The two zones are held at 21oCdb 50% saturation when the
outdoor air state is 28oCdb, 19.5oCwb in summer and -2oC
saturated in winter. fresh air, 30% by mass, is continuously
provided to each zone.
If the contact factor of the cooler coil is 0.85 and the off-coil
state is 10oCdb, determine
Zone 1 Zone 2
Summer:
Sensible heat gain 25kW 20kW
latent heat gain 10kW 5kW
Winter:
Sensible heat loss 15kW 10kW
latent heat gain 5kW 5kW
The “cold” deck contact factor is 0.83 and the leaving air
temperature is 10ocdb in summer and in winter the maximum
leaving air temperature at the “hot” deck is 30oCdb.

Summer: SHG = 40kW SHG = 30kW
SHG = 5kW LHG = 7.5kW
Winter: SHL=7.5kW SHG = 7.5kW
LLHG = 5kW LHG = 7.5kW

Summer operation
1 Plot the states for outdoor and room air (Os, R) and ADP on
the psychrometric chart
2 Draw a line ADP-Os
3 As the supply temperature is 8C lowere, hence t ss = 13Cdb
4 Calculate RRL and draw it from R to meet t ss = 13Cdb . Obtain
the state of supply air: g ss = 5.7 gss=5.7g/kgair

Vow = 0.86m 3 / kg
Comment 1:
There are some discrepancies between the results here and those at
the end of the questions. This was because of using psychrometric
chart to find figures. A tiny tilt of the lines leads to a slight different
result. But in engineering, a small degree of uncertainty is always
inevitable and acceptable.
Comment 2:
The cure is that in Summer the room temperature does not need to
be 21, but 24Cdb. A fan slower is in place. Hence in winter mode, the
supply will be just right.

There is a need for adding moist.
∆g = g r − g g = 0.0068 − 0.006 = 0.0008 kg/kg.d.a.
Total moist=0.0008*10.46=8.4g/s water vapour is to spray into
the air.
