Air Conditioning Systems
Introduction
 Supply and maintain desirable internal atmospheric conditions for human
comfort, irrespective of thermal conditions.
 Factors affecting comfort air conditioning:
 Temperature of air
 Humidity of air
 Purity of air
 Motion of air
 Equipments used in air conditioning system:
- Circulation fan - Supply outlets
- Air conditioning unit - Return outlets
- Supply duct - Filters
