 Air Conditioning design for comfortable room
Outside air condition: Dry bulb temperature 32C
Wet bulb temperature 25C
Desired inside condition: Dry bulb temperature 22 C
Relative humidity 55%
Specification of room: Length 3.8m
Breadth 2.33m
Height2.7m
Wall made of concrete block with cement motor
Over all heat coefficient of block U= 3.18Wm2
Two side plaster thickness =1.65cm*2
Specification of window: 1.03m*0.88m (Single window facing west direction)
Considered parameter in the room:
No of occupants: 2
No of bulb: 1
Capacity: 18w/m2
Sensible heat gain per person: 60W
Latent heat gain per person: 80W
40 percent of fresh air and 60 percent of recirculated air is used in the cooling coil of the
HVAC system.

Solar heat gain through west facing wall

=3.18*(3.38*2.33-1.03*0.88)*(32-25)
=0.1328kW

Solar heat gain through south facing wall

=3.18*3.38*2.7*(32-25)
=0.2031kW

Solar heat gain through glass window

=1.03*0.88*(32-25)
=0.00634kW

Heat gain from CFL bulb

=18*(3.38*2.33)
=0.1417kW

Sensible heat gain from persons

=2*60=0.12kW
Latent heat gain from persons
=2*80=0.16kW
 Figure 1. Psychometric Chart

From the psychometric chart:

Specific volume v1=0.885m3/kg of dry air
h1=80.4kJ/kg of dry air
h2=45kJ/kg of dry air
ha=55.6kJ/kg of dry air

LBHANo of air changes

Volume of infiltration air V1 = 60 m3/min

= 60 (No. of air changes=1)

=0.36m3/min
V 1 0.36

Mass of infiltration air m1 = v 1 0.885 = 0.4kg/min

Sensible heat gain due to infiltrated air

=m1(hA-h2) =0.34 (55.6-45)
=3.604kJ/min=0.060kW
Latent heat gain due to infiltrated air
=m1(h1-hA)=0.34(80.4-55.6)
=8.432kJ/min=0.1405kW

Room sensible heat RSH

=Sensible heat gain due to infiltrated air + Sensible heat gain from
persons + Sensible heat gain from CFL bulb + Solar heat gain
through west facing wall+ Solar heat gain through south facing
wall+ Solar heat gain through glass window
=0.060 + 0.1328 + 0.2031 + 0.00634 + 0.1417 + 0.12=0.6639kW
Room latent heat gain RLH
=Latent heat gain due to infiltrated air + Latent heat gain from
persons
=0.1405 +0 .16=0.3005kW

Recommendation and conclusion

The room was lacking the ventilation due to which there was not proper
circulation of air. Thus for the proper circulation of air and natural cooling there
must be provision of proper ventilation in the east wall at the top.
The south wall side consist enough free space and yet lacking of window.
Therefore proper sized window was recommended in the south facing wall.
There was lacking of passive solar heating system. The moisture in the wall of
north could be removed by using proper passive solar heating system.
