Air Conditioning and Ventilation
The methods of handling air supply into the room
space include:
1. 100% Outdoor Supply Air, No recirculation
- uses 100% outdoor fresh air without recirculation.
2. Mixture of Outdoor Air and Re-circulated Air
- uses re-circulated air and mixes with outdoor air.
3. Outdoor Air and Re-circulated Air with External By-pass System
- replaces re-heater by an external by-pass system to modulate
supply air.

1. A space to be air-conditioned has a sensible heat load of 36 kW and a
latent heat load of 10.2 kW. The space is to maintained at 26°C DB and
50% RH. Outside air is at 32°C DB and 24°C WB temperatures. With a re-
heater to satisfy the space conditions, the conditioned air will enter the
space at 19°C. If 45% of the supply air is fresh air, and the rest is re-
circulated, find:
a. The volume flow rate of fresh air at supply conditions;
b. The apparatus dew-point temperature;
c. The refrigeration load in TR; and
d. The re-heater capacity.

2. An assembly hall had to have an air-conditioning unit (ACU) installed that
would be maintained at 26 °C DB and 50% RH. The ACU delivers air at 15
°C DB and the calculated sensible heat load, QS, is 150 kW and latent heat
load, QL, is 51.3 kW. Twenty percent by weight of extracted air is made up
of outside air at 34 °C DB and 60% RH, while the remaining air is extracted
by the air conditioner from the assembly hall. Determine the refrigeration
load in TR and the ventilation load in kW.
