Air Changes Air Conditioning Air flow Balance Capacity Cleaning Cooling Cooling load Dehumidification Page 1 ‘Aug, 04 DEFINITIONS - AIR indicates the number of times that the air volume of a space is, renewed per hour. means that the air is cleaned, heated or cooled. (quantity) is decided for each space based on: a Conditions, summer or winter. b. Number of people simultaneously using the room space. c. Minimum air changes according to requirements from authorities or owner or from experience. The plant will be commissioned and adjusted so that the designed capacities are maintained. If the adjustment is altered, there will be unbalance with uneven temperatures as a result, Changes of the plant should be made only in co-operation with ABB Automation Technologies. of the plant is the sum of all air flows, Each spaces is calculated for winter cycle and summer cycle. The maximum quantity for each space is deciding. This maximum does not occur simultaneously for all spaces, but the system must be dimensioned to cover the maximum of each space, independent on other spaces. Heating and cooling capacities are calculated for the lowest resp. the highest condition specified. of the air is made with filters of different grades, from simple filter material to fine filters with an efficiency of 99%. is made centrally. The air is cooled to the lowest temperature required in any part of the accommodation, normally about 8 - 10°C lower than the required room temperature. is based on specified conditions and following transmission losses to atmosphere, adjacent warmer spaces, sun radiation, heat from persons, light, apparatus etc. of the air takes place when cooling by partly condensation of the moisture content of the air. The moisture, condensing on the cold fins of the cooling coil, is drained off from the bottom tray. The amount of condensate depends on the absolute moisture content of the air and the cooling-down capacity. Energy Recovery Heating Heating load Humidification Recirculation vav Page 2 Aug, 04 is attained by means of an exchanger (i.e. rotor) where supply air and ‘exhaust air passes in opposite directions through the two halves of the exchanger. During winter conditions the outside air is heated by the exhaust air. During the summer conditions the outside air is cooled by the exhaust air, wherever the indoor temperature is lower than the outside air temperature. can be made in one or two steps. Heating in one step can be used for spaces or system which only required a constant temperature of the supply air. ‘Two-step-heating is split up in preheating and reheating. Preheating will give a constant base temperature. Reheating is an addition to preheating and varies due to the demand, depending on system or local dispositions. is calculated on specified outside and inside temperatures and following transmission losses to atmosphere or to adjacent spaces. All doors to weather decks (also from alley-ways) are meant to be closed. of the air is arranged by adding moisture (water or steam). It should be limited only to avoid a too dry condition in the accommodation, Addition of moisture is not to recommend when using retum air. is used in order to reduce the cooling and heating load for the plant. The mixture of return and outside air is decided from various limits. Variable Air Volume is a system to optimize the capacity for each and every load of a space takes place when air is supplied into a space or is exhausted from the same. The air supply can be untreated outside air or treated by cleaning, recirculation, heating, humidification, cooling, dehumidification,
