I. INTRODUCTION

Air conditioning is the process of treating air, to control simultaneously its

temperature, humidity, cleanliness and distribution to meet the requirements

of the space to be conditioned.

The purpose of air conditioning is to control the temperature, humidity,

filtration, and air movement of the indoor environment. The atmospheric air

always contains moisture in the form of water vapor, but the maximum

amount of water vapor that may be contained in the air depends on its

temperature and so the higher the temperature, the more water vapor that can

be contained in it. At high temperatures and moisture content levels,

extreme discomfort is experienced as the evaporation of moisture from the

body into the atmosphere by the process of perspiration becomes difficult.

The term “humidity ratio” indicates the mass of water vapor present per

kilogram of dry air, whereas the term “relative humidity” is the ratio between

the actual moisture content of the air and the moisture content of the air

required for saturation at the same temperature. The purpose of comfort

conditioning is solely to provide a comfortable environment for the majority of

occupants. Humans are reasonably tolerant to humidity and may be

comfortable from a range of between 55% and 20% relative humidity at

normal comfort temperatures.

In air conditioning, the humidification of air to increase the moisture

content is achieved by the use of a humidifier, and in reverse, the moisture

content of the air is reduced by a dehumidification process. The independent

control of the air temperature by heating and cooling processes and of relative

humidity by the humidifying and dehumidifying processes constitutes full air

conditioning, but this control is not always exercised. The more often used

vapor compression refrigeration equipment is capable of cooling and then

dehumidifying.

Ventilation systems deliver conditioned air to occupied spaces. Depending

on the building type, ventilation air may be comprised of 100% outside air,

such as in a laboratory building, or some mixture of re-circulated interior air

and outside air.

The ventilation system or air-handling unit of a home is frequently referred

to as the HVAC system. The HVAC system consists of the mechanical and

functional components of duct work, air filter, air conditioning, and heating

unit. The primary functions of the HVAC system are cooling, heating, and

humidification; maintenance of overall comfort, odor control; and maintenance

of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels at acceptable concentrations. HVAC

systems in some homes are installed to service zones. As the number and

size of zones increase, so does the cost of ventilation. A zone is typically

defined by the presence of a thermostat.

Understanding HVAC functioning is critical to indoor air quality

evaluations. HVAC systems for commercial and industrial operations often

have an outside air intake on the top or side of a building that brings outdoor

air inside. The outdoor air is then mixed with recirculated air from the

occupied area. The mixed air usually passes through a filter to remove gross

contaminants. This filtered air then passes through a fan, which creates a

positive pressure, forcing the air through coils that either cool or heat. A drain

pan beneath the coils collects water that condenses on the cooling coil. Air

leaving the coil may be humidified or dehumidified depending on the

circumstances. The supplied air then travels from the distribution box through

small ducts to terminal ducts and diffusers and from there into the rooms. The

supplied air migrates throughout the room and eventually enters an air return

vent, also called a plenum, where it is recirculated or exhausted outdoors.

II. DESIGN OF AIR CONDITIONING UNIT

A. INTRODUCTION

When selecting the proper type of conditioning system to be used for the

space chosen, factors should be considered to make sure the comfort of the

occupants. The dimension (length, width, height) of the room should be

measured and also the components of the walls, if there are any insulation

present, along with the installed windows (single or double-glazed) or doors.

Sunlit areas of windows and walls are to be examined. Depending on the type

of room to be conditioned, elements like the appliances, lighting, and products

that produces heat should also be acknowledged to compute the heat loss

within the room. Aside from looking at the number of people occupying the

room and what activities they do, infiltration of air from outside should be also

dealt with.

The group had decided to use split-type air conditioning system. This type

of system consists of an outdoor and indoor unit. The outside unit composed

of the the condenser, the compressor, and the fan while the inside has the

cooling coil, blower and air filter.

A great advantage of this type of cooling system is the reduction of noise.

Systems like window-type cooling system produce noise since the

compressor installed with other components in the wall, unlike in split-type

where these components are located outside the room, thus reducing the

noise produced. Also, this type of air conditioning system requires lesser

space compared to other types and is recommended since small holes (for
wiring and tubing) are needed.
