Heating Ventilation & Air

Conditioning.
 1

Air conditioning:
Conditioning the Air by modifying / altering TEMPARATURE /
HUMIDITY LEVEL & purify the air to satisfy human comfort conditions.
T = 26’C / 76’F
R.H = 50% AIR CONDITIONING

RELATIVE HUMIDITY :- Moisture Present in sample of Air / Moisture in

saturated Air

REFRIGERANTS are heat carrying mediums , which during their cycle in

the refrigeration system absorb heat at LOW tem. Level & discard the
heat so absorbed at higher level.

R -11 , R –-12 , R – 22 , R – 123 , R – 134a , R – 717.

Chloro fluoro carbons ( CFCS) , Dichloro di fluoro methane – R12,
Monochloro di fluoro methane – R22
 DRY BULB TEMPARATURE (DBT) 3
It Is the temperature recorded by a
Thermometer whose bulb Is not affected by moisture or
radiation.
WET BULB TEMPERATURE (MBT)
It is the temperature recorded by a Thermometer
whose bulb is covered by muslin wick wetted by water & is
moved past the unsaturated air at a velocity of 4 to 5m/s.

As the air stream flow past the wick, some water

evaporates, taking the latent heat from the wick, thus
decreasing the temperature & making the surrounding thin
film of air saturated when equilibrium condition is reached
there is a balance between the bulb , wick & surrounding
saturated air. This decreased temp. of surrounding thin film
of saturated air is defined a WET BULB TEMP.

1 BTU is the quantity of heat that when added to one

pound of water (at atmospheric pressure) raises the
water temp. by one degree Fahrenheit.
SENIBLE heat changes only the temp. of a
substance. It can be felt & measured by an ordinary
Dry Bulb Thermometer.
Latent heat does not change the DBT of a substance.
It is the “hidden” heat that is absorbed or released
when the physical state of a substance is changed.
1 Lb. water(212’F) + 970.3 BTU = 1 Lb. steam (212’F)
1 Ton refrigeration = 12000 BTU/hr (or)
3000 Kcal/hr
Qty. of heat removed to freeze 1Ton (2000 pounds) of
water at 32’Fahrenheit to ice at the same
temperature in 24 hours.
