AIRCONDITIONING

Various methods of handling the air

supplied to a condition space
 ALL OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLIED,NO
RECIRCULATION
The use of all outside air with no
recirculation is uneconomical unless the outside
conditions are close in temperatures and
humidity to the inside conditions maintained..
Recirculation is impracticable in space where
objectionable odors arise..
•   example:
For
In a space, the sensible heat load is 13.5kw and
latent heat load 3.4kw.Outside air is at 32dry bulb
temperature and 50% relative humidity. The space is to be
maintained at 25
dry bulb temperature and 18 wet bulb temperature..All
outside air is supplied with reheater to satisfy the space
conditions ..The condition air leaves the supply fan at 17…

a.) the refrigeration load in kw
b.)the capacity of the supply fan in
c.)the heat supplied in the reheater in kw

 RECIRCULATED AIR AND OUTSIDE AIR
SUPPLIED
Recirculating part of the air is more economical
than using all outside air. As the temperature of the
recirculated air is usually more favorable than that
of the outside air .In the ordinary conditioner ,the
air must be cooled to a relatively low temperature
to condense the surplus humidity and when this
temperature is too low for comfortable delivery to
the conditioned space some reheating of the
dehumidified air is necessary…
•  
Example:
A space to be airconditioned has a sensible heat load
of 36kw and the latent heat load of 10.2kw..The space to
be maintained at 26 dry bulb temperature and relative
humidity of 50% ..Outside air is at 32 dry bulb temperature
and 24 wet bulb temperature ..The conditioned air will
enter the space at 19 drybulbtemperature
If 45% of the supply air is fresh air and the rest is
recirculated air..
Determine:
a.)the volume flow rate of fresh air at supply conditions ()
b.)the apparatus dew point ()
c.)the refrigeration load (kw)

RECIRCULATED AIR WITH EXTERNAL BY PASS
SYSTEM
In the bypass system part of the recirculated
air is controlled by damper action in order to
make it bypass the airconditioner.This warmer
bypass air is used to reheat the air leaving the
airconditioner to a more suitable temperature
for distribution in the air conditioned space..This
method produces an economical performance
as compared with systems where reheat might
be required..
•Example:
 
In an auditorium the sensible heat entering is 96kw
and the latent heat is 38.4kw..Outside air is at 33 dry
bulb temperature and 25wet bulb temperature..The
supply air enters at 18
Dry bulb temperature and the auditorium is to be
maintained at 25 dry bulb temperature and 18 wet
bulb temperature ..If 20% of the fan capacity is fresh
air and the by pass system is used..

a.)the apparatus dew point(DPT)
b.)the refrigeration load(QR)
