    i) Explanation on the psychometric process involved in determining the air-conditioning.

    In the design of air conditioners, acceptable heating and cooling means regulating the
    temperature of the air without changing its humidity. Sensible heating increases the temperature
    of the air-drying bulb by moving horizontally to the right on the psychrometric chart, which is
    achieved by heating radiators that increase heat energy. Conversely, sensible cooling lowers
    the air-dry bulb temperature by moving horizontally to the left on the psychrometric chart using
    a cooling coil to remove heat. These processes are necessary to maintain indoor comfort by
    ensuring that the air temperature is regulated to the desired level without changing the humidity,
    which is critical for the efficient operation and energy efficiency of the HVAC system.

    Next, the cooling and dehumidifying processes work together to reduce both air
    temperature and humidity. This is crucial or maintaining indoor comfort, especially in humid
    climates. During cooling, air passes over cooling coils filled with chilled water or refrigerant,
    which lowers the dry-bulb temperature of the air, indicated by horizontal movement to the left
    on the psychrometric chart. As the air cools, it can reach the dew point, causing moisture to
    condense and leave the air, resulting in dehumidification. This process is shown on the
    psychrometric chart as a downward movement, indicating a decrease in specific humidity.
    Effective removal of humidity ensures that the indoor air remains dry and pleasant, which
    prevents the formation of mold and musty odors and at the same time improves the cooling
    effect, because drier air feels cooler and more pleasant.

    b) Air parameter involved in designing the air conditioning:

    1. Saturation Temperature

    2. Humidity Ratio

    3. Dry Bulb Temperature (DBT)

    4. Wet Bulb Temperature (WBT)

    5. Enthalpy

    6. Humidity Ratio

    7. volume

    c) The weather in Malaysia is hot and humid year-round. As an engineer, you are
    appointed to design an air conditioning system that is suitable for an office building in
    this climate. Assume that the outside air temperature is 30°C with 65% relative
    humidity is to be conditioned before the air can be supplied into the room. Design a
    suitable air conditioning process to bring the air in the room to a “comfort condition.”
    Use ASHRAE psychrometric chart No 1. neatly plot the required air conditioning
    process and estimate the following air parameters values:

    Answer:

    Result from psychrometric chart:

    Parameter Outside Weather Comfort Zone

    Dew Bulb Temperature (⁰C) 30 28

    Relative Humidity (%) 65 58

    Moisture Content (g/kg) 18.3 14.2

    Dew Point Temperature (⁰C) 23.3 18.78

    Enthalpy (kJ/kg) 77.2 65.1

    i) Amount of moisture content: DBToutside-DBTcomfort zone

    =18.3 g/kg - 14.2 g/kg

    = 4.1 g/kg

    ii) Amount of heat moisture: MCoutside-MCcomfort zone

    = 77.2 kJ/kg - 65.1 kJ/kg

    = 12.1 kJ/kg

    iii) Amount of heat added: Enthalpycomfort zone-EnthalpyDPT at 100% RH

    = 65.1 kJ/kg - 54 kJ/kg

    = 11.1 kJ/kg
