Optimization Of Air Conditioning System
ABSTRACT
Air conditioning is the largest source of energy consumption. The issue of global
warming has become a particular concern in the world of research. To reduce the
effects of global warming it has been developing of green building with the aim of
energy saving . We are finding cooling load in the room by considering the different
heat source and the number of occupancy. Energy cooling load is affected by
external and internal heat sources. External cooling load in this include convection
outdoor/exterior using the calculation of heat using Thermal Analysis Research
Program (TARP), and Conduction Transfer Function (CTF).[3] We use as the
reference the ASHRAE standard for building materials and the metabolic of
occupants while on the activity. The results show that the number of occupancies
have an influence of cooling load. A large number of occupancy will cause the
cooling load is great as well, also including study of nano particles which will be use
as the refrigerant which suitable for cooling environment. Nano refrigerant is
nothing but the combination of nano-particle with the refrigerant for the sake of
better refrigeration process. It has been observed that, as compared to alternative
refrigerant, there is better improvement in heat transfer capacity of the refrigerant
after addition of nanoparticles is this also research area. After the studying , we are
implementing the Air Conditioning process become more efficient and safe as
compare to previous in atmospheric prospective. By considering different coating
materials of glass & LED tube lights.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
In present days the environmental problem is one of the most serious problems.
Energy consumption by industries and buildings are responsible for this problem.
About 72% of world energy is consumed by infrastructure, industry, commercial
buildings, residential houses, and markets. In a large building or complex, which is
air‐conditioned, about 60% of the total energy requirement in the building is
allocated for the air‐conditioning plant installed to use the cooling purpose. Exact
prediction of the cooling and heating load, proper sizing of the heat ventilation air-
conditioning (HVAC) system and optimal control of the HVAC systems are
important to minimize energy consumption. Root factors that affect cooling loads are
the external climates such as outdoor temperature, solar radiation and humidity.
Local climatic conditions are important parameters for the energy efficiency of
buildings. Because the energy consumption in buildings depends on the climatic
conditions and the performance of heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC)
systems changes with them as well, better design in building HVAC applications that
take account of the right climatic conditions will result in better comfort and more
energy efficient buildings. Calculation of thermal load of building is very essential to
find exact air-conditioning equipment and air handling unit, to achieve comfort
operation and good air distribution in the air-conditioned zone. This project Cooling
load estimation for an externally loaded Educational Institute Building is presented
by using CLTD method.

1.1 Importance of project

Ensuring that you install the right size air conditioner or complete HVAC system is
critical to providing consistent indoor comfort for you. It is also important to saving
energy which can be wasted by either a too large or too small system since energy
savings translate to monetary savings in today’s economy you simply can’t afford to
ignore system sizing when selecting your new HVAC equipment. The capacity of
your equipment needs to match the size of area being heated or cooled and it must
take other factors in consideration as well. If the system installed is too large it uses
unnecessary amount of energy simply because it takes a more amount of energy to
run a larger system. It wastes energy through ‘short-cycling’, turning itself on and off
repeatedly and running only for short time, it can create unnecessary noise as access
air moves through the duct work if the system is large. It creates more wear and tear
on the system thus it fails to remove sufficient humidity from the air since it doesn’t
run long enough to provide adequate humidity control. If too small system is
installed it runs continuously yet can sometimes fail to maintain the proper comfort
level especially during extreme weather. It might require a supplemental form of
heating or cooling to keep you comfortable. This rises cost and offset the savings
from the energy efficiency of the system because the system is switching on and off
too frequently. it can create unnecessary noise . It will require regular maintenance to
keep it running optimally and prevent breakdown since it will tend to be a bit over worked.
Cooling load calculations involve a systematic, stepwise procedure using which one can
arrive at the required system capacity by taking into account all the building energy flows.
Thus a system that is correctly matched to your heating or cooling requirements offers the
following advantages. It operates at optimal efficiency saving your money on energy cost. It
keeps your indoor temperature and overall comfort level more consistent. It provides proper
humidity control, increasing comfort and lowering the likely hood of mold or mildew
problems. It operates without excessive noise, according to its intended specification, rather
than over burdening the system and shortening its lifestyle

LITERATURE REVIEW
1. Vikas Palliwal[2017] : explained Human comfortness is essential now a days
because of the improvement in life style and increasing atmospheric
temperature. Electrical air conditioning machines are not most suitable for
large buildings because of the higher power consumption and shorter
life. The effective design of central air conditioning can provide lower power
consumption, capital cost and improve aesthetics of a building.
2. Chairani [2017] : explained cooling load in the room by considering the different
heat source and the number of occupancy. Energy cooling load is affected by
external and internal heat sources. The internal cooling load is calculated based
on the activity of the occupants in the office, a number of occupants, heat gain
from lighting, and heat gain from electrics equipment.
3. K. T. Pawale[2017]: explained, It has been observed that, as compared to alternative
refrigerant, there is better improvement in heat transfer capacity of the refrigerant
after addition of nanoparticles. He obtained are found to have their improved
thermo-physical properties over the conventional refrigerants. Nano-particles can be
used along with refrigerant in order to improve the performance of vapour
compression refrigeration system.
4. S. A. Fadhilah[2014] : investigated thoroughly in many ways to reduce the energy
consumption. Hence, Nano refrigerant which is one kind of nanofluids has been
introduced as a superior properties refrigerant that increased the heat transfer rate in
the refrigeration system. Many types of materials could be used as the nanoparticles
to be suspended into the conventional refrigerants.
5. P. Dipika: studied in “Effect of Nanoparticles in Refrigeration System” to bring
out some of the important woks done in the field of Nano refrigerants as well as
Nano lubricants.
6. C.A. Balaras[1996]: explained that thermal mass can reduce peak cooling loads and
indoor air temperature swings in buildings. Experimental studies which demonstrate
the effectiveness of thermal mass as an energy conservation alternative and in
providing more comfortable indoor conditions, are also reviewed.

difference used for calculating the instantaneous external cooling load across the
walls and roofs.
g) Humidity: - it is the mass of water vapour present in 1 kg of dry air, and is
generally expressed in terms of gram per kg of dry air (g/kg of dry air). It is also
called specific humidity or humidity ratio.
h) Relative humidity (RH): - it is a ratio of actual mass of water vapour in a given
volume of moist air to the mass of water vapour in the same volume of saturated air
at the same temperature and pressure.
i) Dry bulb temperature (DBT): - it is the temperature of air recorded by

difference between the outside and inside air.
l) infiltration: uncontrolled inward air leakage to conditioned spaces through
unintentional openings in ceilings, floors, and walls from unconditioned spaces or
the outdoors caused by the same pressure differences that induce exfiltration.
3.1.2 Basic Information
Before estimating cooling load of any building there are some basic
information’s are necessary to design an exact HVAC systems, like building
orientation, weather condition, building spacing, buildings materials etc. The more
exact the information the more accurate will be the load estimated.
3.1.3 Building Location

The Institute building of D.Y. Patil College of Engineering and Technology

considered in this study is situated in Kolhapur, located at 16.7321‫﮿‬N latitude and
74.2405‫﮿‬E longitude in Kolhapur District of Maharashtra, India at an elevation of
about 546 meters above mean sea level. 3.1.2 Climate condition Kolhapur
has a humid climate. During Southwest monsoon (June – September), it receives
high rainfall and retreats Northeast monsoon (December – January). Average annual
rainfall ranges 778mm.The minimum and maximum temperatures ranges are 10 to
40 with a mean minimum and maximum temperature range of 14.90 to 27.30 during
coldest and hottest months. Table 3.1.3 gives the average high and low temperature

3.1.3: Average temperatures and Humidity of Kolhapur
Buildings may be classified as externally loaded and internally loaded. In externally

loaded buildings the cooling load on the building is mainly due to heat transfer
between the surroundings and the internal conditioned space. Since the surrounding
conditions are highly variable in any given day, the cooling load of an externally
loaded building varies widely. In internally loaded buildings the cooling load is
mainly due to internal heat generating sources such as occupants or appliances or
processes. In general the heat generation due to internal heat sources may remain

fairly constant, and since the heat transfer from the variable surroundings is much
less compared to the internal heat sources, the cooling load of an internally loaded
building remains fairly constant. Obviously from energy efficiency and economics
points of view, the system design strategy for an externally loaded building should be
different from an internally loaded building. Hence, prior knowledge of whether the
building is externally loaded or internally loaded is essential for effective system
design. As mentioned before, the total cooling load on a building consists of external
as well as internal loads. The external loads consist of heat transfer by conduction
through the building walls, roof, floor, doors etc, heat transfer by radiation through
fenestration such as windows and skylights. All these are sensible heat transfers. In
addition to these the external load also consists of heat transfer due to infiltration,
which consists of both sensible as well as latent components. The heat transfer due to
ventilation is not a load on the building but a load on the system. The various internal
loads consist of sensible and latent heat transfer due to occupants, products,
processes and appliances, sensible heat transfer due to lighting and other equipment.
Figure 3.1.3 shows various components that constitute the cooling load on a
building. Infiltration Heat transfer from ground solar radiation through fenestration
solar radiation through opaque surfaces Internal heat sources
Fig.3.1.3: Various cooling load components
Estimation of cooling load involves estimation of each of the above components

from the given data. In the present chapter, the cooling load calculations are carried
out based on the CLTD/CLF method suggested by ASHRAE. For more advanced
methods such as TFM, the reader should refer to ASHRAE and other handbooks.

3.2 Analytical work

3.2.1 Design condition
The amount of cooling that has to be accomplished to keep buildings
comfortable in summer and winter depends on the desired indoor conditions and on
the outdoor conditions on a given day. These conditions are respectively called the
“indoor design condition” and the “outdoor design condition”. For most of the
comfort systems, the recommended indoor temperature and relative humidity are as
follows DBT – 22.78 oC to 26.11 oC and RH – 50% , for summer DBT – 22.11 oC to
22.22 oC and RH – 20 to 30% for winter. The cooling load of the building is based
on 25 oC dry bulb temperature and 50% relative humidity Indoor design conditions.
The outdoor design conditions are determined from published data for the specific
location, based on weather airport records.
3.2.2 Overall heat transfer coefficient (U)
Commonly the building walls may consist of non-homogeneous materials for
example hollow bricks, air gap and plaster. Heat transfer through these types of wall
is quite complicated as it involves simultaneous heat transfer by conduction,
convection and radiation. All material has different kinds of thermo physical
properties; the thermo-physical properties of common building materials have been
measured and presented in ASHRAE and other handbooks and are taken as follows
in our calculation: U-value for wall (brick) : 2.5 W/m 2.K U-value for wood :- 1.42
W/m2.K U-value for roof : 1.2 W/m2.K U-value for floor : 1.2 W/m2.K U-value for
glass :- 3.12 W/m2.K
3.2.3 Cooling Load Temperature Difference
The expose walls of the D.Y.P.C.E.T building are thermally heavier than the wall
due to added insulation and climatic conditions, then corrected CLTD for the walls
exposed is taken as 25 OC for all seasons as presented and measured in ASHRAE.
Effective Temp. Difference (CLTD) for wall : 25 OC (Exposed to sunlight)
Effective Temp. Difference (ETD) for wall: (To-Ti) (Shaded)
Effective Temp. Difference (ETD) for roof : (To-Ti)
Effective Temp. Difference (ETD) for floor : (To-Ti)

3.3 Case Study

3.3.1 Sample Cooling load calculation of Computer Lab (North Wing)
Cooling load calculation
 Inside conditions : 25 dry bulb, 50 percent RH
 Outside conditions : 40 OC dry bulb, 40% RH
 U-value for wall : 2.5 W/m2.K
 U-value for roof : 1.2 W/m2.K
 U-value for floor : 1.2 W/m2.K
 U-value for glass :- 3.12 W/m2.K
 CLTD for wall: 25 OC
 Effective Temp. Difference (ETD) for roof: 0 OC
 Effective Temp. Difference (ETD) for roof: 15 OC
 Solar Heat Gain (SHG) of glass : 300 W/m 2
 Internal Shading Coefficient (SC) of glass: 0.86
 Occupancy : 21 (90 W sensible heat/person) (40 W latent heat/person)
 Infiltration : 0.75 Air Changes per Hour
 Barometric pressure: 101 k pa
From psychrometric chart,
For the inside conditions of 25 OC dry bulb, 50% RH
Wi= 0.010 kg w/ kg
For the outside conditions of 40 OC dry bulb, 40% RH
Wo= 0.019 kg w/kg,
density of dry air = 1.095 kg/m 3
1) External loads:
a) Heat transfer rate through the walls (Exposed) :
Qwall = Uwall Awall CLTDwall
= 2.5 x (59.5- 16.8) x 25 = 2668 W (Sensible)

b) Heat transfer rate through roof:
Qroof = Uroof Aroof ETDroof
= 1.2 x 70 x 0 = 0 W (Sensible)
c) Heat transfer rate through floor: since the floor is not exposed to solar radiation, the
driving temperature difference for the roof is the temperature difference between the outdoor
and indoor, hence:
Qfloor = Ufloor Afloor ETDfloor
= 1.2 x 160 x 15 = 2880 W (Sensible)
d) Heat transfer rate through glass:
Hence the total heat transfer rate through the glass window is given by:
Qglass = Aglass [Uglass(To−Ti) + SHGFmax SC]
= 16.8 [3.12 x 15 + 300 x 0.86]
= 5120.64 W (Sensible)
e) Heat transfer due to infiltration:
The infiltration rate is 0.75 ACH, converting this into mass flow rate, the infiltration rate
in kg/s is given by:
Fmin = density of air x (ACH x volume of the room)/3600
= 1.095 x (0.75 x 576)/3600
Fmin = 0.1314 kg/s
f) Sensible heat transfer rate due to infiltration, Qsinf ;
Qsinf = Fmin cpm(To−Ti)
= 0.1314 x 1021.6 x (40 – 25)
= 2013.57 W (Sensible)

g) Latent heat transfer rate due to infiltration, Qlinf ;
Qlinf = fmin hfg(Wo−Wi)
= 0.1314 x 2501 x 1000 (0.019−0.010)
= 2957.68 W (latent)
2) Internal loads :
a) Load due to occupants:
The sensible and latent load due to occupants are:
Qsocc = no. of occupants x SHG
= 21x 90
= 1890W
Qlocc = no. of occupants x LHG
= 21 x 40
= 840W
b) Load due to lighting : Assuming a CLF value of 1.0 ,the load due to lighting is:
Qlights = 4 tube lights
= 28 x 4
= 112 W (Sensible)
c) Load due to appliance:
Qsapp= 4 fan + 21 computers
= 4 x 70 + 21 x 200
= 4480 W (Sensible)

Total sensible and latent loads are obtained by summing-up all the sensible and
latent load components (both external as well as internal) as :
Qstotal = 2668+2880+5120+2013+4480+112+14560 = 31834.5 W (sensible)
Qltotal = 2957.68+2800 = 5757.68 W (latent)
Total load on the building is:
Qtotal = Qstotal + Qltotal
= 31834.5 + 5757.68
= 37592.1 W
Ventilation may be neglected as the infiltration can take care of the small ventilation
requirement. Hence using a safety factor of 1.25, the required cooling capacity is:
Required cooling capacity = 37592.1 /3500 = 10.74TR
Required cooling capacity with Factor of Safety :
= 37592.1 x 1.25 =46990.12
= 46990.12/3500 = 13.4 TR
