Example1
A conference room for seating 100 persons is to be maintained at 22ºC dry bulb
temperature and 60% relative humidity. The outdoor conditions are 40ºC dry bulb
temperature and 27ºC wet bulb temperature. The various loads in the auditorium are
as follows:

Sensible and latent heat loads per person, 80W and 50W respectively; lights and
fans, 15000W; sensible heat gain through glass, walls, ceiling etc., 15000 W. The air
infiltration is 20 m3/min and fresh air supply is100 m3 / min . Two-third of
recirculated room air and one-third of fresh air are mixed before entering the cooling
coils. The by -pass factor of the coils is 0.1.

Determine apparatus dew point the grand total heat load and effective room
sensible heat factor.

Example 2
The following data relates to the office air conditioning plant having maximum
seating capacity of 25 occupants:
Outside design conditions = 34ºC DBT, 28ºC WBT
Inside design conditions = 24ºC DBT, 50% RH
Solar heat gain = 9120 W
Latent heat gain per occupant = 105 W
Sensible heat gain per occupant = 90 W
Lightening load = 2300 W
Sensible heat load from other sources = 11630 W
Infiltration load = 14 m3 / min

Assuming 40% fresh air and 60% of recirculated air passing through the
evaporator coil and the by-pass factor of 0.15, find the dew point temperature of the
coil and capacity of the plant.

Example 3

An air conditioning system is designed for a restaurant when the following data is
available:
Total heat flow through the walls,
roof and floor =6.2kW
Solar heat gain through glass =2kW
Equipment sensible heat gain = 2.9kW
Equipment latent heat gain =0.7 kW
Total infiltration air =400 m 3 / h
Outdoor conditions =35ºC DBT; 26ºC WBT
inside designed conditions = 27ºC DBT, 55% RH
Minimum temperature of air supplied to room =17ºC DBT
Total amount of fresh air supplied = 1600 m 3 / h

Seating chairs for dining =50

Employees serving the meals =5
Sensible heat gain per person = 58 W
Latent heat gain per sitting person = 44 W
Latent heat gain per employee = 76 W
Sensible heat added from meals = 0.17 kW
Latent heat added from meals = 0.3 kW
Motor power connected to fan = 7.6 kW

If the fan is situated before the conditioner, then find the following
(a) Amount of air delivered to the room in m3 / h ;
(b) Percentage of recirculated air;
(c) Refrigeration load on the coil in tonnes of refrigeration ; and
(d) Dew point temperature of the cooling coil and by-pass facto r.

Example 4

A hall is to be maintained at 24ºC dry bulb temperature and 60% relative humidity
under the following conditions.
Outdoor conditions = 38º C DBT and 28º C WBT
Sensible heat load in the room = 46.4 kW
Latent heat load in the room = 11.6 kW
Total infiltration air = 1200 m 3 / h
Apparatus dew point temperature = 10ºC
Quantity of recirculated air from the hall= 60%

If the quantity of recirculated air is mixed with the conditioned air after the
cooling coil, find the following:

(a) The condition of air leaving the conditioner coil and before mixing with the
recirculated air;
(b) The condition of air before entering the hall;
(c) The mass of air entering the cooler;
(d) The mass of total air passing through the hall;
(e) The by-pass factor of the cooling coil ; and
(f) The refrigeration load on the cooling coil in tonnes of refrigeration.
