1. INTRODUCTION
HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) is the technology of indoor and vehicular
environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air
quality.HVAC is important in the design of medium to large industrial and office buildings
such as skyscrapers and in marine environments such as aquariums, where safe and healthy
building conditions are regulated with respect to temperature and humidity, using fresh air
from outdoors. Ventilating is the process of "changing" or replacing air in any space to
provide high indoor air quality (i.e. to control temperature, replenish oxygen, or remove
moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, and carbon dioxide). Ventilation is used
to remove unpleasant smells and excessive moisture, introduce outside air, to keep interior
building air circulating, and to prevent stagnation of the interior air. Ventilation includes both
the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building. It is one of
the most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings.
Methods for ventilating a building may be divided into mechanical/forced and natural types
Air conditioning and refrigeration are provided through the removal of heat. Heat can be
removed through radiation, convection, or conduction. Refrigeration conduction media such
as water, air, ice, and chemicals are referred to as refrigerants. A refrigerant is employed
either in a heat pump system in which a compressor is used to drive thermodynamic
refrigeration, or in a free cooling system which uses pumps to circulate a cool refrigerant.

2. REFRIGERATION CYCLE
A simple stylized diagram of the refrigeration cycle: 1) condensing coil, 2) expansion valve,
3) evaporator coil, 4) compressor
The system refrigerant starts its cycle in a gaseous state. The compressor pumps the
refrigerant gas up to a high pressure and temperature.
From there it enters a heat exchanger (sometimes called a condensing coil or condenser)
where it loses energy (heat) to the outside, cools, and condenses into its liquid phase.
An expansion valve (also called metering device) regulates the refrigerant liquid to flow
at the proper rate.
The liquid refrigerant is returned to another heat exchanger where it is allowed to
evaporate; hence the heat exchanger is often called an evaporating coil or evaporator. As
the liquid refrigerant evaporates it absorbs energy (heat) from the inside air, returns to the
compressor, and repeats the cycle. In the process, heat is absorbed from indoors and
transferred outdoors, resulting in cooling of the building.
In variable climates, the system may include a reversing valve that switches from heating in
winter to cooling in summer. By reversing the flow of refrigerant, the heat pump refrigeration
cycle is changed from cooling to heating or vice versa. This allows a facility to be heated and
cooled by a single piece of equipment by the same means, and with the same hardware.

3. PSYCHROMETRICS
Psychrometrics is terms used to describe the field of engineering concerned with the
determination of physical and thermodynamic properties of gas-vapor mixtures
The dry-bulb temperature is the temperature indicated by a thermometer exposed to the air in
a place sheltered from direct solar radiation. The term dry-bulb is customarily added to
temperature to distinguish it from wet-bulb and dewpoint temperature. In meteorology and
psychrometrics the word temperature by itself without a prefix usually means dry-bulb
temperature. Technically, the temperature registered by the dry-bulb thermometer of a
psychrometer. The name implies that the sensing bulb or element is in fact dry.
3|Page
3.2 Wet-bulb temperature (WBT)
A wet bulb temperature taken with air moving at about 1–2 m/s is referred to as a screen
temperature, whereas a temperature taken with air moving about 3.5 m/s or more is referred
to as sling temperature.A psychrometer is a device that includes both a dry-bulb and a wet-
bulb thermometer.
The ratio of the vapor pressure of moisture in the sample to the saturation pressure at the dry
bulb temperature of the sample.
The saturation temperature of the moisture present in the sample of air, it can also be defined
as the temperature at which the vapors changes into liquid (condensation). Usually the level
at which water vapor changes into liquid marks the base of the cloud in the atmosphere hence
called condensation level. So the temperature value that allows this process (condensation) to
take place is called the 'dew point temperature'.

3.8 Specific heat
Heat capacity is an extensive property of matter, meaning it is proportional to the size of the
system. When expressing the same phenomenon as an intensive property, the heat capacity is
divided by the amount of substance, mass, or volume, so that the quantity is independent of
the size or extent of the sample.
3.9 Ducts
Fig .3 Ducts
Ducts are used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) to deliver and remove
air. The needed airflows include, for example, supply air, return air, and exhaust air. Ducts
commonly also deliver ventilation air as part of the supply air. As such, air ducts are one
method of ensuring acceptable indoor air quality as well as thermal comfort.
3.10 Materials
3.10.1Galvanized steel
Galvanized mild steel is the standard and most common material used in fabricating
ductwork. For insulation purposes, metal ducts are typically lined with faced fiber glass
blankets (duct liner) or wrapped externally with fiber glass blankets (duct wrap).
3.10.2 Aluminium
Aluminium ductwork is lightweight and quick to install. Also, custom or special shapes of
ducts can be easily fabricated in the shop or on site.
5|Page
3.10.3 Fiberglass duct board
Fiberglass duct board panels provide built-in thermal insulation and the interior surface
absorbs sound, helping to provide quiet operation of the HVAC system.
Flexible ducts are typically made of flexible plastic over a metal wire coil to shape a tube
Elastomeric rubber
Glass wool
PUF
Thermo coal
Reflective bubble foil
Aluminium foil
Rock wool

3.12 Chiller
A chiller is a machine that removes heat from a liquid via a vapor-compression or absorption
refrigeration cycle. This liquid can then be circulated through a heat exchanger to cool air or
equipment as required. As a necessary byproduct, refrigeration creates waste heat that must
be exhausted to ambient or, for greater efficiency, recovered for heating purposes. Concerns
in design and selection of chillers include performance, efficiency, maintenance, and product
life cycle environmental impact.
In air conditioning systems, chilled water is typically distributed to heat exchangers, or coils,
in air handling units or other types of terminal devices which cool the air in their respective
space(s), and then the water is re-circulated back to the chiller to be cooled again. These
cooling coils transfer sensible heat and latent heat from the air to the chilled water, thus
cooling and usually dehumidifying the air stream. Chilled water temperatures can range from
35 to 45 °F (2 to 7 °C), depending upon application requirements.
Fig .6 Chillers
A fan coil unit (FCU) is a simple device consisting of a heating or cooling coil and fan. It is
part of an HVAC system found in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Typically
a fan coil unit is not connected to ductwork, and is used to control the temperature in the
space where it is installed, or serve multiple spaces. It is controlled either by a manual on/off
switch or by thermostat.
7|Page
Due to their simplicity, fan coil units are more economical to install than ducted or central
heating systems with air handling units. However, they can be noisy because the fan is within
the same space. Unit configurations are numerous including horizontal (ceiling mounted) or
vertical (floor mounted)
An air handler, or air handling unit (AHU), is a device used to regulate and circulate air as
part of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. An air handler is usually
a large metal box containing a blower, heating or cooling elements filter racks or chambers,
sound attenuators, and dampers. Air handlers usually connect to a ductwork system that
distributes the conditioned air through the building and returns it to the AHU. Sometimes
AHUs discharge (supply) and admit (return) air directly to and from the space served without
ductwork.
Small air handlers, for local use, are called terminal units, and may only include an air filter,
coil, and blower; these simple terminal units are called blower coils or fan coil units. A larger
air handler that conditions 100% outside air, and no recalculated air, is known as a makeup
air unit (MAU). An air handler designed for outdoor use, typically on roofs, is known as
a packaged unit (PU) or rooftop unit (RTU)

6 – Mixed (recalculated + outside) air duct
A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a duct, chimney,
VAV box, air handler, or other air handling equipment. A damper may be used to cut off
central air conditioning (heating or cooling) to an unused room, or to regulate it for room-by-
room temperature and climate control. Its operation can be manual or automatic. Manual
dampers are turned by a handle on the outside of a duct. Automatic dampers are used to
regulate airflow constantly and are operated by electric or pneumatic motors, in turn
controlled by thermostat or building automation system. Automatic or motorized dampers
may also be controlled by a solenoid, and the degree of air-flow calibrated, perhaps according
to signals from the thermostat going to the actuator of the damper in order to modulate the
flow of air-conditioned air in order to effect climate control
9|Page
Fig. 9 Volume Control Dampers
A cooling tower is a heat rejection device, installed outside of the building envelope, through
which condenser water is circulated. Refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle is condensed in a
refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger. Heat rejected from the refrigerant increases the
temperature of the condenser water, which must be cooled to permit the cycle to continue.
The condenser water is circulated to the cooling tower where evaporative cooling causes heat
to be removed from the water and added to the outside air. The cooled condenser water is
then piped back to the condenser of the chiller.
3.17 Valves
A butterfly valve is a valve which can be used for isolating or regulating flow. The closing
mechanism takes the form of a disk. Operation is similar to that of a ball valve, which allows
for quick shut off. Butterfly valves are generally favored because they are lower in cost to
other valve designs as well as being lighter in weight, meaning less support is required. The
disc is positioned in the center of the pipe, passing through the disc is a rod connected to an
actuator on the outside of the valve. Rotating the actuator turns the disc either parallel or
perpendicular to the flow. Unlike a ball valve, the disc is always present within the flow,
therefore a pressure drop is always induced in the flow, regardless of valve position.

Thus,
Loss = n [Vp2- Vp1]
Where,
“n” is the loss coefficient whose value depend upon the slope of taper.
Vp1 &Vp2 are the inlet and exit velocities.

Fig.31 Friction Losses and Equivalent Length of Fittings

Chilled water circuit is closed loop.In a closed system, the fluid is not exposed to a break in
the piping system that interrupts forced flow at any point.
Static head represents the net change in height, in feet, that the pump must overcome. It
applies only in open systems. Note that in a closed loop system, the static head is zero
because the fluid on one side of the system pushes the fluid up the other side of the system, so
the pump does not need to overcome any elevation.
Where:
Friction pressure drop = Piping pressure drop + terminal unit pressure drop + source unit
* The "source unit" is defined as the boiler, chiller, or heat exchanger, which creates the hot
or chilled water.
For calculating the chilled water pump head, the longest loop is considered and the loop is
divided into nodes. Friction loss between all nodes calculated and summed up. Along with it
friction loss for equipment’s also considered. The calculation set is as follows
