[ Calculation conditions to get capacity required ]

a. Air conditioned floor area is 400 m2, occupancy rate by people is 0.2 person/m2,
and OA volume required is 25 m3/hr.person. ( 14.7 cfm/person )
b. Indoor sensible cooling load is 23,000 kcal/hr ( 91,271.36 B.T.U./hr ) while air conditioned.
c. Specific heat under constant pressure of air is 0.24 kcal/kg.°C, density of air is 1.2 kg/m3
d. Ignore heat gain from fan and duct system.

(1) Please get OA volume ( m3/hr ) or ( cfm )

400 m2 x 0.2 P /m2 x 25 m3 /hr.P = 2,000 m3/hr

(2) Get SA volume ( m3/hr ) or ( cfm )

23,000 / [ 0.24 x 1.2 x ( 20 – 13 )] = 11,408 m3 /hr

 L-1 No. 16/ 16 May 2015

(3) Get enthalpy ( kcal/kg ) or ( B.T.U./kg ) at mixing point of OA and RA

( at point in Figure - 1 & 2 )

Enthalpy == ( 11.0 x ( SA - OA ) + 20.0 x OA ) / SA

= ( 11.0 x ( 11,408 - 2,000 ) + 20.0 x 2,000 ) / 11,408
= 12.58 kcal/kg

(4) Get OA cooling load ( kcal/hr ) or ( B.T.U./hr )

1.2 x OA x ( ① - ② )
= 1.2 x 2,000 x ( 20.0 - 11.0 ) = 21,600 kcal/hr

(5) Get cooling capacity required ( kcal/hr ) or ( B.T.U./hr )

1.2 x SA x ( ③ - ④ )
= 1.2 x 11,408 x ( 12.58 - 8.0 ) = 62,698 kcal/hr
