Pengkondisian Udara
• Air conditioning adalah proses mengubah
udara menjadi sesuai dengan kondisi sekitar
yang menimbulkan kenyamanan dengan cara
pendistribusian udara ditempat yang
ditentukan.

TYPES OF AIR CONDITIONERS
• Room air conditioners
• Central air conditioning systems
• Heat pumps
• Evaporative coolers

Room air conditioner
• Room air conditioners cool rooms rather than the
entire home.
• Less expensive to operate than central units
• Their efficiency is generally lower than that of central
air conditioners.
• Can be plugged into 15amp, 220-240-volt household
circuit that is not shared with any other major
appliances
• Are usually split or window units
10
Large air conditioning systems
• Outside air is drawn in, filtered
and heated before it passes
through the main air
conditioning devices. The
colored lines in the lower part
of the diagram show the
changes of temperature and of
water vapor concentration (not
RH) as the air flows through the
system.

Sizing Air Conditioners

Energy Consumption
• Air conditioners are rated by the number of British
Thermal Units (Btu) of heat they can remove per
hour. Another common rating term for air
conditioning size is the "ton," which is 12,000 Btu per
hour.
• Room air conditioners range from 5,500 Btu per hour
to 14,000 Btu per hour.
14
Energy Efficiency
• Today's best air conditioners use 30% to 50%
less energy than 1970s
• Even if your air conditioner is only 10 years
old, you may save 20% to 40% of your cooling
energy costs by replacing it with a newer,
more efficient model
15
Energy Efficiency
• Rating is based on how many Btu per hour are
removed for each watt of power it draws
• For room air conditioners, this efficiency rating is the
Energy Efficiency Ratio, or EER
• For central air conditioners, it is the Seasonal Energy
Efficiency Ratio, or SEER
16
Room Air Conditioners
• Built after January 1, 1990, need have an EER
of 8.0 or greater
– EER of at least 9.0 if you live in a mild climate
– EER over 10 for warmer climates
17
Central AC
• National minimum standards for central air
conditioners require a SEER of
– 9.7 for single-package and
– 10.0 for split-systems
– Units are available with SEERs reaching nearly 17

Energy Saving Methods
• Locate the air conditioner in a window or wall
area near the center of the room and on the
shadiest side of the house.
• Minimize air leakage by fitting the room air
conditioner snugly into its opening and sealing
gaps with a foam weather stripping material.

• Variable fresh air mixer and dust and pollutant
filtration.
• Supplementary heating with radiators in the
outer rooms and individual mini heater and
• Humidifier in the air stream to each room.
