 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I wished to express my profound gratitude and special appreciation to those who help

me in various ways for the completion of this design especially to the following:

To Engr. Christian M. Mortel, our instructor, who helped us unselfishly and for his

excellent advices in the field of designing an air conditioning for residential buildings.

Indeed, my learning experiences were fruitful.

To my parents who are always there for financial and moral support as well as

inspiration that become my source of endurance to complete and finish design.

To my classmates who shared their scholastic ideas and advices in accomplishing this

design. Thank you also for being together during the time I encountered difficulties.

Above all, to almighty God who endowed us the strength, wisdom and knowledge

throughout the duration of this design and for his immeasurable love and infinite

understanding.
 DEDICATION

This Air Conditioning Design of Four Storey Residential Building is heartily dedicated to our

Almighty God who has been the source of knowledge, patience, understanding and strength in

accomplishing this work.

To a special feeling of gratitude to our loving parents whose words of encouragement and

push for tenacity ring in our ears that who have never failed to give us a financial and moral

support, for giving all our needs during the time we developed our system and for teaching us

even the largest task can be accomplished if it is done one step at a time.

To Engr. Christian M. Mortel, our instructor, who imparted his knowledge and thoughts to

us and for the challenges in dealing with this design for the improvement of everyone.

To our friends and classmate, who have been parts of making this work, and for serving as

my motivation in accomplishing this one.

INTRODUCTION

Air conditioning (often referred to as air on, AC or A/C) is the process of altering the
properties of air (primarily humidity and temperature) to favourable conditions, typically with
the aim of disturbing the conditioned air to an occupied space is to improve comfort. In the
most general sense, air conditioning can refer to any form of technology humidification, de-
humidification, heating, cooling, cleaning, ventilation, or air movement that modifies the
condition of air.
In general, the air conditioner is a device (most commonly a home appliance or automobile
system) that lowers air temperature. The cooling is most done using a refrigeration cycle, but
sometimes the evaporation is used, commonly for the comfort of cooling in buildings and
motor vehicles. In construction, a complete system of heating, ventilation and air conditioning
is referred to as “HVAC”.
Air conditioning can also be provided by the simple process called free cooling which uses
pumps to circulate a coolant (typically or a glycol mix) from a cold source, which in turn acts as
a heat sink for the energy that is removed from the cooled space. The free cooling systems can
have very high efficiencies and are sometimes combined with seasonal thermal energy storage
(STES), so that the cold of the winter can be used for summer air conditioning. Common storage
media are the deep aquifers/a natural underground rock mass accessed via heat exchanger
equipped boreholes with a cluster of small diameter. Some systems with small storage are
hybrids, using free cooling early in the season, and later employing a heat pump to cool the
circulation from the storage. During the cooling season the temperature of the storage
gradually increases, so the heat pump is added-in, thereby declining in effectiveness. Free
cooling and hybrid systems are mature technology.
The total heat required is to be removed from the space in order to bring it at the desired
temperature by the air conditioning and refrigeration known as the cooling load.
The purpose of load estimation is to determine the size of the refrigeration and air
conditioning equipment that is required to maintain inside design conditions.
 The design load of air conditioning system is based on inside and outside design conditions
and its air conditioning and refrigeration equipment capacity to produce and maintain
satisfactory inside conditions.
