Cooling Load Calculation

CLTD/CLF method is used to calculate the cooling load of the building. Since window type air conditioning system is used in the residential building and the size are usually determined by the occupants, the CLTD/CLF method will only apply to LG/F to G/F which are central air-conditioned.
Assumption made 1. Indoor design condition : 25 Cdb, 50 %Rh Outdoor design Condition: 33Cdb, 28Cwb 2. Cooling load at August 15:00, 16:00 and 17:00 3.

ADPI = 83 For ADPI greater than 80, Range of T0.25/L = 0.7-1.3 The characteristic length (L) is 3m Range of T0.25 = 2.1m - 3.6m and so the selection is satisfy Also, supply air flow rate for one diffuser = total air flow rate / number of diffusers Supply air flow rate for one diffuser = 0.37 / 3 = 0.12m3/s. = 210cfm

With the range of T0.25 = 2.1m to 3.6m and supply air flow rate at each diffuser =210cfm, diffuser can be selected from the various catalogue.

Sizing of Fan-coil Unit


According to the area and the function of various room, the cooling loads are different from others. However, the inlet air and water temperature( 17oC, 7oC) are the same. So, base on the inlet condition and room cooling loads, fan-coil can be selected. The examples below show the procedure of the selection.

Total number of people in the air-conditioned space = 185 The total required fresh air flow rate = 185 x 0.01 = 1.85 m3/s So, the required capacity of the PAU (QT) the required sensible load (QS) SHR = 1.85 x 1.2 x (89-45) = 100 kW = 1.85 x 1.2 x (33-17) = 33.5 kW = 0.34

With regard from that, a PAU can be selected based on the following procedure: Unitsize selection Form the Quick Selection Chart, for SHR < 0.6, The maximum face velocity = 2.5m/s The air supply flow rate = 1.85m3/s = 6666m3/s Assumption: Air Entering Temperature : 27oCdb, 19oCwb Water entering /leaving temp. : 7oC, 12oC Coil distance : 2.1 mm From the catalogue, Interklima, unitsize 20 is used Number of coil rows :6 Total cooling capacity : 106.5 Sensible cooling capacity : 81.7 Water flow : 18151 l/hr Water pressure drop : 13.4kPa Air pressure drop on coil : 103 Pa Pressure drop on PAU Mixing Box : 31 Pa Plenum : 12.5 Pa Bag Filters (85%): 125 Pa Pre Filters : 50 Pa Coil : 103 Pa Total : 321.5 Pa

Pressure drop of the duct + fitting Pressure drop in the critical path for air duct = Sectional Pressure(SP) at 18 + SP at 16 x SP at 14 + SP at 12 + SP at 10 + SP at 7 + SP at 6 + SP at 4 + SP at 1 = 13.9 + 5.8 + 20 + 6.7 + 18.3 + 10.8 + 9.8 + 32.1 + 5 + 3 = 125Pa Thus, the total pressure drop in air side = 321.5 Pa + 125 Pa = 446.5 Pa Air Pressure Drop on coil From the catalogue, the air pressure drop at coil is 110Pa.

Water Side Pressure Drop From the catalogue, for water flow rate=18151 l/h, the water pressure drop at coil is 14kPa. Fan Performance Curve The total pressure drop = 446.5 Pa, and also the volume flow rate is 1.85m3/s Based on the catalogue, two fan are selected and their performance index are shown as below: Model Efficiency (%) Fan Power (kW) Fan speed (rpm) Noise Level ( dB) H-560 0.79 0.9 800 48 H630 0.67 0.95 680 56

From the above table, the performance including efficiency, power and noise level of H-560 are better than that of H-630. Therefore, H-560 are selected as the PAU pump. Dimension Size of Fan : Modal H-630 = 790mm(L) x 790mm(W) Size of PAU : Unitsize 20 Height = 1600mm Weight = 1600mm Lenght = Length of fan section + Lenght of coil setion + length of filter + length of mixing box = 1900 + 700 + 300 + 1000 = 3600 mm

Pump Selection
To select a suitable pump for water side equipment, two data must be calculated: 1. The total pressure drop along the critical path. 2. The total volume flow rate of the system and the pumps 1. Criterical Path Total pressure drop along the criteria path: The pipings and fittings loss (on Critical Path) The PAU coil friction loss The chiller pressure drop The total pressure loss = 65.2 kPa = 14 kPa = 20 kPa = 99.2 kPa

For safety function, 10% safety margin are added. Hence, the total pressure loss = 99.2 x 10% = 110kPa = 11 mH 2. Volume flow rate of each pumps As calculated before, the total cooing load of the system is 61 tons and two 31 tons(106kW) are adopted. Therefore, By Q = m x CPW x T, The volume flow rate of the chiller = 106.58 / {4200x(12.5-7)} = 4.6 l/s = 16.6m3/s The volume flow rate of the each pump is 4.6 l/s. Based on the above data, the pump is selected as below:
