Cooling Load Calculations:

A. From Occupants:

1. Molecular Bio/Tech Laboratory

Assume 7 hours of operation and all non smoking and standing. Sensible

heat QS , and latent heat QL per occupant is taken from the book “Refrigeration

and Air-conditioning” by Stoeker and Jones, table 4-7, page 73, heat gain

from occupants is 150W and from table 4-9, page 74 CLF = 0.84.

Taking the average person inside is 7.

Heat gain
Qs = × number of occupants× CLF
occupant

Assuming maximum number of people inside is 15.

150 w
Qs = × 15 occupants× 0.84
occupant

QS = 1,890 Watts

2. Micro Technic Lab

Assume all seated and quiet, heat gain = 100 w

Assuming maximum number of people inside is 10.

100 w

occupant

QS = 840 Watts
3. Chemicals Room

Assume all standing, heat gain = 150 w

Assuming maximum number of people inside is 10.

150 w
Qs = × 10 occupants× 0.84
occupant

QS = 1,260 Watts

4. Equipments Room

Assuming maximum number of people inside is 15.

150 w
Qs = × 15 occupants× 0.84
occupant

QS = 1,890 Watts

5. Natural Science Laboratory

Assume all standing, heat gain = 150 w

Assuming maximum number of people inside is 15.

150 w
Qs = × 15 occupants× 0.84
occupant

QS = 1,890 Watts
B. From Lighting (assume all lighting is turned on 12 hours)

1. Molecular Bio/Tech Lab

Qe = W x Fu x Fb x CLF

Where:

Qe = heat gain

W = total light wattage

Fu = lighting use factor = 1.0, turned on 12 hours per day

Fb = ballast factor = 1.2, for most common fluorescent lamp fixtures

CLF = 0.91, from table 4-6, for 16 hours of operation

Qe = 425w (1.0)(1.2)(0.91)

Qe = 464.1 watts

2. Micro Technic Lab

Qe = W x Fu x Fb x CLF

Qe = 80w (1.0)(1.2)(0.91)

Qe = 87.36 watts

3. Chemicals Room

Qe = 160w (1.0)(1.2)(0.91)

Qe = 174.72 watts
4. Equipments Room

DESIGN OF CENTRALIZED AIR CONDITIONING


SYSTEM
This part is the design of Air Conditioning Ducts for the 2nd Floor Natural Science
Research Center Building.
Figure below shows a typical duct layout of the building. Design the duct system uses
Velocity method for the calculation of Fan Total Pressure.
For design purposes, the assumptions and conditions below are to be considered:
 Assume that the velocity if the main and branch ducts are 8 m/s and 5 m/s
respectively.
 The duct is to be a rectangular duct having an aspect ratio of 1:8 for the very
purpose that the height of the duct should not exceed to more than 0.3 meter as
the clearance between the roof and ceiling of the building is only 0.3 meters.
 Assume a dynamic loss coefficient of 0.3 for upstream to downstream and 0.8 for
upstream to branch and for the elbow. The dynamic loss coefficients for the
outlets may be taken as 1.0.
 A velocity method of duct design is to be taken.
