General Introduction

Suitable and comfortable lifestyle has been and still is the mankind desire, since it provides us
with pleasant and appropriate conditions to complete our daily tasks and manage our needs.
Having a fitting and convenient atmosphere is one of these desires, and for that comes “air
conditioning”.

According to historians, primitive air conditioning passive techniques have existed since the
prehistoric period. By the 20th century, this field started witnessing major upgrades by the
invention of the first ever air conditioning unit. In the present day, this device has
experienced major developments as the development of its various forms and applications has
expanded.

The term "air conditioning" refers to a group of technologies and processes for providing
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) of which the objective is to produce a
better air quality by removing heat and controlling humidity. Installing this system needs a
study beforehand in order to comply with regulations and standards in order to reduce energy
losses, as well as selecting the appropriate equipment and materials.

As a result, we chose to work with "HVAC ENGINEERING" to develop the air conditioning
system lot's study and design.

This report will be including 4 chapters:

 The first chapter is dedicated to present the host company and the textile company
 The second chapter is dedicated to the internship where I’ll be reporting the steps that
have been taken and the missions that have been accomplished during this internship
 The third chapter will include a brief presentation to the air conditioning systems that
were chosen for this establishment.
 The last chapter will include two studies: First study is about calculating the heat balance
and determining the perfect sizing for the air conditioning system.
The second is about sanitary plumbing where we will determine the pipe sizing for cold
and sanitary hot water supply and evacuation of wastewater.

1.3 Presentation of the company

The textile industry is an economic activity that involves the production of yarns, fibers,
textiles, and other materials used in the clothing industry.

This industry includes the production of clothing, shoes, and other accessories that people use
to dress.

Because of its massive global workforce, the textile industry stands out among other
industries. It can also be set up anywhere in the world at the lowest cost per man-hour of labor
because it only requires lightweight machines.

The textile company that we are interested in is located in Kondar, Sousse.

1.4 The Textile Industry's Characteristics

The textile industry has the following main characteristics:

 It's categorized as a "lighter" industry. This is because, in comparison to other


industries such as mining or metallurgy, it does not require large quantities of
materials.

3
Internship Razane Chatti

 It combines natural materials such as cotton and wool with synthetic materials
such as polyester and nylon.
 Its products are consumed in large quantities throughout the year.

It is part of the economy's secondary sector, which converts raw materials into
completed goods for the end user.

 It is a closely related industry to the fashion sector, and it is from this industry
that fashion trends are recommended. These, in turn, vary depending on the
country or area.
 Seasonal variations in demand typically require styles of clothing.

1.5 The stages of production

The following are the main manufacturing steps [1]:

 The technical data: It is an essential document for agreeing on the details and specificities
of each piece in the collection. It includes clothing design documents.
 Purchase materials for a variety of tests: Before purchasing the appropriate materials,
various tests are required.
 Development of models: There are three parts to this step:
1. the needed materials and supplies are pre-selected
2. the patterns for each piece of clothing is drawn
3. cutting and sewing the cloth to transform the idea into a technical model
 Prototype and testing: Prototypes are sewn and tested on mannequins, to ensure that the
clothes are portable and perfectly match the main idea. Also the ordered supplies are put
to the test.
 Final selection before production: In this step, the needed materials are validated while
the unfit models will be rejected.
 Purchase of raw materials
 Gradation
 Pre-production at the manufacturer: It is done to ensure that each model is correctly
constructed.
 Mass production

4
Internship Razane Chatti

 Quality control and validation of the product: The product is tested for compatibility with
the technical file as well as timeliness.
 Buyers' delivery: The products are then supplied to the buyers who pre-ordered them.

CHAPTER 2: The internship


2.1 Introduction:

In this chapter, I will be reporting on the activities I've taken and the missions during my
internship, I will be reporting on the steps I've taken and the missions I've fulfilled during my
internship.

2.2 The activities:

Due to the unfortunate circumstances caused by the Corona Virus, I was unable the chance to
explore the host company; however, I was able to contact the team who provided me all
needed information and instructions to get started.

 As a first action, I took the time to examine the textile factory’s plans: the spaces,
window and door numbers, the building’s elements … I also searched its location such
as geographical coordinates, latitude and longitude and so on.
 My second action was to divide this big company into two zones: administration and
workshops to simplify the big plan and to have a better vision for the air conditioning
systems that would be installed later on.
 The following action was to calculate the proper duct sizes that I could sketchthe air
conditioning system with the accurate measurements.
 The following step was devoted to conducting bibliographic research and initiating a
heat balance database for each zone, allowing me to select appropriate air conditioning
systems.
 My final step was to write the report and deliver it to my supervisors so that I could
improve and boost my work.

2.3 Internship missions

Being a part of this internship, I had the opportunity to develop and expand my knowledge
about this field, as well as to search for the appropriate air conditioning systems.

Furthermore, this opportunity allowed me to closely examine any potential issues that may
occur during the project and find appropriate solutions. This allowed me to put my knowledge
into practice such as:

 MICROSOFT OFFICE (Word and Excel)


6
Internship Razane Chatti

 Duct Sizer
 AUTOCAD 2021

Because it was my first time shifting from the educational to the professional sector, my
experience had its significant challenges and difficulties.

2.4 Conclusion:

Being a part of this internship gave me the opportunity to become more responsible and
organized when it comes to my working methods.

Aside from the difficulties that I encountered, during this period I had the chance to use my
theoretical and practical training that I learned during my academic years and to enhance my
knowledge.

Time management, decision making and adaptability are some qualities that I developed
while searching and collecting information.

This experience provided me with the opportunity to promote my skills especially


communication.

Working on different programs also evolved my expertise and ability which it will be
valuable to my future career.

In the second chapter, I discussed the different steps taken to complete my internship and its
various missions.

CHAPTER 3: Literature and Theory


3.1 Introduction

This chapter will be divided into 3 parts: First, we'll go over the various air conditioning
systems that have been selected for this project, including the multi-split system (MS) and the
packaged rooftop unit (PRU). The operation, advantages and disadvantages of such systems
will be discussed, as well as the features of internal components. After that, I'll describe how
to determine the heat balance for both zones, administration and workshop, using a
mathematical theory model equation.

3.2 Literature

3.2.1 Multi-Split system

 Brief history

Willis H. Carrier, an American inventor, invented the first modern electrical air conditioning
unit in 1901, and 1902 would be the year of the first installed air conditioning system that
could control both temperature and humidity.

Stuart W. Cramer began looking for techniques to introduce moisture to the air in order to
benefit his textile mill in 1906, as the humidity level in the textile plants is critical. Cramer
has blended moisture and ventilation in the past. Willis Carrier later used this strategy.

The first individual room air conditioning system was invented by H.H Schultz and J.Q
Sherman in 1931[2].

The first multi-split air conditioning system was created in 1973 “DAIKIN”, the first Japanese
company to manufacture packaged air conditioning systems since 1951. By 1982, DAIKIN
has developed the first commercial multi-split air conditioners in the world.

 Principle of operation

A multi-split air conditioner is a form of split air conditioner that can cool up to five zones at
once and connects one external compressor to four or five internal air outputs using
refrigerant lines rather than a complicated duct system. In addition to the refrigerant tubing,

8
Internship Razane Chatti

the interior air outputs are connected to the outdoor unit via condensate drain lines and.
electrical wires.

Figure 3: A Multi-Split air conditioner

The multi-split has a single condenser with a bigger cooling capacity and size. The intelligent
control board in the multi-split condenser receives and delivers signals from and to each of its
evaporators. All of the evaporators connected to the multi-split condenser can communicate
with one another and be controlled.

An inverter compressor is constantly present in a multi-split air conditioner. The condenser of


a multi-split air conditioner distributes refrigerant to each of its evaporators based on the
signals provided by each evaporator. The multi-split air conditioner can run even if just one of
the evaporators is turned on.

Figure 4: The function of a Multi-Split air conditioner

9
Internship Razane Chatti

 Refrigeration

The goal of a refrigeration cycle is to absorb and reject heat. You can't make cold, but you can
remove heat. The refrigeration cycle, also known as a heat pump cycle, is a method of
directing heat away from the area that needs to be cooled. This is performed by compressing
and expanding the working refrigerant's pressure (air, water, synthetic refrigerants, etc.).

The following components are required for this processor:

- The compressor
- The condenser
- The expansion valve
- The evaporator

Figure 5: Refrigeration process

The first step in the refrigeration cycle is compression, and a compressor is the piece of
equipment that increases the working gas's pressure. The refrigerant enters the compressor ata
low-pressure, low-temperature and exits as a high-pressure, high-temperature gas.

In a basic refrigeration loop, the condenser is one of two types of heat exchangers. This
component receives vaporized, high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant from the
compressor.

The condenser is a device that removes heat from a heated refrigerant vapor gas until it
condenses into a saturated liquid form, also known as condensation.

10
Internship Razane Chatti

The refrigerant transforms into a high-pressure, low-temperature liquid after condensing,


which is thereafter injected into the loop's expansion mechanism.

The purpose of the expansion device in a system is to create a pressure drop. As a result of the
pressure reduction, some of the refrigerant will boil quickly, resulting in a two-phase mixture.

In a conventional refrigeration circuit, the evaporator is the second heat exchanger. The goal
of the final phase of the refrigeration cycle is to absorb heat.

When refrigerant enters the evaporator as a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid, and a fan
blows air through the evaporator's fins, the air is cooled by the refrigerant absorbing heat from
the place in question. After that, the refrigerant is reintroduced to the compressor, and the
process starts again.

 Comparison of a Multi-Split AC system and Split AC system

Outdoor and indoor devices are used in both single and multi-split units. The condenser and
compressor, which make up the outdoor unit, are usually placed outside your home. The inner
device is made up of the evaporator and, in most cases, the furnace. The two portions are
connected via a refrigerant line.

Only one interior unit is connected to the outdoor compressor in a single split air conditioner.
Multi-split air conditioners have many indoor units that are linked to the outdoor unit. As a
result, the initial expenses of multi split systems are greater since more units are required, as
well as longer and more sophisticated pipelines [3].

that are unique to each household
setting.

3.2.2 Packaged Rooftop Unit

 Principle of operation

A packaged rooftop unit is a system that combines all of the elements required for heating and
cooling into one unit. This type of HVAC system is usually found on commercial buildings,
especially retail and industrial properties.

Rooftop units are connected to ductwork which provides a path for conditioned air to follow
so it will be distributed to certain parts of the building.

12
Internship Razane Chatti

Figure 7: A rooftop unit


Table 3: Rooftop unit types and characterizations

RTU type Function


A basic RTU: The air is pulled from the outside by the fan.

During this process, the air will pass by the


dumpers, filters and coils and then
distributed throughout the ductwork to the
building.

RTU recirculation A return air damper is included in this


design. This will act in conjunction with the
intake damper, and the two will adjust their
positions to change the amount of fresh and
return air traveling through the unit. Because
the structure would otherwise fill up with
carbon dioxide and generate an unhealthy
atmosphere, there will always be a certain
amount of fresh air entering. The fan's
suction will pull air in from the ducting when
the damper opens. No air will be pulled in
when the damper is closed.
RTU recirculation and discharge We have a return air damper in this design,
but this time some or all of the air can be
rejected to atmosphere. How much air is
rejected and how much is mixed and
recirculated is determined by the temperature
of the outside air and return air, as well as the
CO2 content of the return air. When the
outside air temperature is below or close to
the desired indoor temperature, 100% fresh
air can be blown into the building and none

13
Internship Razane Chatti

of it will be recirculated; instead, all of it will


be rejected as the cooling demand is met.
RTU with heat wheel

Fresh air will be pulled by the air hood. The


air amount is controlled by the damper.

Next, the pulled air passes through a filter


and then through a heat wheel.

The heat wheel, a rotating heat exchanger,


catches the wasted hot or cold air from the
return discharge air and transfers it over the
incoming fresh air without the mixing of the
two air streams.

 Rooftop Unit components

Table 4: RTU components

Component name Function


Housing/casing It contains the RTU’s internal systems and
protects them from the outside.
It also contains a drain pan to prevent
condensation.

Fan It is the centerpiece of the system. It’s job is


to push the cooled or heated air to different
parts of the building.

Cooling coil It is used to dehumidify the atmosphere and is


part of the equipment that keeps the relative
humidity of a cold room or any other process
that requires certain humidity conditions
under control.

14
Internship Razane Chatti

Heating coil It allows the heating of the air. Hot water or


refrigerant condensation can be used to heat
the space.

Filters They prevent the spread of dust and other


particles inside the facility

humidifiers It produces water vapor or steam to increase


the amount of moisture in the air (humidity)

dumpers These are essentially metal sheets that rotate


together. They either fully open to allow air
into the unit or fully close to prevent air from
entering or exiting.

- Advantages and disadvantages of a RTU system

Table 5: Advantages and disadvantages of a rooftop unit system

Advantages Disadvantages
 Fast installation  Limited flexibility to change
 Installed on the roof components
 Less cost  Limited fan performance
 Saving plant space  Shorter equipment life
 Limited filtration options

3.2.3 Air Handling Unit

 Principle of operation

15
Internship Razane Chatti

The AHU is often a huge metal box that connects to the ductwork that distributes conditioned
air throughout the building before returning it to the AHU. A multitude of ventilators with
various functions are housed inside this big metal box.

AHUs deliver fresh air to the room. Outside air is collected, filtered, and reconditioned by the
devices (cooled by a cooling coil or heated by a heating coil).

The casing or housing, the fan, the heating and/or cooling coil, filters, humidifiers, and the
mixing box are the major components of an AHU system [5].

The two most frequent types of air handling units are "Draw-Through" and "Blow-Through"
air handling units

Table 6: AHU types and characterizations

Blow Through AHU Type The fan blows the air through the mixing
box, filters, and cooling coil before
discharging it to the conditioned space or the
ducting system in the Blow-Through type.
The area after the fan has positive pressure in
this situation.

The fan pulls air through the mixing box,


Draw Through AHU Type filters, and cooling coil before discharging it
from the fan outlet to the conditioned space
or the ducting network in the Draw-Through
type. The design might be horizontal or
vertical. The area before the fan is under
negative pressure in this situation.

- Advantages and disadvantages of a handling unit system

Advantages Disadvantages
 Comfortable working environment  The entire facility will be without air
 Less disruptive conditioning if the air handling
 Less cost machine fails

3.3 Air conditioning study

3.3.1 Thermal balance

A thermal balance is a tool that allows us to assess a home's energy deficiencies. The final
goal is to acquire recommendations in order to select the most appropriate energy
improvement projects, or at the very least to appropriately schedule them, beginning with the
most pressing.

The thermal balance is also used to determine potential heat losses by identifying the house's
thermal bridges and to analyze overall energy usage. This audit also provides an opportunity
to assess if the home complies with current thermal norms.

3.3.2 External heat loads

 Heat supply by transmission through the walls at constant speed:

𝑸𝑺𝒕𝒓 = 𝑲𝒔 × 𝑺 × (𝑻𝒆 − 𝑻𝒊 ) [𝑾]

- 𝑺: wall or window surface area [m²]


- 𝑻𝒆 : outside air temperature [°C]
- 𝑻𝒊 : indoor air temperature [°C]
- 𝑲𝒔 : Overall heat transfer coefficient by conduction and convection [W/m²°C]

The overall heat transfer coefficient is determined by the exchanges caused by heat
conduction through the wall, air convection on the external surface, and radiation from the
surrounding surfaces:

The amount of heat passing through the glazing:

𝑸𝑺𝑹𝒈 = 𝜶 × 𝑺 × 𝒈 × 𝑹𝒈 [𝑾]

- 𝜶: coefficient of absorption of the glazing


- 𝒈: The reduction factor is determined by how well the window is insulated from solar
radiation.
- 𝑺: glazed area [m²]
- 𝑹𝒈 : Intensity of solar radiation on cover glass[W/m²];
 Through the wall:

The amount of heat transferred through the wall:

𝑸𝑺𝑹𝒘 = 𝜶 × 𝑭 × 𝑺 × 𝑹𝒎 [𝑾]

- 𝜶: The absorption coefficients of the radiation-receiving wall are affected by the color
and nature of the wall.
- 𝑺: Wall surface area [m²]
- 𝑭: Solar Factor
- 𝑹𝒎 : Solar radiation absorbed by the wall surface[W/m²]
 Heat Due to ventilation/infiltration:
The key factor in determining the ventilation heat loss in a building is the ventilation rate,
i.e. the average rate at which air flows through it. For this raison, sensible and latent heat
losses are considered.
 Sensitive heat gains from ventilation:

𝑸𝑹𝒗 = 𝟎. 𝟑𝟒 × 𝑸𝒗 × (𝑻𝒆 − 𝑻𝒊 ) [𝑾]

18
Internship Razane Chatti

- 𝑸𝒗 : Air ventilation or infiltration rate[m3/h]


- 𝑻𝒆 : Outside air temperature [°C]
- 𝑻𝒊 : Indoor air temperature [°C]
- 𝟎. 𝟑𝟒: The assumed heat capacity of air times the density of air[Wh/m3.K]
 Latent heat gains from ventilation:

𝑸𝑳𝒗 = 𝟎. 𝟖𝟒 × 𝑸𝒗 × (𝒓𝒆 − 𝒓𝒊 ) [𝑾]

- 𝑸𝒗 : Air ventilation or infiltration rate[m3/h]


- 𝒓𝒆 : Moisture content of outdoor air [g/ kgas]
- 𝒓𝒊 : Moisture content of indoor air [g/kgas]
- 𝟎. 𝟖𝟒: Latent heat of a vaporization of water by air specific heat at constant
volume [Wh. kgas /m3.g water]

3.3.3 Internal heat loads

 Heat supplied by occupants':

The ambient temperature and the type of activity performed by the occupant are used to
calculate resident inputs. The occupants' thermal inputs are classified into two categories:
sensitive and latent.

 Sensitive heat loss:


𝑄𝑆𝑜𝑐 = 𝑛 × 𝐶𝑆𝑜𝑐 [𝑊]
 Latent heat loss:
𝑄𝐿𝑜𝑐 = 𝑛 × 𝐿𝐿𝑜𝑐 [𝑊]
- 𝑛: Number of occupants
- 𝐶𝑆𝑜𝑐 : Sensitivespecific heat transfer coefficient of occupant [W]
- 𝐿𝐿𝑜𝑐 : Latent heat transfer coefficient of occupant [W]
 Lighting heat loss:
𝑄𝑙𝑖 = 𝑀𝑒 × 𝑃 = 𝑃𝑠 × 𝑆 [𝑊]
- 𝑀𝑒 : Dimensionless correction coefficient that depends on the type of lighting
(fluorescence equal to 1.25; incandescence equal to 1)
- 𝑃𝑠 : Installed Lighting Power [W/m2]
- 𝑃: Actual electrical power installed for lighting in [W]

19
Internship Razane Chatti

- 𝑆: Space area [m2]

 Heat supplied by machine and equipment’s:

Every electrical device generates heat while in use. The expressions that contribute to this
contribution are as follows:

 Sensitive heat loss:

𝑄𝑆𝑚 = ∑ 𝑛𝑖 × 𝑃𝑠 [𝑊]

 Latent heat loss:

𝑄𝐿𝑚 = ∑ 𝑛𝑖 × 𝑃𝑙 [𝑊]

- 𝑛𝑖 : Number of machines ‘ i ’
- 𝑃𝑠 : Sensitive machinesheat loss [W]
- 𝑃𝑙 : Latentmachines loss [W]

3.3.4 Total heat loads

The sum of all external and internal loads is the total thermal balance ( 𝑄𝑇 ). Summing
sensitive (𝑄𝑆 ) and latent (𝑄𝐿 ) loads is more convenient.

𝑄𝑇 = 𝑄𝑆 + 𝑄𝐿 [𝑊]

 Total Sensitive Loads:

Due to the temperature difference between the interior and outside, the following are the
contributions of the sensitive heats in the assumption:

𝑄𝑆 = 𝑄𝑆𝑡𝑟 + 𝑄𝑆𝑅𝑔 + 𝑄𝑆𝑅𝑤 + 𝑄𝑅𝑣 + 𝑄𝑆𝑜𝑐 + 𝑄𝑆𝑙𝑖 + 𝑄𝑆𝑚 [𝑊]

 Total Latent loads :

These are the contributions of latent heat caused by differences in the amount of water vapour
in outdoor and interior air.

20
Internship Razane Chatti

𝑄𝑆 = 𝑄𝐿𝑣 + 𝑄𝐿𝑜𝑐 + 𝑄𝐿𝑚 [𝑊]

3.3.5 Pressure loss

The pressure loss of the network is equal to that of the section with the greatest equivalent
length (linear) taking into account all the transformations of direction and section (Singular).

∆𝑃𝑡 = ∆𝑃𝑙 + ∆𝑃𝑗

- ∆𝑃𝑡 : total charge loss


- ∆𝑃𝑙 : linear load loss
- ∆𝑃𝑗 : singular charge loss
 linear head loss:

𝜆 𝐿 𝜌𝑉 2
∆𝑷𝒍 =
𝐷 2

- ∆𝑃𝑙 : linear load loss


- 𝜆 : Relative roughness of the pipe.
- 𝐿: pipe length (m)
- 𝐷: pipe diameter(m)
- 𝜌: air density (Kg/m3)
- 𝑉: air velocity (m/s)

In the case of laminar flow in a circular duct, 𝜆 = 64/𝑅𝑒

In the case of a turbulent flow (Re greater than 4000), , 𝜆 = 0.316/𝑅𝑒 0.25

In most of the studies to be carried out in air conditioning, the air speed is around 4 to 6 m/s
and at a temperature of about 20°C.In these cases, the pressure drop can be estimated at
(Annex 20):

∆𝑷𝒍 = 3106 𝑄1.9 𝐿/𝐷5

In case where the velocity is known:

∆𝑷𝒍 = 6𝑉 1.82 𝐿/𝐷1.22

21
Internship Razane Chatti

- 𝑉: air velocity (m/s)


- 𝐷: pipe diameter(mm)

Sometimes, the duct used will be other than circular, we will then use the term diameter of
equivalent duct. The equivalent diameter of any conduit is defined as the diameter of the
conduit cylindrical which, traversed by the same air flow, will present the same pressure drop.
In the case of a rectangular duct, ASHRAE estimates this diameter to be equivalent to (Annex
20):

𝐷𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑖 = 1.265 (𝑎 ∗ 𝑏)0.6 ⁄(𝑎 + 𝑏)0.2

 Singular head loss:

𝜌 𝑉2
Δ𝑃𝑗 = 𝜉
2

- ∆𝑃𝑗 : singular charge loss


- 𝜉 : singular load loss coefficient
- 𝜌: air density (Kg/m3)
- 𝑉: air velocity (m/s)

For each singularity, heat loss coefficient must be calculated depending on dimensions’
characterizations (Annex 20).

3.3.6 Duct networks calculation

As a general rule, we will strive to obtain the simplest and most symmetrical layout possible.
The calculation of network pressure drops can be carried out by one of the methods following:

 Constant linear head losses


 Calculation according to the speed of the air circulating in the network
 Calculation by the method of static pressure gains

 Method of constant linear head losses

This method applies to supply, return and extraction networks. She is mainly used for
approximate and fast calculations during pre-studies. In this method, a linear pressure drop is

22
Internship Razane Chatti

fixed which will be constant throughout the along the network. The pressure drop that the fan
will have to combat will be this loss of chosen load multiplied by the total length of the
circuit. Usually coupled with the method equivalent lengths, this pressure drop calculation is
very fast and the fan must combat the pressure loss of the longest or most uneven network.
This type of calculation leads to an automatic speed reduction in the network.

 Calculation method depending on the speed

In this method, we strive to respect the air flow speeds as much as possible. Depending on the
function and location of the duct. The loss of pressure combated by the fan will no longer
necessarily be due to the network longer, but may be the fastest network pressure loss. The
calculation can be made by the method of equivalent lengths or losses of singular load. This is
the type of calculation performed most often in industry (Annex 20).

 Static Pressure gain method

This method is undoubtedly the most complicated to use, which is why it is very little used in
industry. The principle of this method consists in sizing each section in such a way that the
increase in static pressure due to the variation in air speed after each tapping or diffuser,
exactly compensates the pressure drop of its section. This calculation method can only be
applied to a supply network and makes it possible to reduce the monomeric head of the fan
since in theory, only the pressure drop of the first stretch cannot be compensated. The
disadvantage of this calculation is that it requires a constant decrease in speed and larger duct
sizes.

3.3.7 Textile ducts calculation


As a second solution, textile ducts can be the perfect option.

The textile duct, also known as a textile air diffuser, is a technical product that allows treated
air to be diffused or conveyed from one location to another based on highly particular
conditions.

23
Internship Razane Chatti

Figure 8: Textile duct


For this project, we will use four textile ducts without a collector.

 Dynamic pressure

𝑉²
𝑃𝑑 = 𝜌 ×
2
- 𝜌: density (kg/m3)
- 𝑉: air velocity (m/s)
 Static pressure

𝑙
𝑃𝑠 = 𝛽( )𝑃𝑑
𝑑

- 𝛽: coefficient of friction linked to the number of Reynolds


- 𝑙: length of pipe (m)
- 𝑑: diameter of pipe (m)
 Total pressure

𝑃𝑡 = 𝑃𝑠 + 𝑃𝑑

- 𝑃𝑠 : static pressure
- 𝑃𝑑 : dynamic pressure

3.4 sanitary plumbing


Sanitary plumbing is a whole network of water distribution so that you have a supply of
drinking water as well as sewage disposal but also the production of hot water and the
installation of sanitary facilities.

3.4.1 Water distribution design


 Base flow rate

24
Internship Razane Chatti

DTU 60-11 specifies the minimum flow rates (in l/s) for each device. A segment's base flow
is the sum of the flows of all devices fed by that segment.
 Probable flow rate

Probable flow is the maximum flow that can exist in a section of piping.

The base rates must be reduced by a simultaneity coefficient Y.

𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑤 = 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑤 ∗ 𝑌

 Simultaneity coefficient
- Case of collective housing:

𝑌 = 0.8/√(𝑥 − 1)

x: appliances number

- Case of individual housing:

Each individual device is assigned a coefficient (figure 9); the sum of the units allows
using the curve to determine the minimum supply diameter of the device group from 2

3.5 Conclusion
As a first step in this chapter, we presented the different air conditioning systems that we will
use for this project as well as the refrigeration cycle to understand the air cooling process.

As a second part, we presented the different formulas that we need to assess a home’s energy
deficiencies. The next chapter is dedicated for sizing.

Chapter 4: Sizing and results


4.1 Introduction
In this final chapter, we will calculate the heat balance for each zone, air flow rates, mass
blow rate and so on to select the proper sizing for the air conditioner.

As we previously mentioned, this project will be divided into two zones, therefore, we will be
also dividing this chapter into two parts

28
Internship Razane Chatti

2 windows S (1.3*2): K= 3.45 W/m²°C

Renewal outdoor air flow rate:

Qv = Qs + Qi [m3/h]

- Qs: Specific air flow [m3/h] (equals the number of people multiplied by the
minimum new air flow)

- Qi: Infiltrated air flow [m3/h] (equals the volume of room multiplied by the ratio of
air infiltration depending on the type of carpentry).

Qs = 25*40 = 1000 m3/h

Qi = 0.3 × 585.7 × 5.05 = 887.33 m3/h

Qv = 1000+887.33=1887.33 m3/h

 Calculation tools

I used EXCEL to calculate the heat balance.

- Excel spreadsheet:

EXCEL relates to the Spreadsheet family of programs. This software helps to create
calculation tables, invoices, graphs, and thus more.

In order to facilitate the process, we can use formulas to automate calculations.

This spreadsheet represents the thermal balance of the first zone: the administration

Outdoor unit (3MXM68N9), dimensions (L x H x W): 868x734x328 mm

The 1/4-3/8 1/4-1/2 refrigeration connections allow the units to be connected to each other.

 The administration’s duct sizing

The section “A” of the administration is able to get new fresh air throughout the windows.

The same cannot be said about the section “B”, since it’s located between the corridor and the
workshop which means there is no access for new air.

In order to introduce new air to this section, we need to install supply air ducts and return air
ducts.

Figure 15: Contributions in the workshop

 Rooftop unit and air networks calculation and Sizing


 Choice of the Roof top model

According to the workshop’s heat balance, the total loads are 312.310 kW, and since we are
planning on installing 4 rooftop units then:

Total loads= 312.310 /4 =78.077 kW per unit.

After looking for the suitable equipment, I found that “SPACE PF” from the company CIAT
is the right choice for this project.

The Space PF cooling units and heat pumps are autonomous air-air units with a compact,
horizontal rooftop construction with cooling capacity from 92 kW to 280.8 kW and heating
capacity from 98.9 kW to 293.1 kW.

These units are intended for air conditioning large surface areas in commercial or industrial
settings. They are simple to set up and run consistently. A wide range of choices are available
to fulfill various operational requirements.

The following advantages are associated with this model:

- Low ODP and GWP R410a refrigerant.

- SCROLL compressor (high efficiency compared to other types).

- Silent unit therefore better acoustic comfort.

- Possibility of operation in FREE-COOLING mode.

 Dimensioning of air networks

For this project’s air system, we are having two suggestions:

- Air ducts
- Air textile sheaths
Air ducts:
 Supply air duct

Ventilation duct or duct, it represents an aeraulic network.

In most cases, the ventilation sheath is frequently made of metal, such as galvanized steel or
aluminum, etc.

It carries air for heating, air conditioning or ventilation, new air or extraction [annex 15].

The air flow rate is 18000 m3/h, therefore the following standards must be followed:

39
Internship Razane Chatti

- Velocity should not exceed 9 m/s


- The location is a workshop

In order to determine the needed number of grids, we need to apply the following formula:

 Dimensioning the return ducts

The total flow rate is 17400 m3/h.

For the air return opening we will use the diffuser “GAV 51/52” by FRANCE AIR brand.

It is dedicated for industrial applications with high flow supply or extract grids.

For its composition, GAV 51/52 contains frame and blades in extruded aluminum, fixed on
the wall by visible screws and finished with natural anodisation aluminum [annex 19].

4.4 Conclusion
In this chapter, we released a HVAC study, which includes heat balance, selection of
equipments for both zones.

We established two suggestions when it comes to the workshop’s air conditioning network.

For each proposal, we released the needed studies to be able to install the air conditioning
system with perfect dimensions and measurements.

And finally we finished with the plumbing sanitary study on men and women’s restroom
which is located at the administration.

53
Internship Razane Chatti

CONCLUSIONS ET PERSPEECTIVES

In the first chapter, I gave a brief representation for the textile company, its characteristics,
stages of production and organizational charts.

The second chapter was dedicated to report on the steps that I took during my internship.

As for the third chapter, it is divided into two parts:

First part included the definition of various air conditioning systems and their components as
well as their advantages and disadvantages. Plus, it described the refrigeration process.

The second part included the definition of the different formulas that we will be using later
on.

The final chapter would be the part where I have presented the procedures for calculating the
heat balance for both zones in the industry: workshop and administration, and then
representing the needed components and material as well as the plumbing sanitary study .
