Pre-requisite : Nil
Course Objectives
1. To study the fundamentals of Psychrometry and its application in Air-conditioning
2. To learn about the different air conditioning systems that are in practical use
3. To familiarize with the basics of air movement and circulation in various systems
4. To gain knowledge on cooling load calculation and on designs for different industrial air-
conditioning systems

evaporative coolers, air handling unit (AHU), fan coil unit.
Air-conditioning systems; unitary equipments, split unit; packaged systems,
Central air-conditioning systems- all air, all water and air-water systems, 3 and 4 pipe system,
constant volume, variable temperature systems, multi zone, dual duct; dual air, induction fan coil
systems.
Air movement in rooms, air jets, air distribution devices;
Duct design - noise and noise control; Control systems used in air conditioning plants.
Estimation of cooling load (ASHRAE or CARRIER method).
