Air handling unit design

TE

TI

Example:
Air handling unit design (summer + winter)
Office room max 40 person (no smoking), room-south wall 20m, west wall 20m, height 3,5m
Heat loss: 10 W/m3,
Heat gains:
south windows 20m2, internal blind, electrical equipments 4kW
(Calculation without moisture production)
Air parameters:
Winter
Te=-12C, rh=80%
Ti=20C, rh=60%
Summer
Te=30C, rh=40%
Ti=26C, rh=60%
Calculation:
Heat loss:
QL=15*20*3,5*10= 10,5kW
Heat gains:
External
QGE=20*185=3,7kW
QGEwall=50*10=0,5kW
Internal
QI PERSON=40*150=6kW
QI ELECTRICAL=4kW
QG=3,7+0,5+6+4=14,2kW
