Air-conditioning Design Assignment Question [25 marks]

Table below listed the condition of atmospheric air before and to be achieved after going through an air-
conditioning process or processes.
Before air-conditioning To be achieved after air-conditioning
Case 1 Dry bulb Temperature, Tdb = 30oC
Relative humidity, Ø = 45%
Case 2 Dry bulb Temperature, Tdb = 18oC
Relative humidity, Ø = 40%
Case 3 Dry bulb Temperature, Tdb = 35oC
Relative humidity, Ø = 80%

You are required to design an air conditioning process or processes for all the 3 cases above separately
when the pressure of atmospheric air is at 1.0 atmospheric and the volumetric flow rate of the
atmospheric air is 10m3/ min.

a) Sketch a schematic of equipment/s for process/processes of your design for case 1, case 2 and
case 3 and name the process/processes you have designed. (8 marks)
b) Analyze and determine the amount of water removal/added rate, and/or the amount of heat
added/removal rate for the process/processes of your design for case 1. (3 marks)
c) Analyze and determine the amount of water removal/added rate, and/or the amount of heat
added/removal rate for the process/processes of your design for case 2. (5 marks)
d) Analyze and determine the amount of water removal/added rate, and/or the amount of heat
added/removal rate for the process/processes of your design for case 3. (3 marks)
e) Sketch the process path for the air conditioning process/ processes you have designed for case
1, case 2 and case 3 on a Psychrometric chart. You may download the Psychrometric Chart from
“google”. (6 marks)
