Air Conditioning System
INTRODUCTION

The first large scale electrical air conditioning was inverted by Willis Havilland Carrier in July 17,1902 at Buffalo, NewYork, just one year after he graduated from Cornell university with a masters in engineering.
In 1928,WillisHavilland Carrierimproved and developed the residential air conditioner for private home used which call “weather make”.

Air conditioner, namely AC or air-con consists of 4 types of systems, which are window air conditioner,split air conditioner , packaged air conditioner , central air conditioning system. Each of the air conditioner has its own application.

Nowadays the most common air conditioner for people is Split Air Conditioner. A further discuss on this air conditioner will be explained in details.

FEATURES

A split air conditioner contains two separate component sections, one outdoor and one indoor. The outdoor section is a compressor that starts the cooling process, while the indoor component is an evaporator and fan. The two sections are connected with a set of electrical wires and tubing used to transport air between the two sections.

Indoor components

Components | Functions | | Evaporator coil:
It is where the heat exchange is done with the room. It consists of fins and tubes. | | Remote control:
It is where user control the functions of the air conditioner. Displays at the panel may indicate the mode of operation, timer, on/off status, fan speed and other special functions. Most newer units have remote control feature built into the system. | | Air Filter:It is located in front of the evaporator coil to trap any dust or particles before going into the evaporator. This is usually washable and re-useable. Users are recommended to clean it at least once in 3 months or more regularly if the environment is dirty.Air Grills:
There are supply and return air grills which are where the air enters and discharge from the indoor unit. | | Fan Blower:It is linked

    In 1820, British scientist and inventor Michael Faraday discovered that compressing and liquefying ammonia could chill air when the liquefied ammonia was allowed to evaporate. In 1842, Florida physician John Gorrie used compressor technology to create ice, which he used to cool air for his patients in his hospital in Apalachicola, Florida.[1] He hoped eventually to use his ice-making machine to regulate the temperature of buildings. He even envisioned centralized air conditioning that could cool entire cities. Though his prototype leaked and performed irregularly, Gorrie was granted a patent in 1851 for his ice-making machine. His hopes for its success vanished soon afterward when his chief financial backer died; Gorrie did not get the money he needed to develop the machine. According to his biographer Vivian M. Sherlock, he blamed the "Ice King", Frederic Tudor, for his failure, suspecting that Tudor had launched a smear campaign against his invention. Dr. Gorrie died impoverished in 1855 and the idea of air conditioning faded away for 50 years.…

    The air conditioner relys on the compressor to pump refrigerant through the system in order to provide cold air. When the compressor fails, the choices are to replace it or install a new air conditioning installation. Unless the system is fairly new, or still under warranty, replacement of the system is often the best…

    However, it became an integral part of a vicious circle: by consuming huge amounts of energy, air conditioners are contributing to climate change. As Plester (2016) states, similarly to a fridge, air conditioners pump out extra heat straight into the atmosphere. That extra heat makes cities hotter, raising night-time temperatures by up to 2C, which then encourages people to turn up their air conditioning even higher. Besides, air conditioning systems use powerful greenhouse gases called hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are thousands of times more potent than carbon…

    AHU System

    • 2 Pages

    The AHU and air distribution layout design for Block H is determined form cooling load calculation. There are several parameters and assumptions taken into account during the calculation. One of the assumption made is that the building has just been refurbish so air infiltration is minimize. The calculation part consists of the external load, internal load, total cooling load, duct sizing, piping sizing and AHU specifications. Since it will be used for commercial building, the system comprises of air-conditioning all the rooms in the whole building block except for the toilet which will use mechanical ventilation. Air Handling Unit (AHU) will be placed in a small room at the end of the block near the toilet. This is to maximize the utilization of space for functional usage rather than to take up the space for AHU system. It will also be easier in terms of maintenance wise since it is at the far end of the building and not enclosed between the rooms. Since the AHU system is separated from the room it make it more comfortable for the occupants because AHU will release heat and also noise due to vibration of equipment and auxiliaries. The system is also slightly overdesigned to make it easier for future expansion to ensure sustainability. Furthermore, since the system will degrade by time in terms of its performance and efficiency it is best to slightly overdesigned it.…

    It is described in Fig-4. Ambient air is sensibly cooled in two heat exchangers consecutively (2-3, 3-4) after dehumidification (1-2). Air is mixed with return air (4-5) and sensibly cooled in cooling coil by exchanging heat with cold water from cooling tower (5-6). It is then divided into two parts. One part is supplied to the conditioned space as supply air while the other part is further cooled in cooling tower (6-8) and supplied to the heat exchanger and finally exhausted (8-9). Desiccant wheel is regenerated by ambient air. In this cycle, there is provision of fresh air inlet to the conditioned space.…
