Solutions to Chapter 2
HVAC Fundamentals: Refrigeration
Problem 2.1
Solution
Find the Carnot COP and the ideal COP for a system that uses R-134a refrigerant at an evaporating temperature of 45F and a condensing temperature of
120F. Find the suction pressure and discharge pressures in psia and psig and the
temperature of the refrigerant leaving the compressor (assuming the ideal cycle
conditions).

Ideal COP (Using Figure B.1 in Appendix)

Point 1: Saturated vapor @ 45F, h1 = 110 Btu/lb (s1 = 0.222 Btu/lbF)
Point 2: Superheated vapor @ ~190 psia (the saturation pressure for 120F) and
s2 = s1 = 0.222 Btu/lbF, h2 = 121 Btu/lb
Point 3: Saturated liquid @ 120F, h3 = 52.5 Btu/lb
Point 4: Mixture @ t = 45F and h4 = h3 = 52.5 Btu/lb
Solution
Problem 2.3
Solution
A scroll compressor (Table 2.3) with R-134a refrigerant operates with a 45F
evaporating temperature and a 120F discharge temperature. Find the cooling
capacity (20F suction superheat and 15F liquid subcooling), compressor input
power, EER, suction pressure, and discharge pressure (psig).
@ te = 45F, tc = 120F, SH = 20F, and SC = 15F
qr = 28.9 MBtu/h (25,900 Btu/h), wc = 2.25 kW (2,250 W)
EER = qc/wc = 28.9/2.25 = 12.8 MBtu/kWh (= 28,900/2250 = 12.8 Btu/Wh)
Interpolating between P = 50 psia @ 40.3F and P = 75 psia @ 62.2F to P @ 45F
P (suction) 55.4 psia = 40.7 psig
Interpolating between P = 175 psia @ 115.8F and P = 200 psia @ 125.3F to
P @ 120F
P (discharge) 186 psia = 171.3 psig
What increase in capacity and EER can be expected if the superheat is lowered
to 10F and the condensing temperature is lowered to 100F? What is the disadvantage of doing this?
@ te = 45F, tc = 100F, SH = 20F, and SC = 15F
qr = 32.3 MBtu/h, wc = 1.77 kW (@ SH = 20F)
qr (@ SH = 10F) = 32.3 MBtu/h ( @ SH = 10F/ @ SH = 20F)
= 32.3 MBtu/h ( @ p 55 psia and t = 55F/ @ p 55 psia and t = 65F)
= 32.3 MBtu/h (1.11 lb/ft3 1.09 lb/ft3) = 32.8 MBtu/h
EER = 32.8 1.77 = 18.5 Btu/Wh
This represents a 13% increase in capacity and a 45% increase in efficiency. The disadvantage of doing this is that the condenser will most likely have to be cooled with
water to lower the temperature to 100F, and the 10F lower superheat provides a
smaller margin of error to prevent liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor.
Problem 2.4
Solution
Sketch the atomic makeup of R-22, R-12, and R-123.

Refrigerant numbering system = R[Carbons1] [Hydrogens+1][Fluorine]
For R-22 (which is really 022)
Number of carbon atoms 1 = 0, thus number of carbon atoms = 1
Number of hydrogen atoms + 1 = 2, thus number of hydrogen atoms = 1
Number of fluorine atoms = 2
Since the structure of the single carbon atom permits four atoms and there are two fluorine atoms and only one hydrogen, the remaining bond is filled with a chlorine atom.
For R-12: Carbon = 1, Hydrogen = 0, Fluorine = 2, Chlorine = 4 0 2 = 2
For R-123: Carbon = 2 (6 bonds now available), Hydrogen = 1, Fluorine = 3,
Chlorine = 6 1 3 = 2

Problem 2.5
How can you determine if a refrigerant has chlorine in its structure from the
R-xxx designation?
Solution
If the R number of the refrigerant has only two digits (which means the first digit of
the three-digit designation is 0), the sum of the remaining two numbers [(H + 1) and
(F)] must be 5 to ensure chlorine is not present. If the first digit of the three-digit designation is 1, the sum of the remaining two numbers [(H + 1) and (F)] must be 7 to
ensure chlorine is not present.
Problem 2.6
Compare the ideal COP of R-134a and R-22 at an evaporating temperature of

40F with 20F superheat and a condensing temperature of 120F with 15F subcooling with the actual compressor COPs calculated from the manufacturers
performance tables.
Solution
For R-134a using the P-h diagram (Figure B.1):

@ te = 40F (~50 psia) and SH = 20F, t1 = 60F and h1 = 113 Btu/lb
To find point 2, follow a line of constant entropy (s) to p =190 psia (saturated
pressure for tc = 120F), h2 = 126 Btu/lb.
To find point 3, follow a line of constant pressure (p = 190 psia) to the left, cross
the saturated liquid line, and go to a point 15F below the saturated temperature (120F), or t3 = 105F, h3 = 47 Btu/lb.
To find point 4, follow a line of constant enthalpy (h) downward to te = 40F (~50
psia), h4 = h3 = 47 Btu/lb.

- = ------------------------ = 5.1
Ideal COP c = ---------------h2 h1
126 113
From Table 2.3 @ te = 40F and tc = 120F, qr = 25.9 MBtu/h and wc = 2.27 kW.
Thus, EER = 25.9 2.27 = 11.4 MBtu/kWh = 11.4 Btu/Wh and
COP = EER 3.412 Btu/Wh = 11.4 Btu/Wh 3.412 Btu/Wh = 3.34.
For R-22, using the P-h diagram (Figure B.2):
Point 1: (te = 40F), p1 83 psia, t1 = 60F, and h1 = 111 Btu/lb.
Point 2: (tc = 120F), p2 275 psia, t2 160F, and h2 = 124 Btu/lb.
Point 3: (tc = 120F), p3 275 psia, t3 = 105F, and h3 = 42 Btu/lb.
Point 4: t4 = te = 40F, p4 = p1 83 psia, h4 = h3 = 42 Btu/lb
h1 h4
111 42
- = ------------------------ = 5.3
Ideal COP c = ---------------h2 h1
124 111
From Table 2.4 @ te = 40F and tc = 120F, qr = 32.4 MBtu/h and wc = 2.74 kW.
Thus, EER = 32.4 2.74 = 11.8 MBtu/kWh = 11.8 /Wh and
COP = EER 3.412 Btu/Wh = 11.8 Btu/Wh 3.412 Btu/Wh = 3.47.
Problem 2.7
Solution
A set of pressure gauges on a manifold (see figure in Refrigerant Charging insert

above) read 35 psig and a thermometer placed in close contact with the compressor inlet reads 67F. The discharge pressure is 200 psig with an outdoor temperature of 95F, and the refrigerant is R-134a. Is this system properly charged? If not,
what range of temperature should be expected for these pressures?
@ 35 psig, te = 40F for R-134a
Check @ p = 14.7 + 35 = 49.7 psia, te 40F (as shown in Table 2.1)
Superheat = t1 te = 67F 40F = 27F
The unit appears to be undercharged since proper operation typically dictates that the
superheat be in the 10F to 20F range when nearly fully loaded, as indicated with the
95F outdoor air temperature.

Solution
A manufacturer recommends that their R-22 equipment operate with a suction

pressure of 72 psig and a return gas temperature of 53F with a specified air temperature (75F) and flow rate (400 cfm/ton). What are the corresponding evaporating temperature and superheat?
P1 = 72 psig = 84.7 psia
The pressure gauge shown in Figure 2.12 indicates te @ 72 psig 43F.
Thus, SH = t1 te = 53F 43F = 10F.
Problem 2.9
With regard to the use of refrigerant mixtures as substitutes for CFCs, explain
the difference between azeotropes and zeotropes. What is glide?
Solution
Azeotropes are refrigerant mixtures that behave as pure substances. When the refrigerant exists in a mixture of vapor and liquid, the lines of constant temperature are parallel with the lines of constant pressure with changing vapor-liquid fraction on a P-h
diagram. Both lines are horizontal in the dome-shaped region of the chart bounded by
the saturated liquid and saturated vapor lines. Zeotropes are refrigerant mixtures
whose components evaporate and condense at a gliding temperature that depends
on both the pressure and vapor-liquid fractions. The lines of constant temperature
within the vapor dome region of a P-h diagram are not perfectly horizontal.
Problem 2.10
A refrigerant has an ASHRAE Standard 34 designation of A2 and B2. What

does this mean? It also has an ODP of 0.75. Is this good, acceptable, or unacceptable?
Solution
The A2 designation indicates a low level of toxicity (A being nontoxic and B being
toxic). The value of 2 indicates a low lower flammability limit (LFL) with 1 being no
propagation in air and 3 having a high LFL. An ODP (ozone depletion potential) of
0.75 is unacceptable since many of the CFCs that have been banned have ODPs
around 1.0.

Problem 2.8
HVAC Fundamentals: Heat Transfer
Problem 3.1
A stream of water flowing at 25 gpm must be cooled from 80F to 70F with
chilled water at 50F flowing at 20 gpm in a coaxial counterflow heat exchanger
with an overall U-factor of 450 Btu/hft2F and 1.25 in. diameter inner tube.
Calculate the required length of heat exchanger tubing.
q = mcp (two twi) = Qcp (two twi)

For hot fluid side, water at 75F, = 62.3 lb/ft3, cp = 1.0 Btu/lbF:
q (Btu/h) = (62.3 lb/ft3 1.0 Btu/lbF 60 min/h 7.48 gal/ft3) Q (gal/min)
(thwo thwi)F
= 500 Q (gal/min) (thwo thwi)F = 500 25 (gal/min) (70 80)F
= 125,000 Btu/h
Rearrange the equation to find the cold fluid out temperature:
tcwo = tcwi + q [500 Q (gpm)] = 50F + {125,000* [500 20 (gpm)]}
= 62.5F,
t2 = 80 62.5 = 17.5F
Note the sign of q is changed from to + since the energy balance convention has
changed to the cold side and the addition of heat to the cold stream will result in an
increase in temperature.

Problem 3.5
Solution
A condenser is to be fabricated from the heat exchanger tubing described in

Problem 3.1 for a compressor that flows 950 lb/h of R-134a refrigerant. Find the
total required heat transfer rate, the heat required to desuperheat the gas, and
the required length of tubing if the overall U-factor is 500 Btu/hft2F, the temperature leaving the compressor is 200F, and the pressure is 185 psig. The condenser exit is saturated liquid at 185 psig and the water temperatures entering
and leaving the condenser are 70F and 80F, respectively.
Find refrigerant enthalpy at inlet (h2), saturated vapor (hsat), and outlet (h3).
h2 is a superheated vapor @ 185 psig (~200 psia), h2 = 139 Btu/lb.
For a saturated vapor @ 200 psia (125F), hsat = 119 Btu/lb.
For a saturated liquid @ 200 psia, hsat = h3 = 54 Btu/lb.
qr = mr(h2 h3) = 950 lb/h (139 54) Btu/lb = 80,750 Btu/h
Heat required to desuperheat:
qr(ds) = mr(h2 hsat) = 950 lb/h (139 119) Btu/lb = 19,000 Btu/h
Heat required to condense from saturated vapor to saturated liquid:
qr(cond) = mr(hsat h3) = 950 lb/h (119 54) Btu/lb = 61,750 Btu/h
To size condenser, break into two sections so that LMTD can be calculated for both
sections.

Problem 3.6
Hot waste water flowing at 20 gpm at 200F is used to heat 15 gpm of incoming
water at 85F to 125F in a coaxial-counterflow heat exchanger. The copper
(k = 220 Btu/hftF) inside tube has an outer diameter of 1.125 in. and inside
diameter of 1.00 in. Compute the required length of tube for an internal heat
transfer coefficient of 750 Btu/hft2F and an outer heat transfer coefficient of
900 Btu/hft2F.
Solution
q = mcp (two twi) = Qcp(two twi)

For cold fluid side, 15 gpm water at 85F heated to 125F:
q (Btu/h) 500 Q (gal/min) (thwo thwi)F = 500 15 (gal/min) (125 85)F
= 300,000 Btu/h
Rearrange the equation to find the hot fluid outlet temperature:
tcwo = tcwi + q [500 Q (gpm)] = 200F {300,000* [500 20 (gpm)]} = 170F,
for counterflow: t1 = 200 125 = 75F and t2 = 170 85 = 85F

= 122 + 1.1 (1 0.5) (5000/1000) (74 80) = 90.7 MBtu/h
kW62 = 10.1 kW
Problem 5.4
Correct the results of Problem 5.3 for fan heat to obtain total capacity (net), sensible cooling capacity (net), and resulting sensible heat ratio (SHR).
Solution
TC62 (net) = TC62 (gross) 3.41 kWfan

From Problem 5.2, kWfan = 2.82
TC62 (net) = 131 MBtu/h 3.41 MBtu/kWh 2.82 kW = 121.4 MBtu/h
SC74/62 (net) = 90.7 MBtu/h 3.41 MBtu/kWh 2.82 kW = 81.1 MBtu/h
SHR = SC74/62 (net) TC62 (net) = 81.1 121.4 = 0.67

Problem 5.5
Solution
A building in St. Louis, Missouri, has a sensible heat gain of 23,000 Btu/h and a
total load of 33,000 when outdoor conditions are 97F/76F and mixed indoor air
conditions entering the cooling coil are 80F/67F. Select a cooling unit from
Table 5.3 to meet the load and SHR requirement. Specify the required cfm and
resulting EER.
qs = 23,000 Btu/h (23 MBtu/h), q = 33,000 Btu/h (33 MBtu/h)
@ to = 97F/76F and ti = 80F/67F, Q = 1200 cfm
SHRLoad = qs q = 23 MBtu/h / 33 MBtu/h = 0.70
For a Model 036, interpolate between values for OAT (aka to) = 95F and 105F
@ 95F OAT and EAT (aka ti) 80F/67F, TC = 35.8 MBtu/h, SC = 26.4 MBtu/h,
and kW = 2.97
@ 105F OAT and EAT = 80F/67F, TC = 34.5 MBtu/h, SC = 25.9 MBtu/h,
and kW = 3.31
Via interpolation, TC97 = 35.5 MBtu/h, SC97 = 26.3 MBtu/h, and kW97 = 3.04
Since this manufacturer reports net capacity values, no fan heat deduction is required.
SHRUnit = SC97 TC97 = 26.3 35.3 = 0.74
Since SHRUnit SHRLoad, the unit will not meet the SHR (dehumidification) requirement at the rated 1200 cfm airflow. Lower cfm to reduce SHR and improve dehumidification.
Try lowering flow to 80% of rated flow = 0.80 1200 cfm = 960 cfm
CFTC = 0.97, TC97/960 = 0.97 35.5 = 34.4
CFSC = 0.90, SC97/960 = 0.90 26.3 = 23.7, SHRUnit = 23.7 34.4 = 0.69 OK
CFkWc = 0.975, kW97/960 = 0.975 3.04 = 3.04
EER = TC (net) kW (total) = 34.4 MBtu/h 3.04 kW = 11.3 MBtu/kWh (Btu/Wh)
Problem 5.6
Solution
Repeat Problem 5.5 for an indoor condition of 75F/63F.

@ to = 97F/76F and ti = 75F/63F
For a Model 036, interpolate between values for OAT (aka to) = 95F and 105F
and kW =2.94
and kW = 3.28
Since this manufacturer reports net capacity values, no fan heat deduction is required.
SHRUnit = SC97 TC97 = 25.6 33.2 = 0.77 too high
Reduce airflow and correct performance to see if the unit can meet requirements.
Try lowering flow to 80% of rated value = 0.80 1200 cfm = 960 cfm
CFTC = 0.97, TC97/960 = 0.97 33.2 = 32.2 TC too low
CFSC = 0.90, SC97/1080 = 0.90 25.6 = 23.0, SHRUnit = 23.0 32.2 = 0.72 too high
Unit will not meet requirements since increasing flow to meet TC requirement will
raise SHR, which is already too high.
Try a larger unit at the lowest possible airflow rate (this may create more problems
since oversized units cycle more frequently and exacerbate humidity problems).

For a Model 042 @ 1300 cfm, interpolate between OAT (aka to) = 95F and 105F
and kW = 3.47
and kW = 3.88
@ 80% airflow = 1040 cfm
CFTC = 0.97, TC97/1040 = 0.97 40.4 = 39.2 OK
CFSC = 0.90, SC97/1040 = 0.90 31.0 = 27.9
SHRUnit = 27.9 39.2 = 0.71 still too high
This result is typical for high-efficiency equipment that frequently cannot meet latent
requirements. Either use a smaller indoor coil with lower airflow and lower efficiency
to meet latent requirements or use the Model 036 since it is not oversized.

Problem 5.7
Solution
Problem 5.8
Solution
Determine if the unit selected in Problem 5.6 can meet an SHR of 0.68 for an outdoor condition of 85F and indoor condition of 75F/63F at the design cfm. Can
it meet the SHR at a lower cfm?
SHRLoad = 0.68 @ to = 85F and ti = 75F/63F
For Model 036 at 1200 cfm @ 85F OAT and EAT 75F/63F
TC = 34.6 MBtu/h, SC = 26.3 MBtu/h, and kW =2.66
SHRUnit = 26.3 34.6 = 0.76 too high
Correct to 80% airflow (960 cfm)
SHRUnit = 23.7 33.6 = 0.71 too high
The building heat loss is 37,000 Btu/h when the indoor temperature is 70F and
the outdoor temperature is 20F. Use the heating data of the Problem 5.6 heat
pump to determine the units capacity (with a 10% defrost cycle deduct) and size
the electric resistance supplementary backup if necessary. Find the system COP.
qh = 37 MBtu/h @ 20F OAT
@ 27F OAT and EAT 70F, TH = 24.3 MBtu/h, kW = 2.80
@ 17F OAT and EAT 70F, TH = 22.6 MBtu/h, kW = 2.76
Interpolated to 20F OAT and EAT 70F, TH = 23.1 MBtu/h, kW = 2.77
@ 80% rated flow (960 cfm)
CFTH = 0.98, TH20/960 = 0.98 23.1 = 22.6 MBtu/h
CFkW = 1.05, kW20/960 = 1.05 2.77 = 2.91
Deduct 10% for defrost:
TH20/960 (with defrost penalty) = 0.9 22.6 = 20.4 MBtu/h

Problem 5.9
Solution
Meet the requirements of Problem 5.8 by selecting a natural gas furnace for an
indoor temperature of 70F.
qh = 37 MBtu/h @ 20F OAT
Find a furnace with TH > 37 MBtu/h and Q 960 cfm (the cooling mode airflow
from previous problems).
Option 1 for noncondensing furnace, use Model 060 (Table 5.4) that has a TH of
47 MBtu/h and set the fan speed tap on low (if ESP 0.4 in. for air distribution system) or med/low (if ESP 0.8 in.).
Option 2 for noncondensing furnace, use Model 060 (Table 5.5) that has a TH of
47 MBtu/h and set the fan speed tap on low (if ESP 0.4 in. for air distribution system) or med/low (if ESP 0.8 in.).
Option 3 (with very little cushion for extremely cold days), use Model 040 (Table 5.5)
that has a TH of 38 MBtu/h and set the fan speed on high and specify that the air distribution system required ESP does not exceed 0.4 in.
Problem 5.10
Solution
Repeat Problems 5.6 and 5.8 using a water-to-air heat pump with a 90F entering water temperature in cooling and a 45F entering water temperature in heating. Assume a pump power requirement of 160 W (this replaces the outdoor fan
of an air unit) and indoor fan is included in the total kW.
@ EWT = 90F and ti = 75F/63F, wpump = 160 W = 0.16 kW
From Table 5.6, try a Model 036 using Qwater = 9 gpm (analysis could also use 7 gpm
as starting point) and 80F/67F EAT and EWT = 90F, TC67 = 34.5 MBtu/h
Correct TC to twb =63F, TC63 = CF63 TC67 = 0.93 34.5 = 32.1 MBtu/h too small
Try a Model 042 using 8 gpm (analysis could also use 11 gpm as starting point) and
80F/67F EAT, and EWT = 90F, TC67 = 42.2 MBtu/h, SC = 30.8 MBtu/h,
and kWc = 3.22
Correct TC to twb =63F, TC63 = CF63 TC67 = 0.93 42.2 = 39.2 MBtu/h OK
Correct SC to tdb =75F, twb = 63F, SC75/63 = CF75/63 SC80 = 0.96 30.8

SHRUnit = SC75/63 TC63 = 29.6 39.2 = 0.75 too high, since SHRLoad = 0.70
Lower cfm to 80% of rated Qair = 0.80 1400 = 1120 cfm
TC80% = CF80% TC100% = 0.97 39.2 = 38.0 MBtu/h
SC80% = CF80% SC100% = 0.90 29.6 = 26.6 MBtu/h
SHRUnit = SC80% TC80% = 26.6 38.0 = 0.70 OK
Correct kW to tdb = 75F, twb = 63F, and Qair = 1120 cfm
kWc = CF63 CF80% kWc @ 67 wb,1400 cfm = 0.98 0.975 3.22 = 3.08 kW
For Model 042 @ 1120 cfm, 8 gpm:
EER = TC (kWc + kWpump) = 38.0 MBtu/h (3.08 + 0.16) = 11.7 MBtu/kWh

Problem 5.11
A building has a sensible heat gain of 140 MBtu/h and a total load of 190 MBtu/h
when outdoor conditions are 95F/75F and mixed indoor air conditions entering
the cooling coil are 78F/64.5F. Select a rooftop cooling unit from Table 5.2 to
meet the load. Specify the required cfm, SHRunit, and fan motor size to deliver
1.2 in. of water external static pressure (ESP) and the resulting EER.
Solution
q = 190 MBtu/h, qs = 140 MBtu/h @ 95F OAT

SHRLoad = 140 190 = 0.74
Try Model 240 @ mid-range flow rate (8000 cfm) from Table 5.2 since SHR is normal
@ 95F OAT, twb = 67F, TC* = 252 MBtu/h, SC* = 183 MBtu/h, kW = 19.3
@ 95F OAT, twb = 62F, TC* = 232 MBtu/h, SC* = 218 MBtu/h, kW = 18.7
Via interpolation, @ 95F OAT, twb = 64.5F, TC* = 242 MBtu/h, SC* = 201 MBtu/h,
and kW = 19.0
* gross capacities, must be corrected for fan heat
TCnet = TCgross 3.41 kWfan and SCnet = SCgross 3.41 kWfan

@ 8000 cfm and 1.2 in. ESP, kWfan = 5.72 kW (via interpolation between
ESP = 1.0 and 1.5)
Note fan BHP = 6.8 hp and increased to next standard size = 7.5 hp (see Chapter 11)
TCnet = 242 3.41 5.72 = 222 MBtu/h OK since requirement is 190 MBtu/h
SCnet @ 80 EAT = SCgross @ 80 EAT 3.41 kWfan = 201 3.412 5.72 = 181.5
Correct for EAT = 78F
SCnet @ 78 EAT = SCnet @ 80 EAT + 1.1 (1 BF) (cfm/1000) (EAT 80)
SCnet @ 78 EAT = 181.5 + 1.1 (1 0.06) (8000/1000) (78 80) = 165
SHRUnit = SCnet @ 78 EAT TCnet = 165 222 = 0.74 OK since SHRLoad = 0.74
However, consider running a slightly lower airflow since extra capacity is available
and SHRUnit is so close to SHRLoad

Problem 5.12
A building zone has a total sensible heat gain of 105,000 Btu/h (walls, roof, windows, internal, people) and a latent gain of 20,000 Btu/h. The required outdoor
air ventilation rate is 800 cfm. Indoor conditions are 75F/63F and outdoor conditions are 95F/75F, and outside air is mixed with the return air before entering the unit. Select a rooftop unit to cool this zone. The fan must deliver 1.0 in.
water of external static pressure (ESP). Recall the capacities given are gross. You
must convert them to total net capacities by deducting the fan heat.
Solution
Loads
Room: qRS = 105 MBtu/h, qRL = 20 MBtu/h, qR = qRS + qRL = 105 + 20 = 125 MBtu/h
Outdoor air: @ to = 95F/75F, ho = 38.3 Btu/lb, @ ti = 75F/63F, hi = 28.4 Btu/lb
qOAS 1.08 Qo (to ti) 1.08 800 cfm (95 75) 17,300 Btu/h 17.3 MBtu/h

35.2 MBtu/h
Totals: qs = qRS + qOAS = 105 + 17.3 = 122 MBtu/h
q = qR + qOA = 125 + 35.2 = 160 MBtu/h
SHRLoad = 122 160 = 0.76
Must now find mixed air conditions, which means the supply air or recirculated air
quantity must be known (or assumed) to compute the mixed air conditions when
mixed with the 800 cfm outdoor air. Note the Model 180 rooftop unit is rated at

this flow rate for first computation; 5200 cfm of recirculated air at is mixed with
800 cfm of outside air 95F/75F to provide 6000 cfm of supply air.
Using PsychProcess.xls (mixing) provides a mixed air condition 78F/65F entering

SHRUnit = SCnet @ 78 EAT TCnet = 123 173 = 0.71 Excellent, since

TC = 65 MBtu/h, SC = 44.9, SHRLoad = 43.4 59.4 = 0.73;
SHRFCU = 44.9 65.0 = 0.69 (OK)
65, 000 Btu/h
TC ( Btu/h )
t o = t i ( F ) + ----------------------------------- = 45F + --------------------------------- = 55.0F
500 13 gpm
500 Q ( gpm )
So Model 60-HW-4 coil at 2000 cfm and 13 gpm will work.

Zone 4:
Use same coil and water flow as zone 3 to meet 3 p.m. load, which is 60.5 MBtu/h.
TC = 65 MBtu/h, SC = 44.9, SHRLoad = 45.5 60.5 = 0.75;
SHRFCU = 44.9 65.0 = 0.69 (OK)
So Model 60-HW-4 coil at 2000 cfm and 13 gpm will work.
Problem 5.15
Solution
Select a chiller (or chillers) to meet the combined loads of the coils in
Problem 5.14. Specify unit model number, required water flow, and gross kW/
ton and EER.
The peak block load occurs at 3 p.m. (although load in zone 2 peaks at 10 a.m.).
At 3 p.m., qLoads = 235.4 MBtu/h = 19.6 tons
A Model 020 (Table 5.10) water-cooled scroll compressor chiller will deliver:
TC = 20.4 tons = 20.4 12,000 Btu/ton-h = 244,800 Btu/h @ 45F LWT
and 85F Cond. EWT
Compressor demand will be 15.4 kW (15,400 W).
gpm(Evap.) = 244,800 Btu/h [500 (55F 45F)] = 49 gpm
kW/ton (gross) = 15.4 kW 20.4 tons = 0.75 kW/ton
EER (gross) = 244,800 Btu/h 15,400 W = 15.9 Btu/Wh

Problem 6.1
Solution
Problem 6.2
Solution
Compute the heat rate of a 5 ft, 10 in., 160 lb male machinist at work.
AD = 0.108 m0.425 l 0.725 = 0.108 160 lb.0.425 70 in.0.725 = 20.3 ft2
Doing light machine work generates 37 to 44 Btu/hft2 (mid-range = 40.5 Btu/hft2)
Thus, Qmachinist = 40.5 Btu/hft2 20.3 ft2 = 820 Btu/h
Repeat Problem 6.1 for a 5 ft, 6 in., 120 lb performing ballerina.
AD = 0.108 m0.425 l 0.725 = 0.108 120 lb.0.425 66 in.0.725 = 19.1 ft2
A ballerina generates 44 to 81 Btu/hft2 (mid-range = 62.5 Btu/hft2)
Thus, qballerina = 62.5 Btu/hft2 19.1 ft2 = 1190 Btu/h
Problem 6.3
What range of indoor temperature and humidity is best to satisfy occupants in

the summer? In the winter? Why is there a difference?
Solution
At the upper relative humidity level of 60%, the indoor temperature should be in the
73F to 79F range to satisfy the most individuals in the summer. At the lower relative
humidity level of 30%, the indoor temperature should be in the 74F to 81F range to
satisfy the most individuals in the summer.
At the upper relative humidity level of 60%, the indoor temperature should be in the
68F to 74F range to satisfy the most individuals in the winter (this condition is difficult to maintain in the winter because the outside air is drier). At the lower relative
humidity level of 30%, the indoor temperature should be in the 69F to 76F range to
satisfy the most individuals in the winter.
The temperatures are lower in the winter because occupants are typically dressed with
heavier clothing in the winter because of the lower outdoor temperature.
Problem 6.4
Why are people more comfortable in the winter with a lower thermostat setting?
Solution
Occupants are comfortable with a lower setting in the winter because they are typically dressed with heavier clothing because of the lower outdoor temperature.

Problem 6.5
Solution
Find the required ventilation air for a 1500 ft2 college classroom with 40 students. The ventilation air is delivered through ceiling vents and returned though
a grille near the floor.
Vbz = RPPZ + RaAZ = 10 cfm/person 40 people + 0.12 cfm/ft2 1500 ft2
= 400 + 180 = 580 cfm
Since the ventilation air is delivered at the ceiling and exhausted near the floor, the air
will be delivered to the breathing zone and the zone air distribution effectiveness (EZ)
is 1.0.
Thus, Voz = Vbz EZ = 580 1.0 = 580 cfm
Problem 6.6
Solution
Repeat Problem 6.5 if the return is in the ceiling and the HVAC unit is in cooling.
= 400 + 180 = 580 cfm
When cold air is delivered at the ceiling, it will tend to fall into the breathing zone since
it is more dense than the room air. It will mix with the room air and fulfill its intended
effect before it is exhausted. The zone air distribution effectiveness (EZ) is 1.0.
Problem 6.7
Solution
Repeat Problem 6.6 if the unit is in heating and the delivery temperature is
100F.
= 400 + 180 = 580 cfm
Since the warm ventilation air is delivered at the ceiling, it will tend to stay near the
ceiling and not completely mix with the room air before it is exhausted near the ceiling. The zone air distribution effectiveness (EZ) is 0.8.
Problem 6.8
You are required to design a ventilation air system for a 3000 ft2 library with
supply and return in the ceiling, but no occupancy is provided. Specify the
required ventilation airflow rate.
Solution
If the building owner or building owners representative does not provide occupancy,
use the default values in Table 6.2. In the case of the library, the value is 10 people per
1000 ft2. It is advisable that this be noted in the design documentation or provided
directly to the owner or owners representative in writing.
Thus, PZ = (10 people/1000 ft2) 3000 ft2 = 30 people
= 150 + 360 = 510 cfm
In cooling EZ = 1.0 (cold air supply in ceiling, return in ceiling)
Voz = Vbz EZ = 510 1.0 = 510 cfm
In heating EZ = 0.8 (warm air supply in ceiling, return in ceiling)
Voz = Vbz EZ = 510 0.8 = 640 cfm
Problem 6.9
Solution
Determine the required ventilation air rate for a 3000 ft2, five-bedroom, threebathroom home.
Qfan = 0.01 A (ft2) + 7.5 (Nbedrooms + 1) = 0.01 3000 ft2 + 7.5 (5 +1) = 75 cfm

Find the following for Chicago:

Elevation
Dry-bulb temperature at 0.4% cooling design
Mean wet-bulb temperature at 0.4% cooling design
Temperature at 99.6% heating design condition
0.4% design wet-bulb
Dry-bulb temperature at 0.4% WB condition
Daily range on cooling design day
For Chicago from Table 6.5:
Elevation = 673 ft above sea level
tdb @ 0.4% = 91F
tMWB @ 0.4% tdb = 74F
tdb @ 99.6% = 6F
twb @ 0.4% = 77F
tMDB @ 0.4% twb = 88F
DR = 20F
Repeat Problem 6.12 for Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
For Tuscaloosa from Table 6.5:
Elevation = 171 ft above sea level
tdb @ 0.4% = 95F
tMWB @ 0.4% tdb = 77F
tdb @ 99.6% = 20F
twb @ 0.4% = 80F
tMDB @ 0.4% twb = 90F
DR = 20F
Explain the meaning of 99.6% and 0.4% design conditions in Table 6.3.
This notation means that the value of the temperature in the table is exceeded during
99.6% of the hours during a normal year. Likewise, the 0.4% temperature is exceeded
during only 0.4% of the hours during a normal year.

Problem 7.18
Ductwork is to be located in an attic of a 5000 ft2 building with a roof of

R = 3 hft2F/Btu and an R = 20 hft2F/Btu ceiling. The ductwork consists of a
100 ft main rectangular metal duct (20 28 in.) and 150 linear ft of 10 in. round
metal duct. The duct is not sealed but is wrapped with insulation to provide
R = 6 (hftF/Btu). The average main duct ESP is 1.3 in. of water and the round
duct is at 0.75 in. of water. The outdoor temperature is 5F, the indoor temperature is 68F, and the indoor fan of a 200 MBtu/h output furnace delivers
5200 cfm. The attic is ventilated naturally at 0.1 cfm/ft2. Compute the duct
losses.
Solution
AFloor = 5000 ft2

Duct: 100 ft 20 in. 28 in. rectangular:
AMainDuct = 2 (20 + 28) 12 in./ft 100 ft = 800 ft2
150 ft 10 in. round: ATakeOff = (10 12 in./ft) 150 ft = 393 ft2
AD = 800 + 393 = 1193 ft2
Leakage: (Leakage class (CL) values from Table 7.7)
QDL-Main = [(CL ps0.65) 100] AD = [(48 1.30.65 100] 800 = 455 cfm
QDL-Round = [(30 0.750.65) 100] 393 = 98 cfm
455 + 98 = 553 cfm
Attic ventilation:
QAV = 0.1 cfm/ft2 5000 ft2 = 500 cfm
Supply air temperature:
ts = ti + HC (1.08 Qs) = 68F + 200,000 Btu/h (1.08 5000 cfm) = 103.6F

Compute duct heat loss:

qDuct = qDuctCond + qDuctLeak = (AD RD) (ts tA) + 1.08 QDL (ts tA)
= (1193 6) (103.6 27.2) + 1.08 553 (103.6 27.2) = 15,190 + 45,630
= 60,800 Btu/h
Problem 7.19
Solution
Compute the losses through the roof and the attic ventilation air in Problem 7.18.
qR = (AR RR) (tA to) and qAV = 1.08 QAV (tA to)
from Problem 7.18
qR = (5000 ft2 3 hFft2/Btu) [27.2F (5F)] = 53,700 Btu/h
and qAV = 1.08 533 cfm [27.2F (5F)] = 18,500 Btu/h
Problem 7.20
Repeat Problem 7.18 if the duct is located in a 5 ft high crawlspace that has a 1 ft
exterior exposure with no insulation. The building is 50 100 ft and has an
R = 5 hft2F/Btu floor. Crawlspace ventilation is 0.05 cfm/ft2.
Solution
AFloor = 5000 ft2, PBldg = 2 50 + 2 100 = 300 ft

Duct: 100 ft 20 in. 28 in. rectangular:
AMainDuct = 2 (20 + 28) 12 in./ft 100 ft = 800 ft2
150 ft 10 in. round:
ATakeOff = (10 12 in./ft) 150 ft = 393 ft2
Duct leakage:
QDL-Main = [(CL ps0.65) 100] AD = [(48 1.30.65 100] 800 = 455 cfm
QDL-Round = [(30 0.750.65) 100] 393 = 98 cfm
455 + 98 = 553 cfm
Crawlspace ventilation:
QCS = 0.05 cfm/ft2 5000 ft2 = 250 cfm
Crawlspace wall HT coefficient (Table 7.6):
For Lag = 1 ft and Lcsb = 5 ft and no insulation:
Fscb = 4.42 Btu/hft2F
Supply air temperature:
ts = ti + HC (1.08 Qs) = 68F + 200,000 Btu/h (1.08 5000 cfm) = 103.6F

From Table 8.3 for south wall:

CLTDTable = 12F (lat = 36N), CLTDTable = 15F (lat = 42N)
CLTDTable = 13.5F (lat = 39N)
CLTDCor = CLTDTable + (78 ti + [(to DR/2) 85]

Problem 8.3
Solution
Compute the 3 p.m. heat gain of the windows of the single office described in
Figure C.4* in Appendix C if it is located in St. Louis.
Double-pane, aluminum frame windows: U = 0.87 Btu/hft2F (Table 7.3)
Light blinds: SC = 0.58 (assuming a 45 positionTable 7.4)
For conduction see Table 8.4; all walls, h = 15
CLTDTable = 14F, CLTDCor = 14 + (78 75) + [(95 18/2) 85] = 18F
To compute solar, SCL zone types based on wall types, see Figure 7.4
Heavy wall, top floor SCL zone type = B
From Table 8.6, east wall, h = 15
SCLE = 48 @ lat = 36N, CLTDTable = 48 @ lat = 42N, thus SCLE
= 48 Btu/hft2 @ lat = 39N
From Table 8.6, south wall, h = 15
SCLS = 52 @ lat = 36N, CLTDTable = 81 @ lat = 42N, thus SCLS
= 67 Btu/hft2 @ lat = 39N
qEWin = qcond + qsolar = U A CLTDCor + SC A SCL
= 0.87 (3 ft 6 ft 5 windows) 18F + 0.58 (3 ft 6 ft 5 windows) 48 Btu/hft2
= 1410 + 2510 = 3920 Btu/h
qSWin = qcond + qsolar = U A CLTDCor + SC A SCL
= 0.87 (3 ft 6 ft 4 windows) 18F + 0.58 (3 ft 6 ft 4 windows) 48 Btu/hft2

Problem 8.4
Solution
Compute the 3 p.m. internal heat gain due to lighting and office equipment of the
single office described in Figure C.4* in Appendix C if it is located in St. Louis
and is occupied for 12 hours per day.
Lights:
qSLights = 3.412 Btu/Wh CLF15 wS/bulb Nbulbs
For a heavy wall, LW block,
CLF zone type = C (Figure 7.4), CLF15 = 0.92 (12 h dayTable 8.13)
qSLights = 3.412 Btu/Wh 0.92 31 wS/bulb (E-ballast) 20 2 bulbs = 3890 Btu/h
Unhooded equipment:
qSEquip = 3.412 Btu/Wh CLF15 wS = 3.412 Btu/Wh CLF15 wSComp + wSPrinters
For a heavy wall, LW block,
CLF zone type = C (Figure 7.4), CLF15 = 0.89 (12 h dayTable 8.8)
qSEquip= 3.412 Btu/Wh 0.89 (15 125 + 4 160) = 7640 Btu/h
Problem 8.5
Solution
Compute the 3 p.m. heat gain (sensible and latent) due to ventilation air of the
single office described in Figure C.4* in Appendix C if it is located in St. Louis.
Assume it is a single zone.
Find outdoor ventilation rate for 15 people in a 1008 ft2 office (single zone).
Vbz = RP P + Ra A = 5 cfm/person 15 people + 0.06 cfm/ft2 1008 ft2 = 135 cfm

Chapter 8Cooling Load and Heating Loss Calculations and Analysis
For cool air delivered through ceiling, EZ = 1.0, for single zone EV = 1.0
Thus, Vot = Vbz (EZ EV) = 135 cfm (1.0 1.0) =135 cfm
For St. Louis: = 95F MWB = 76F, Wo = 0.0142 lb/lb
and for building ti = 75F, twb = 63F, Wi = 0.0094 lb/lb
qSOA 1.08 Q (cfm) (to ti) = 1.08 135 cfm (95F 75F) = 2920 Btu/h
qLOA 4680 Q (cfm) (Wo Wi) = 4680 135 cfm (0.0142 0.0094) = 3030 Btu/h
Problem 8.6
Solution
Compute the total cooling load, sensible cooling load, latent cooling load, and
sensible heat ratio of the single office described in Figure C.4* in Appendix C if it
is located in St. Louis. Provide results for all three design conditions and compare with estimates given in Table 8.15.

Air Distribution System Design
Problem 9.1
Room 255 (Appendix C, Figure C.7*) has a 9 ft ceiling and an 18 20 ft floor.

Select square ceiling diffusers to distribute 1400 cfm of air and provide an ADPI >
90%, an NC < 30, and a TP < 0.1 in. of water. The solution should include a sketch.
Solution
Q = 1400 cfm: The shape of the room lends itself to two diffusers, 700 cfm each, that
have to throw air in near equal distance in four directions. A four-way diffuser is
appropriate.
To achieve an ADPI > 90%, T50/L = 1.4 to 2.7 with louvered ceiling diffusers
(Table 9.2)
For L = 9 ft: T50 = (T50/L) L = 1.4 9 = 12.6 ft to L = 2.7 9 = 24.3 ft
For L = 10 ft: T50 = 1.4 10 = 14.0 ft to L = 2.7 10 = 27.0 ft
So the diffuser must have a T50 between 14.0 and 24.3 ft in four directions
--`,,``,`,,,`,,`,````,`,`,,,,``,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Try a 16 16 in. (Table 9.4): at 610 cfm T50 = 20 ft and at 765 cfm T50 = 25 ft
Via interpolation: at 700 cfm T50 23 ft OK, and NC = 27 OK
TP = TPRated (Q/QRated)2 = 0.094 (700/765)2 = 0.079 in. of water OK
Problem 9.2
Repeat Problem 9.1 for room 256 (Appendix C, Figure C.7*), which has a
40 40 ft floor with 2200 cfm.
Solution
Copyright ASHRAE

To achieve an ADPI > 90%, T50/L = 1.4 to 2.7 with louvered ceiling diffusers
(Table 9.2)
For L = 10 ft: T50 = 1.4 10 = 14.0 ft to L = 2.7 10 = 27.0 ft
So the diffuser must have a T50 between 14.0 and 27 ft in four directions
Via interpolation: at 550 cfm T50 27 ft and NC = 32 too high, but may be
OK for VAV
Via interpolation: at 550 cfm T50 21 ft OK, and NC = 25 OK
TP = TPRated (Q/QRated)2 = 0.058 (550/500)2 = 0.07 in. of water OK
Problem 9.3
Solution
Size a MERV 6 filter and a matching filter-grille for room 255 (Appendix C,
Figure C.7*) that will limit the final resistance to 0.5 in. of water. One dimension
should be a multiple of 24 in. if possible.
hFinal 0.5 in. w.c. and recommendation is hFinal 4 hInitial
Thus, hinitial = hfinal/4 = 0.5/4 = 0.125
For a MERV 6, 2 in. thick, pleated filter at 300 fpm, hInitial = 0.13 in. w.c. (Table 9.7)
V = VRated (hInitial/hRated)0.5 = 300 (0.125/0.13)0.5 = 294 fpm
A = Q V = 1400 cfm 294 fpm = 4.76 ft2
W = 24 in. = 2.0 ft: H = 4.76 ft2 2 ft = 2.38 ft = 29 in.
Use 24 in. 30 in. grille (Table 9.6): TP = 0.024 in. w.c. @ 1431 cfm
TPGrille = TPRated (Q/QRated)2 = 0.024 (1400/1431)2 = 0.023 in. w.c
Problem 9.4
Solution
Repeat Problem 9.3 for room 256 (Appendix C, Figure C.7*).

hFinal 0.5 in. w.c. and recommendation is hFinal 4 hInitial,
thus hInitial hFinal 4 0.5 4 0.125 in. w.c.
For a MERV 6, 2 in. thick, pleated filter at 300 fpm, hInitial = 0.13 in. w.c. (Table 9.7)
V = VRated (hInitial/hRated)0.5 = 300 (0.125/0.13)0.5 = 294 fpm
A = Q V = 2200 cfm 294 fpm = 7.5 ft2
W = 24 in. = 2.0 ft: H = 7.5 ft2 2 ft = 3.75 ft = 45 in.
Use 24 in. 48 in. grille (Table 9.6): TP = 0.024 in. w.c. @ 2307 cfm
TPGrille = TPRated (Q/QRated)2 = 0.024 (2200/2307)2 = 0.022 in. w.c.
Problem 9.5
Select a unit to either fit in the hallway outside room 255 (Appendix C,
Figure C.7*) or above the ceiling (42 in. vertical space) and route metal supply
ductwork with round take-offs and metal return ductwork.

Problem 9.8
Select a fan with a direct-drive motor to provide 1200 cfm at a TSP of 0.8 in. of
water. Specify the required speed tap setting, resulting motor power output, and
estimated required power demand.
Solution
Option 1 (using Table 9.12):

A 1/3 hp motor at high speed (1075 room) will deliver 1540 cfm @ 0.7 in. w.c. and
1080 cfm @ 0.9 in. w.c. Via interpolation for TSP = 0.8 in. w.c. Q = 1310 cfm (at
medium-high flow rate would be 1070 cfm @ 0.8 in. w.c.)
Wfan = 0.33 hp and from Table 11.5, Motor = 63% 63%
Thus, WM,In = 0.746 Wreqd (hp) (Motor VSD) = 0.746 kW/hp 0.33 hp
(0.63 1.0) = 0.39 kW
Option 2 (using Table 9.12):
A 1/2 hp motor at medium-low speed will deliver 1240 cfm @ 0.7 in. w.c. and
1080 cfm @ 0.9 in. w.c. Via interpolation for TSP = 0.8 in. w.c. Q = 1205 cfm
At medium-low speed Wfan = 0.25 hp; no efficiency data provided but Table 11.3 indicates the part-load factor at 50% load (0.25 hp/0.5 hp) of a small motor is 0.86.
From Table 11.5, Motor 70% at full load
WM,In = 0.746 Wreqd (hp) (Motor fPL) = 0.746 kW/hp 0.25 hp 0.70 0.86
= 0.31 kW

Solution
Select a belt-drive fan and motor to provide 2000 cfm at a TSP of 1.2 in. of water.
Specify the required fan pulley diameter for a 1750 rpm motor with a 6 in. diameter drive pulley, resulting motor power output, and estimated required power
demand.
A 1.5 hp fan will deliver 1930 cfm @ 1.2 in. w.c. (too small)
A 2.0 hp fan will deliver 2050 cfm @ 1.2 in. w.c. for:
A fan speed of 1150 rpm
Required 1.5 BHP (which can be delivered by a 2.0 hp motor @ 75% load)
From Table 11.2 Motor = 84%
WM,In = 0.746 Wreqd (hp) (Motor fPL) = 0.746 kW/hp 1.5 hp (0.84 1.0)
= 1.33 kW
DFanPulley = DMotorPulley (rpmM rpmFan) = 6 in. (1750 1150)
= 9.13 in. 9 1/8in.
Problem 9.10
Select a belt-drive fan and motor to provide 7500 cfm at a TSP of 3.25 in. of
water. Specify the required fan pulley diameter for a 1750 rpm motor with an
8 in. diameter drive pulley, resulting motor power output, and estimated
required power demand.
Solution
Interpolating between 3.0 in. w.c and 3.5 in. w.c. for 7500 cfm for a 17R (24.5 in.) fan
rpm = 1955, BHP = 5.9 hp @ 3.25 in. w.c.
Use a 7.5 hp motor, Motor = 88%
WM,In = 0.746 Wreqd (hp) (Motor fPL) = 0.746 kW/hp 5.9 hp (0.88 1.0) = 5.0 kW
DFanPulley = DMotorPulley (rpmM rpmFan) = 8 in. (1750 1955) = 7.16 in. 7-1/8 in.
Problem 9.11
Select a motor and specify the resulting bhp and fan speed to provide 1.2 in. of
water external static pressure (ESP) and 6000 cfm for a Model 180 (Table 5.2 of
this book) rooftop unit. Provide the fan pulley diameter for a 1750 rpm motor
with a 4 in. diameter drive pulley.

Problem 9.14
The fan described in Problem 9.12 is connected to an air distribution system that
has a loss of 1.8 in. of water at 9500 cfm when the dampers are open and 3.0 in. of
water at 5000 cfm when the dampers are set at a minimum opening. Develop a
system curve for both situations (dampers full open and minimum) and find the
resulting flow when the fan is turning 1000, 800, and 600 rpm for both situations
(dampers full open and minimum). Estimate the required power at all six points.
Note: efficiency will remain nearly constant with varying fan speed when the fan
law [h2 = h1 (rpm2/rpm1)2] is applied.
Solution
Fan curve lines represent results of Problem 9.13.

System curve for minimum damper found using:
h = 3.0 (Q/5000)2 = 3.0 (4000/5000)2 = 1.92 in. and h = 3.0 (3000/5000)2
=1.08 ft
System curve for damper open found using:
h =1.8 (Q/9500)2 = 1.8 (8000/9500)2 = 1.28 in. and h = 1.8 (6000/9500)2 = 0.72 in.

Problem 10.1
Solution
Size the piping (Schedule 40 steel) and compute the system head loss for the
(direct-return) chilled water system shown in Figure 10.1 (and Figure 5.10). The
distance between each FCU is 50 ft, and the distance between the last FCU and
the headers is 30 ft. The distance between the first FCU and the chiller is 120 ft.
The chiller head loss is found using the specifications of a Model 060 scroll compressor design (Table 5.10). The fan-coils units are Model 60-HW-4 (Table 5.12).
Use ball valves for all valves 2 in. and smaller and gate valves for larger valves.

Problem 10.2
Select a chilled water pump and corresponding motor for the system described
in Problem 10.1.
Solution
The system requires a pump that will deliver a 160 gpm flow rate and 45 ft of head,
assuming the water treatment program will be good to maintain the condition of the
pipe. In this case, a Model #2-1/2 AB pump (Figure 10.14) with a 7 in. diameter
impeller will provide 46.5 ft of head at 160 gpm. It will require approximately
2.8 bhp, so a 3 hp, 1750 rpm motor will suffice. Note the selected pump will operate
near 73% efficiency, which is near the maximum efficiency point (MEP) of 75.5%.
If the water treatment program is uncertain, the old steel pipe roughness and head loss
(48.4 ft) should be assumed. Although a Model 5x5x9-3/4B pump with a 7-3/4 in,
impeller will provide adequate flow and head, it is not a good choice. Note the efficiency at the resulting operating point is only about 45%well below its MEP of
79.5%. A more extensive set of pump curves should be consulted to select a pump
that will operate at a more favorable efficiency.
Problem 10.3
Solution
Size the piping, compute the required head, and select a pump and motor for the
condenser water loop shown in Figure 10.3. Use the Model 060 chiller from
Problem 10.1 with a flow rate of 200 gpm. Use SDR 11 high-density polyethylene
to eliminate corrosion in this open loop. The distance between the basin and
upper tray in the cooling tower is 12 ft.
Graph (Figure 10.9) and calculation (Equation 10.4) method for HDPE pipe:
200 gpm use 4 in., DR11 pipe h = 3.3 ft/100 ft
h160 = 3.3 ft/100 ft [2 250 + 12 ft + 6 38 ft (90Ls) + 4 5.7 (gate v.)] =

49.0 ft.
The Model 5x5x9-3/4B pump with a 7-3/4 in. impellor will provide 54 ft at 200 gpm
but is not a good choice. Note the efficiency at the resulting operating point is only
about 56%, well below its MEP of 79.5%. A more extensive set of pump curves
should be consulted to select a pump that will operate at a more favorable efficiency.
If the pump is used, a 5 hp/1750 rpm motor is acceptable.

Pump requirement: 31.2 ft of head and 70 gpm

A model 2AC pump with a 6 in. diameter impeller operating at 1750 rpm will provide
34 ft of water at 70 gpm. The pump will require slightly more than 1.0 bhp, so a
1.5 hp, 1750 rpm motor is recommended to avoid overload.

Problem 11.6
Solution
A pump that operates 3000 hours per year and requires 400 gpm and 55 ft of
head is significantly oversized. The curve of the existing pump is shown in Figure
10.12. The impellor diameter is 9.75 in. and the motor is 20 hp. The required
flow rate is attained by throttling the pump discharge valve.
a. Estimate the required horsepower and compute the resulting motor efficiency and power demand at the throttled position.
b. Estimate the required horsepower and compute the resulting motor efficiency and power demand for the 20 hp motor if the pump impellor was
trimmed to a size shown on the curve that provides the needed flow and
head.
c. Estimate the required horsepower and compute the resulting motor efficiency and power demand for the adequately sized motor if the pump
impellor was trimmed.
d. Estimate the annual energy consumption for the three above options.
For a cost of $500 to trim the impellor and $1000 to purchase and replace the
motor, estimate the simple payback for the options in 11.6b and 11.6c.
a. For a Model 5x5x9-3/4 pump with a 9-3/4 in. impeller:
@ 400 gpm, h = 88 ft, pump = 73%
Wreqd = 400 88 ft (3960 0.73) = 12.2 hp
For 20 hp motor, %Load = 12.2 hp 20 hp = 61%
Motor = 91%, fPL = 1.0
WMotorIn = 0.746 12.2 (0.91 1.0) = 10.0 kW
b. For a Model 5x5x9-3/4 pump with an 8-1/4 in. impeller:
@ 400 gpm, h = 55 ft, pump = 75%
Wreqd = 400 55 ft (3960 0.75) = 7.4 hp
For 20 hp motor, %Load = 7.4 hp 20 hp = 37%
Motor = 91%, fPL = 0.96
WMotorIn = 0.746 7.4 (0.91 0.96) = 6.3 kW
c. For a Model 5x5x9-3/4 pump with an 8-1/4 in. impeller and either 7.5 or 10 hp
motor:
@ 400 gpm, h = 55 ft, pump = 75%
Wreqd = 400 55 ft (3960 0.75) = 7.4 hp
For 7.5 hp motor, Motor = 88.5%, fPL = 1.0
WMotorIn = 0.746 7.4 (0.885 1.0) = 6.2 kW
d. For a., E = 3000 h 10 kW = 30,000 kWh
For b., E = 3000 h 6.3 kW = 18,900 kWh
For c., E = 3000 h 6.2 kW = 18,600 kWh

Problem 11.8
Solution
Compare the demand of the resulting design for problem 11.7 with ASHRAE
Standard 90.1-2004 limits for this application.
For 18 bulbs: W = 18 fixtures 62 W/fixture = 1116 W
LPD = 1116 W 1200 ft2 = 0.93 W/ ft2
From Table 11.10, LPDClassroom = 1.4 W/ ft2
Design complies with ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 since 0.93 W/ft2 < 1.4 W/ft2.
Problem 11.9
A 1000 ft2 storage area is currently lit with standard 100-W incandescent bulbs
to an illumination of 30 footcandles for 80 hours per week. Compare the annual
operating cost of using existing bulbs and replacing them with equivalent lighting output compact fluorescent bulbs. Include operating cost (at 8/kWh), cost of
bulbs (at $3.00 each), and installation cost (1 hour at $20/hour labor).
Solution
For 100-W incandescent bulbs that provide 1710 lumens each with an average life of
750 hours:
Luminaries = 30 lumens/ft2 1000 ft2 1710 lumens/bulb = 18 bulbs
W = 18 100 W = 1800 W

A building in Birmingham, Alabama, is occupied five days per week from 8 a.m.
to 8 p.m. During the occupied period, it has a cooling load of 120 MBtu/h at 97F
outside air temperature and a cooling load of 0 MBtu/h at 57F OAT. During the
unoccupied period, it has a cooling load of 40 MBtu/h at 97F outside air temperature and a cooling load of 0 MBtu/h at 57F OAT. In heating, the load is
80 MBtu/h at 17F OAT (occupied), 60 MBtu/h at 17F OAT (unoccupied), and
0 MBtu/h at 47F OAT (occupied and unoccupied). It is cooled by a unit with a
125 MBtu/h capacity and 14 kW demand at 97F and a 141 MBtu/h capacity and
11.4 kW demand at 67F. It is heated by a unit with a 120 MBtu/h heating capacity with an 80% efficiency with a 1.5 hp 82% efficient fan motor. Compute the
annual cost of heating and cooling the building based on 8/kWh in the summer
and 7/kWh in the winter. Natural gas cost is $1.80 per therm (ccf).
See table on following pages.
Find the savings for the system described in Problem 12.7 if the efficiency of the
cooling unit was improved by 20% (same capacity with 20% lower demand), the
efficiency of the furnace is 95%, and the fan is reduced to 1 hp with a 90% efficient motor.
Repeat Problem 12.7 using a heat pump with the same cooling capacity and a
heating capacity of 120 MBtu/h with an input of 11.3 kW at 47F and 55 MBtu/h
with an input of 9.8 kW at 17F.

The added monthly mortgage payment is $62.17, but the savings is only $40 per
month. However, the cost of energy is inflating at a higher rate compared to inflation
and the monthly note is fixed, so after 12 years the owner begins to receive a positive
return if he/she plans on owning the home for this extended period and the life of the
energy efficiency package is more than 12 years. Given the frequency of moving to a
new home for the typical US family, this would be a marginal investment.

Copyright ASHRAE
Repeat Problem 12.10 for an energy inflation rate of 4%.

When problem 12.10 is repeated with an energy inflation rate of 4% rather than 8%,
the investment will require 27 years to receive a positive return. Even though the
mortgage payment is fixed, the energy inflation rate is low compared to inflation, so
the payback period is extended.
