Transmission Load of Air Conditioning (Onboard) System Calculation Report

PRELIMINARY
I. Introduction
Most of the ships that are built today are based on traditional design concepts. Improvements
are observed in simple components such as the engine and the propeller; but this does not apply
to the ship as a complete system. Many shipbuilders concentrate and make efforts to improve
capacity but, unfortunately, they still consume a lot of fuel unnecessarily. The shipbuilding
industry makes very little effort to reduce operational costs for new vessels or for repaired
vessels, as the builder is not responsible for the fuel bill; in general, little time and resources are
devoted to monitoring and controlling the use of energy on board ships. Poor energy knowledge
and the absence of a systematic control are the two main barriers to improving energy efficiency
in ships. An important tool to overcome this barrier is the conversion of energy flow into
monetary flow (money).

Air conditioning in ships is very important for the transported goods as well as for the crew.
The onboard air conditioning provides the crew with a comfortable climate for carrying out their
daily tasks. Simultaneously, the machinery and cargo onboard ships need to be provided with
fresh and cool air as well. In this report are calculated and analyzed air conditioning system on
the ship KM Safitri Putro project based on the general arrangement of the ship. This calculation is
to find out how much the total transmission load of air conditioning system on this ship project so
that it can be a reference for the next division in choosing the right ducting or cooling machine.

 II. Methods
The transmission load (onboard) calculation is carried out using the method as following:
o The calculation refers to the ship's general arrangement of KM Safitri Putro Oil
Tanker by Warogo Safitri Putro Project. Measurement done by measuring each side of
the room on the ship (length, width, and height). Then do the scaling on that size.
o Data processing using Microsoft Excel while after measuring, then get the size of the
room on the ship (length, width, and height). Then input data into Microsoft Excel. In
Microsoft Excel, the calculation of (area room, heat transfer coefficient concerning
Tables 1, 2 and 3 (Attached on appendix A) , ∆T, heat flow passing through the
room).

 ANALYSIS AND CALCULATION

IV. TRANSMISSION LOAD CALCULATION

The calculation starts by finding the area of each side of the room. The rooms area calculated
are the rooms that occupies each deck on the ship. After each area is found, the next step is to
determine the U or the overall heat transfer coefficient, which refers to tables 1, 2, and 3
(Appendix A) After determining the U value, then determine the temperature change in each
room. This determination can refer to a predetermined standard. The temperature of each
condition is different, such as those adjacent to the engine room, sun exposure, in addition to the
cold room and various other conditions. For ease of calculation, Microsoft Excel is used in this
case. The calculations are attached in a separate document on Microsoft Excel.

V. TRANSMISSION LOAD ANALYSIS

The calculations are done on the main deck, poop deck, navigation deck, bridge deck, and
boat deck. There are 44 rooms in all decks counted. On the main deck the total transmission load
is 2753 Btu/h. For the poop deck 1449.23 Btu/h. On the boat deck 573.03 Btu/h. The navigation
deck has a transmission load of 145.754 Btu/h. While the bridge deck has 266.543 Btu/h. So, the
total of all deck’s transmission load is 5188.3 Btu/h. The highest transmission load is on the main
deck with 2753 Btu/h and the lowest transmission load is on navigation deck with 145.754 Btu/h.

 Conclusions and Suggestions

VI. Conclusions
1. Based on the results of calculations from measurements in the general arrangement of
KM Safitri Putro Oil Tanker Ship and data input in Microsoft Excel, that the heat flow
through the room is obtained from the calculation of the heat transfer coefficient, the area
room, and the temperature difference that passes through the room divider.
2. The calculation has been done and has a total value of transmission load on all deck is
5188.3 Btu/h.
3. The transmission load of a room depends on the temperature and location of the room.
4. All calculation results are attached to Microsoft Excel.

VII. Suggestions
1. A complete and precise general arrangement of ships is needed because in the general
arrangement carried out by engineers for the calculation of transmission load there are
still some conditions of ship space that are not in the applicable standards. So that in the
future the supervisor design division must evaluate more and more thoroughly.
2. The selection of a cooling machine by the mechanical division after the personal load
calculation must exceed the calculation for safety needs. However, if the division is able
to modify the machines used, it can be considered about the efficiency and economics in
terms of energy consumption required.
