Abstract
Water-cooled chiller systems have typically been designed around entering condenser water temperatures of 85F with
a Optimization of Water - Cooled Chiller Cooling Tower Combinations The warm water leaving the chilled water coils
is pumped to the evaporator of the chiller, where the unwanted heat from the building is transferred by the latent heat
of vaporization of the refrigerant. The compressor of the chiller then compresses the refrigerant to a higher pressure,
adding the heat of compression in the process. The high pressure refrigerant then moves to the economical condenser
water flow of 3.0 USGPM/ton and a 10F denser, where the unwanted heat is rerange. In recent years, there has been
considerable debate on the merits of designing around lower condenser water flow rates with a higher range in order to
improve system lifecycle costs. However, two other parameters must also be considered in any analysis - approach and
design wet bulb. The question to be answered is: What nominal condenser water flow rate and approach is best from a
first cost standpoint as well as from a full load energy standpoint at any given wet bulb.

Central air conditioner unit is an energy moving or converted machines that are designed to cool or heat the entire house. It does not create heat or cool. It just removes
heat from one area, where it is undesirable, to an area
where it is less significant.

INTRODUCTION
Refrigeration for personal comfort was first used in 1902.
By 1997, 72% of all American households had air-conditioning and 47% of all households were cooled with
central air. According to the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI), 81% of all new homes constructed
were equipped with central air-conditioning in 1996.
For a single family, detached home, the amount of energy
dedicated to air-conditioning can be quite significant. In
Atlanta, for example, air-conditioning accounts for approximately 19% of energy costs, which includes both gas
and electricity, or 310 dollars per year.
It also accounts for 32% of the total peak power demand
of electricity in these homes. Obviously, improving the
efficiency of residential air-conditioning units would decrease utility bills and pollution produced by the power
generation.

Technology (IJMET).
CONCLUSION:
This project deals with DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION
OF WATER COOLED CONDENSER FOR A CENTRAL
AIR CONDITIONING UNIT In this project work central
air conditioner condenser (heat exchanger) has analyzed
with the variation of 3 materials and 1/2/4/6 passages to
suggest the optimum design material.
Initially data collection and literature survey was conducted to understand the approach and methodology
through this material, boundary & lode conditions was
selected.
3d modeling and assembly for1/2/4/6 passages has been
done and exported to Ansys for further investigation.
Thermal analysis was conducted by varying 3 materials
as per the analysis results material2 & 3(copper & copper
-aluminum alloy) was showing better results than traditional material Admiralty brass. Copper is having more
features than copper-aluminum alloy but while considering the cost better to go with copper-aluminum alloy with
increased passages like 4 or 6 to improve performance.
