WHAT IS AIR CONDITIONING?
• A fan forces air into ducts • Supply ducts transport conditioned air into
building through diffusers or supply registers
evaporator andcondenser doing the same function as in the vapor compression system. The
absorber does the suction function of the compressor and the generator replaces the discharge side
of the compressor
WATER CHILLED
AC SYSTEM
The main system components of the
central cooling plant are the:
•Chiller
•Air Handling Unit (AHU)
•Cooling Tower
•Pumps
The chiller will usually be located either in the
basement or on the roof and this depends on
what type of chiller is used. Roof top chillers are
usually “Air cooled” whereas basement chillers
are usually “Water cooled” but they both perform
the same function which is to generate cold
water for air conditioning by removing the
unwanted heat from the building. The only
difference is how the chiller discards the
unwanted heat.
Chilled water:
The evaporator of the chiller is where the “chilled water” is generated. The
“chilled water” leaves the evaporator at around 6°C (42.8°F) and is pushed
around the building by the chilled water pump. The chilled water flows up the
height of the building to each floor in pipes known as “risers”. These pipes are
known as risers no matter if the water is flowing upwards or downwards within
them.
The chilled water branches off the risers into smaller diameter pipes which
head to the fan coil units (FCU’s) and Air Handling Units (AHU’s) to provide air
conditioning. The AHU’s and FCU’s are basically boxes with fans inside that
suck air in from the building and push it across the heating or cooling coils to
change the temperature of the air and then push this air back out into the
building. The chilled water enters the AHU/FCU and passes through the cooling
coil (a series of thin pipes) where it will absorb the heat of the air blowing
across. The chilled water heats up and the air blowing across it cools down.
When the chilled water leaves the cooling coil it will now be warmer at around
12°C (53.6°F). The warm chilled water then heads back to the evaporator, via
the return riser, and once it enter the evaporator a refrigerant will absorb the
unwanted heat and move this over to the condenser. The chilled water will then
leave cool again, ready to circulate around the building and collect more
unwanted heat.
Condenser water:
The condenser of the chiller is where the unwanted heat is collected
before being sent to the cooling towers. A refrigerant passes between
the evaporator and the condenser to move all the unwanted heat.
Another loop of water, known as “condenser water”, passes in a loop
between the condenser and the cooling tower. The refrigerant collects
the heat from the “chilled water” loop in the evaporator and moves
this to the “condenser water” loop in the condenser.
The condenser water enters the condenser at around 27°C (80.6°F)
and will pass through, collecting heat along the way. By the time it
leaves the condenser it will be around 32°C (89.6°F). The condenser
water and the refrigerant never mix, they are always separated by the
pipe wall, heat just transfers through the wall. Once the condenser
water has passed through the condenser and picked up the unwanted
heat, it will head up to the cooling towers to dump this heat and
return cooler ready to collect more heat.
