631.56210=7.77 TR
