VENTILATION

AIR CONDITIONING
 Air conditioning and refrigeration are provided through the removal
of heat. Air conditioning refers to the sensible and latent cooling of
air. Sensible cooling involves the control of air temperature while
latent cooling involves the control of air humidity.

WHAT IS AN AIR CONDITIONER ?
‾Air conditioning (often referred to as AC, A/C) is the process of removing heat and moisture from
the interior of an occupied space to improve the comfort of occupants. Air conditioning can be
used in both domestic and commercial environments.

‾ An Air Conditioning is like refrigeration process with out a insulated box ; it evaporates refrigerant ,
to prevent cooling by using gas as refrigerant (Freon Gas)

‾ An air conditioner is a system or a machine that treats air in a defined, usually enclosed area via a
refrigeration cycle in which warm air is removed and replaced with cooler air. In construction, a
complete system of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning is referred to as HVAC.

 SCHEMATIC AIR CONDITIONING LAYOUT
Elements of Air Conditioning system
COPRESSOR
A pump that moves refrigerant
between the evaporator and
condenser to chill indoor air
OUTDOOR UNIT
Expansion Valve
Removes pressure from liquid
refrigerant, turns into vapor to
enter evaporator
EVAPORATOR Coil
Cooling coil removes heat
and humidity from the air
by using refrigerant
INDOOR UNIT

FAN
A fan blows air over BLOWER
the condenser to A blower (for fan )
throw the heat circulate air over
outside evaporator, spreading
the chilled air

CONDENSER Coil
Hot coils release collected
heat into the outside air

TYPES OF AIR CONDITINING SYSTEM

WINDOW AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
 Window air conditioning system consist of components like compressor, condenser, expansion
valve and evaporator , all housed in one box.
 Room air conditioners cool rooms rather than the entire home.

 Small unit can fit in window opening.

 Less expensive to operate than central system. (single socket connection)

 Their efficiency is generally lower than that of central air conditioners can condition lesser floor
space.
 Used in single rooms and in low requirement

CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
 Circulate cool air through a system of supply and
return ducts. Supply ducts and registers (i.e., openings
in the walls, floors, or ceilings covered by grills) carry
cooled air from the air conditioner to the home
 Using electricity as power source the compressor
pumps refrigerant through the system to gather heat
and moisture from indoors and removes it( hot air)
from inside of structure.
 This cooled air becomes warmer as it circulates
through the home; then it blown over the cooled
indoor coil of central air conditioner and heat that is
transferred to the coil is then pumped through return
ducts and registers.
 Their efficiency is generally higher than that of room
air conditioners.
 Used in large scale structure like hotels, commercial
buildings, offices etc.

 Most important component of centralized air conditioning system is Air Handling Unit – AHU

 This works as central station from where the air get supplied to the specific area of building .

 Handling means that the sir will be delivered into the building space with treatment with improved
indoor air quality (IQA).
 The accuracy of treatment will be dependent from specificity of each project e.g office, school,
laboratories etc. this means the AHU treats air by filtering cooling and or heating, humidifying or
dehumidifying. AHU can be of different types Compact, modular, low profile, roof top mounted etc.
4 Types of Central Air Conditioning Systems
The four types of central air conditioning systems include; split systems, heat pumps, packaged central
air conditioners, and ductless mini-split systems.
