Summary Equipment Selection The general process layout of concept 1 is shown below. Where the systems main components are: - Chiller in connection with a cooling tower which serves the AHU - A boiler which serves the AHU - AHU which supplies the air to the conditioned space Shown below is the generally layout of a central air-conditioning system. Our design the AHU is also the gas furnace so that the one system can provide the heating and cooling needs of the home. Then a shower recapture and a solar water system shown are used to reduce the hot water load. More details are shown in equipment sizing Estimate DHW usage of the home Calculate the Load for DHW Q=mcT= 12675 Btuh Domestic Hot Water Concept Tb = [CsQTo + AxUxTx + q]/[CsQ + AxUx] Buffer Temperature Maximum Relative humidity for Winter Extra Loads Plumbing Sensible : q=ACF x 1.1 x ICFM x T Latent : q=ACF x 0.68 x ICFM x Grain difference Ts=Ti -0.65 x U x (HTD)= 70-0.65 x 0.63 x (77)= 38.5 oF Infiltration Duct Losses Other Considerations Duct Design STEP 1: Drawing the ducts layout: STEP 2: Obtaining CFM for each zone : STEP 3: Duct sizing STEP 4: Pressure Drop calculation: Riser Layout Supply of First floor and Basement Second Floor Supply and First Floor Return Second Floor Return Example of Duct sizing Total Pressure Drop for Longest Run We Know: We have 2 main branches of pipes, one for cold and one for hot water We know every house in Montreal has a pipe as an inlet pipe and 0.5 pipes for indoor Step 1 : Find the GPM for whole house; by looking at ASHRAE in the fixture units Step 2 : calculating the equivalent length for the fittings with the help of the chart 10_22b & the table 10_2 Step 3: calculate the pressure drop due to the straight pipe and then add on the head from the elevation and from the fixtures Step 4: Finding the run which has the highest pressure drop to see if the plumbing system is ok for residential system
