Quiz

1. Draw the basic comfort zone and the extended comfort zones for indoor air velocities of
0.5m/s and 0.8 m/s with a neutrality temperature of 27°C
a) With a band width of 2°C on either side
b) With a band width of 3.5°C on either side
2. An industrial park has been proposed to promote electronic industry close to Meerigama
area. This consists of factory buildings and a main office building. Most of the factory
buildings will be single storey and few will be two storey. In one of the single storey
factories, the width is 15.0 m. The length is 42.0 m. The layout is shown in Figure.
a) It was decided to use split type air conditioners for this single storey factory. There will
be 100 workers in the assembly line. There will be five supervisors as well. The lights
have been provided with LED lamps consuming 3 W/m2. The equipment in the
assembly line is expected to consume about W/m2. The roof is provided with a ceiling
that has reflective type insulation. Determine the capacity of the air conditioning system
needed. The size of the windows is 1.5 m height x 2.4 m length.
b) Estimate the electricity consumption of the air conditioners, you are expected to assume
a suitable coefficient performance for the split type machines.
