AIR CONDITIONING - II
(HEATING VENTILATION & AIR CONDITIONING)
Time: 3hours Max. Marks: 60
Answer any five questions
All questions carry equal marks
---

1.a) What are the various components of window air conditioner? Explain briefly their
working.
b) What are the different factors which must be considered for evaluating cooling load?
What are the different means by which this load can be reduced? [12]

2. An air conditioned hall of 1000 m3 volume is maintained at 250C DBT and 50% R.H.,
when outdoor air conditions are 430C DBT and 26.50C WBT. The hall sensible heat

bypass factor is 0.1. Calculate

i) The condition and mass flow rate of the supply air D
load is 20 KW. The fresh air is 20% of the total air supplied. The ADP is 110C and its

L
R
ii) The latent heat gain of the room
iii) The cooling load on the refrigeration plant. [12]

3.a)
b)
O
Explain the construction of friction chart and its use in duct design
List out the characteristics of good air distribution system. Discuss the location of

4. a)
b)
U W
supply and return grills in obtaining good air distribution.

What are the sources of pressure losses in air ducts? How can they be kept low?
Explain the functioning of a typical air duct system with the help of a schematic
[12]

5.a)
diagram.

N T
What is the importance of relative humidity for the selection of insulation?
[12]

J
b) Explain the important properties of Urethane foam insulation and the role played by it
in the air – conditioning industry. [12]

6.a) Explain the advantages and disadvantages of viscous filters over dry filters.
b) Which type of air cleaner would be selected for removing very small particles of dirt
and smoke from the air? Explain the working principle of this cleaner. [12]

7. An aircraft cooling system consists of a compressor, cooler and expansion turbine.

The compressor receives air at 1.2 bar and 600C from the engine supercharger. It is
compressed isentropically with an efficiency of 75% to 1.6 bar and cooled to 550C.
The air then expands isentropically through the turbine to 0.85 bar and the work
developed is used to drive the compressor. The turbine exhaust air is then sent to the
aircraft cabin for cooling. Determine
a) Temperature of air at turbine exhaust and turbine efficiency
b) C.O.P. of the system. [12]

8. Describe the working of a bootstrap air refrigeration system for an aircraft with the
help of a neat schematic diagram and also show the processes on T – s plot. [12]
