Room size = 12 m × 6 m × 3.

5 m
= 252 m3 or 8899.3 ft3

As per ASHRAE 62.2 recommendation,


Air changes per hour = 5 – 10 for substation

CFM @ 5 ACR = 5 ÷ 60 × 8899.3 ft3


= 741.61 ft3/min

CFM @ 10 ACR = 10 × 8899.3 ft3


= 1483.22 ft3/min

Assuming
Ambient temperature = 93.2 °F (34 °C)
Design temperature = 69.8 °F (21 °C)
Δt = 23.4 °F

Min. air cooling capacity, Btu/Hr = 741.61 ft3/min × 23.4 °F


= 17353.67 Btu/Hr

Max. air cooling capacity, Btu/Hr = 1483.22 ft3/min × 23.4 °F


= 34707.35 Btu/Hr

Cooling load:
1×36W Fluorescent Light Fitting = 12 Nos. × 36W × 0.25 (assumed 85% efficiency)
= 108 W

2×36W Fluorescent Light Fitting = 6 Nos. × 72W × 0.25


= 108 W

Equipment = Assumed 100 W

Wall, Floor, Ceiling etc. = Assumed 1000 W

Personnel = 2 Persons × 200 W


= 400 W

Total = 1.416 kW
= 4831.59 Btu/Hr

Min. air conditioner capacity = 17353.67 Btu/Hr + 4831.59 Btu/Hr


= 22185.26 Btu/Hr

Max. air conditioner capacity = 34707.35 Btu/Hr + 4831.59 Btu/Hr


= 39538.94 Btu/Hr

OPTIMUM DESIGN REQUIREMENT


22185.26 Btu/Hr – 49423.68 Btu/Hr
750 CFM – 1483.22 CFM
