An AC system is not only cools the room, that system do many things to make our life comfortable. It removes dust and dirt and fill with fresh air
Air condition system makes our life very comfortable.
We can protect hot or cold weather by air conditioning system
2. INTRODUCTION
•Building is a structure that has a roof and walls and stands
permanently in one place.
•The primary function of the building is to provide shelter of
its occupants.
•But the building function cannot be limited to provide
shelter only.
•It should be suitable for occupant’s safe, comfortable &
livable environment.
•So the building should be design to provide an environment
where its occupants can feel comfortable life.
3. Building services are the systems installed in buildings to
make them comfortable, functional, efficient and safe.
1. Plumbing and drainage system
2. Electrical supply system
3. Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning system
4. Fire Protection and Detection system
5. Vertical and Horizontal Transportation
6. Solar power system
7. Gas supply system
8. Information and Communication Technology
network
4. Air Conditioning System
• Air conditioning is a system for controlling the
humidity, ventilation and removing heat and
moisture from an occupied space, to improve the
comfortable condition of its occupants.
• Air conditioning is the science which deals with the
supply and maintaining desirable internal
atmospheric condition irrespective of external
condition.
5. Types of Air Conditioners
There are 03 types of air conditioners
1. Room Air Conditioning system
• Split Air Conditioning system
• Window air conditioning system
2. Package Air Conditioning System
• Water cooled condenser
• Air cooled condenser
3. Central Air conditioning System
• Direct expansion or DX central AC plant
• Chilled water central AC plant
6. 1. Split Air Conditioning System
• The split air conditioner
comprises of two parts: the
outdoor unit and the indoor
unit.
• The outdoor unit, fitted outside
the room, houses components
like the compressor, condenser
and expansion valve.
7. • Split air conditioners are used for small rooms and
halls, usually in places where window air conditioners
cannot be installed. However, these days many people
prefer split air conditioner units even for places where
window air conditioners can be fitted.
• Types of Split Air Conditioning System
I. Wall mounted split AC
II. Floor mounted/Tower split AC
III. Ceiling mounted split AC
IV. Multi Split AC
8. 2. Window air conditioning system
•Window air conditioners are one
of the most commonly used and
cheapest type of air
conditioners.
•Window air-conditioner units
are reliable and simple-to-install
solution to keep a room cool
while avoiding the costly
construction of a central air
system.
•This is the most commonly used air conditioner for single rooms
9. 3. Package Air Conditioning System
•The window and split air conditioners are usually used for
the small air conditioning capacities up to 5 tons.
•The packaged air conditioners are used for the cooling
capacities in between these two extremes
•These units are used commonly in places like restaurants,
telephone exchanges, homes, small halls, etc.
•There are 02 types in market Water Cooled Condenser AC, Air
Cooled Condenser.
10. 4. Central Air conditioning System
•Central air conditioning is used for cooling big buildings,
houses, offices, entire hotels, gyms, movie theaters,
factories etc.
•If the whole building is to be air conditioned, HVAC
engineers find that putting individual units in each of
the rooms is very expensive making this a better option.
•Cooling big halls, malls, huge spaces, galleries etc. is
usually only feasible with central conditioning units
11.
12. • Central air conditioning is a system in
which are is cooled at a central
location and distributed to and from
rooms by one or more fans and
ductworks. The work of the air
conditioner compressor is what makes
the whole process of air conditioning
possible. The compression of the
refrigerant gas enables it to discharge
heat out of the building, which is show
the cool air is created.
VENTILATION SYSTEM
13. Central AC system
• Central plant systems have one central source of
conditioned air which is distributed in a network of
ductwork.
14. COMPONENTS OF A CENTRALIZED A/C
SYSTEM
1. Condenser
Refrigeration system must also reject the heat that it
removes. There are two options for heat rejection.
I. Air cooled unit
II. Water cooled
15. 2. Compressor
• The compressor put the air conditioning refrigerant
under extremely high pressure. When A/C is on, the
compressor, low pressure refrigerant in, and compresses
it to high pressure, hot refrigerant. The refrigerant travel
to the condenser.
16. 3. Expansion Valve
• The high pressure liquid refrigerant entering the
expansion valve is quite warm. This may be verified
by feeling the liquid line at its connection to the
expansion valve. The liquid refrigerant leaving the
expansion valve is quite cold.
17. 4. Evaporator
The reason for refrigeration is to remove heat from
air, water or other substance. It is hear that the
liquid refrigerant is expanded and evaporated. It
acts as a heat exchanger that transfers heat from
the substance being cooled to a boiling
temperature.
18. 5. Chiller
Industrial water chillers are used in a variety of
applications where chilled water or liquid are
circulated through process equipment. Commonly
chiller are used to cool products. The function of
industrial chiller is to move heat from one location to
another place.
19. 6. Chilled water pumps
The Chilled water pump which circulates the chilled
water through the chiller’s evaporator section and
through the cooling coils of the AHUs.
20. 7. Cooling tower
• The cooling towers are used to transfer heat from
cooling water to the atmosphere. Two type of cooling
tower
1) Cross flow Cooling tower
2) Counter flow Cooling tower
21. 8. Air handling units
Air handling units is a devise used to condition and
circulate air as part of a heating, ventilating and air –
conditioning (HVAC) system. AHU discharge (supply) and
admit (return) air directly to and from the space screed
without ductwork.
22. 9. Fan coil unit
Used to control the temperature in the space where it
is installed or serve multiple spaces. It is controlled
either by a manual on/off switch or by thermostat. Fan
coil units are more economical to install than ducted
or central heating systems with air handling units.
They can be noisy because the fan is within the same
space.
23. DESIGN PARAMETERS RELATED TO THE AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEM
1) Heating - the addition of thermal energy in accordance with
maintain space or process conditions within response to thermal heat
loss
2) Cooling - the elimination of thermal energy to maintain space or
process conditions in response to thermal heat gain
3) Humidifying - the addition of water vapor to maintain space or
process moisture content
4) Dehumidifying - the elimination of water vapor to maintain space
or process moisture content
24. 5) Cleaning - the process of disposing of particulate and bio-contaminants
from the conditioned space
6) Ventilating - the process of supplying appropriate quantities of fresh
outside air for maintaining air quality and building pressurization
7) Effectiveness - the process of achieving the desired thermal energy
transfer, humidity control, filtration, and delivery of ventilation air to the
breathing area of the occupied space in accordance with required needs
