Mixing of two airstreams occurs when the fresh-air intake
joins the recirculated room air. The quantity of each air
stream is regulated by multileaf dampers operated by
electric motors under the direction of an automatic control
system.
15. Humidification In winter, incoming fresh air
with a low moisture content can be humidified
by steam injection, banks of water sprays,
evaporation from a heated water tank, a
spinning disc atomizer or a soaked porous
plastic sponge.
A variable air volume (VAV) system has either
an air volume control damper or a centrifugal
fan in the terminal unit to control the quantity
of air flowing into the room in response to
signals from a room air temperature sensor.
The single-duct system (Fig. 5.10) is used for a
large room such as an atrium, a banking hall, a
swimming pool, or a lecture, entertainment or
operating theatre. It can be applied to groups
of rooms with a similar demand for air
conditioning, such as offices facing the same
side of the building.

Dissecting HVAC Systems
• while these five loops can be used to describe virtually any HVAC system, not
every system uses all five loops.
• while another loop could be added for heating and humidifying the space in
some systems, this clinic focuses primarily on comfort cooling, not heating.
• The purpose is to understand the components of different types of HVAC systems.
• The premise of this method is that any HVAC system can be dissected into basic
subsystems.
• These subsystems will be referred to as “loops.”
• There are five primary loops that can describe virtually any type of HVAC system.
17. Airside Loop
• The first loop is the airside loop, and the first component of this loop is the conditioned
space.
• The first two comfort requirements mentioned were temperature and humidity.
• In order to maintain the
dry-bulb temperature in
the conditioned space,
heat (referred to as
sensible heat) must be
added or removed at the
same rate as it leaves or
enters the space.
• In order to maintain the
humidity level in the space,
moisture (sometimes
referred to as latent heat)
must be added or removed
at the same rate as it
leaves or enters the space.
18. supply air:
Most HVAC systems used today deliver conditioned (heated, cooled,
humidified, or dehumidified) air to the conditioned space to add or remove
sensible heat and moisture. This conditioned air is called supply air.
return air:
The air that carries the heat and moisture out of the space is called return air.
Imagine the conditioned supply air as a sponge. In the cooling mode, as it
enters a space, this “sponge” (supply air) absorbs sensible heat and moisture.
The amount of sensible heat and moisture absorbed depends on the
temperature and humidity, as well as the quantity, of the supply air. Assuming a
fixed quantity of air, if the supply air is colder, it can remove more sensible heat
from the space. If the supply air is drier, it can remove more moisture from the
space.
19. • supply fan: The next component of the airside loop is a supply fan that delivers the
supply air (SA) to the space.
• return fan: This same supply fan is often used to also draw the return air out of the
space. Alternatively, some systems use a second fan, called a return fan, to draw air
from the space and move it back to the equipment that contains the supply fan.
• Filter: The air must also be filtered. In a typical HVAC system, the mixed air passes
through a filter to remove many of the airborne contaminants.
Outdoor air (OA)
return air (RA)
exhaust air (EA)
mixed air (MA)
20. cooling coil: As mentioned earlier, during the cooling mode, the supply air must be cold
enough to absorb excess sensible heat from the space and dry enough to
absorb excess moisture (latent heat). A heat exchanger, commonly known as a
cooling coil, is often used to cool and dehumidify the supply air before it is
delivered to the space.
A typical cooling coil includes rows of tubes passing through sheets of formed
fins. A cold fluid, either water or liquid refrigerant, enters one header at the end
of the coil and then flows through the tubes, cooling both the tubes and the
fins.
Figure 8
22. Figure 9 shows an example of a cooling coil that has chilled water flowing
through it. As the warm, humid mixed air passes through the coil, it comes into
contact with the cold tubes and fins. Sensible heat is transferred from the air to
the fluid inside the tubes, causing the air to be cooled.
Additionally, if the outside surface temperature of the tubes and fins is below
the dew-point temperature of the entering air, moisture contained in the air will
condense on the tubes and fins. This condensed liquid then flows down the fin
surfaces into a drain pan located underneath the coil, and is piped away. The air
(supply air) leaving the coil is colder and drier than when it entered.
Many HVAC systems also use the airside loop for heating and humidification.
Often, a heating coil or humidifier is located near the cooling coil in the same
airside loop. Alternatively, a heating coil or humidifier may be part of a second,
separate airside loop. Assuming a fixed quantity of air, if the supply air is
warmer, it can add more sensible heat to the space. If the supply air is more
humid, it can add more moisture to the space. For simplicity, however, this
period focuses primarily on comfort cooling.
23. Figure 10
The airside loop responds to changing cooling loads in the
conditioned space by varying either
• the temperature or
• the quantity of air delivered to the space.
A constant-volume system provides a constant quantity of supply
air and varies the supply-air temperature in response to the
changing cooling load in the space.
24. A variable-air-volume (VAV) system varies the quantity of constant temperature
supply air in response to the changing cooling load in the space.
In this system, a VAV terminal unit is added to the airside loop.
Figure 11
25. A supply-air distribution system, typically constructed of sheet-metal ducts,
fittings, and diffusers, is used to direct the supply air from the central air
handler to one or more conditioned spaces. The example airside loop in
Figure 14 includes a central air handler and ductwork to deliver supply air to
multiple VAV terminal units.
From each VAV terminal unit, the supply air travels through a section of flexible
duct to remotely located diffusers. Diffusers are used to distribute the supply
air effectively to the conditioned space. Proper air diffusion is an important
comfort consideration, especially in VAV systems, to avoid dumping cold
supply air on the occupants of the space.
Figure 14
26. In Figure 15, air returns from the conditioned space to the central air handler
through an open ceiling plenum. The plenum is the space between the ceiling
and the roof, or floor, above.
Alternatively, a separate return-air duct system could be used to direct the
return air back to the air handler.
Figure 15
28. Chilled-Water Loop
In the airside loop, a cooling coil is used to cool and dehumidify the supply
air. As mentioned, the cold fluid flowing through the tubes of the coil may be
either water or liquid refrigerant. Systems that use water flowing through the
cooling coil also contain a chilled-water loop.
Heat energy flows from a higher-temperature substance to a lower-temperature
substance. Therefore, in order for heat to be transferred from the air, the fluid flowing
through the tubes of the cooling coil must be colder than the air passing over the tubes and
fins.
29. It has also been mentioned that the water flowing through the cooling coil must
be colder than the air passing through it. A heat exchanger is used to cool the
water that returns from the coil. This heat exchanger, called an evaporator, is
one component of the refrigeration (cooling) equipment.
Figure 18 shows a shell-and-tube evaporator that has cold liquid refrigerant
flowing through the tubes. Warm water enters at one end of the shell and fills
the space surrounding the tubes. Heat is transferred from the water to the refrigerant inside
the tubes, and chilled water leaves from the opposite end of
the shell.
Figure 18
30.
31. The third component of the chilled-water loop is a pump that moves water
around the loop. This pump needs to have enough power to move the water
through the piping, the evaporator, the tubes of the coil, and any other
accessories installed in the chilled-water loop.
Similar to the airside loop, the chilled-water loop responds to changing cooling
loads by varying either the temperature or the quantity of water delivered to the
cooling coil. The most common method, however, is to vary the quantity of
water flowing through the cooling coil by using a control valve. As the cooling
load decreases, the modulating control valve reduces the rate of chilled-water
flow through the coil, decreasing its cooling capacity.
Figure 19
Notice that the control valve is located at the
outlet, or downstream, of the
cooling coil. This location ensures that the
tubes inside the coil are always full
of water. A valve located at the inlet, or
upstream, of the coil may modulate to
the point where the water just “trickles”
through the tubes, not filling the entire
tube diameter. The result is unpredictable heat
transfer and less-stable control.
34. Refrigeration Loop
The third loop is the refrigeration loop. Recall that in the chilled-water loop, the
evaporator allows heat to transfer from the water to cold liquid refrigerant. As heat is
transferred from the water to the refrigerant, the liquid refrigerant boils. The resulting
refrigerant vapor is further warmed inside the evaporator before being drawn to the
compressor.
The compressor is used
to pump the low-
pressure refrigerant
vapor from the
evaporator and compress
it to a higher pressure.
This increase in pressure
also raises the
temperature of the
refrigerant vapor.
35. After being discharged from the compressor, the hot, high-pressure refrigerant
vapor enters a condenser. The condenser is a heat exchanger that transfers
heat from the hot refrigerant vapor to air, water, or some other fluid that is at a
colder temperature. As heat is removed from the refrigerant, it condenses and
returns to the liquid phase.
Figure 24
36. The condenser shown in Figure 24 is a water-cooled condenser that transfers
heat from the refrigerant to a separate condenser-water loop.
The three most common types of condensers are air-cooled, evaporative, and
water-cooled. A typical air-cooled condenser has the hot, high-pressure
refrigerant vapor flowing through the tubes of a finned-tube heat exchanger
and uses propeller-type fans to draw outdoor air over the outer surfaces of the
tubes and fins.
Figure 25
37. A variation of the air-cooled condenser is the evaporative condenser. Within
this device, the refrigerant flows through tubes and air is drawn or blown over
the tubes by a fan. The difference is that water is sprayed on the outer surfaces
of the tubes. As the air passes over the tubes, it causes a small portion of the
water to evaporate. This evaporation process improves the heat transfer from
the condensing refrigerant. The remaining water then falls into the sump to be
recirculated by a small pump and used again.
The most common type of water-cooled condenser is the shell-and-tube
design. With this design, water flows through the tubes while the hot
refrigerant vapor fills the space surrounding the tubes. As heat is transferred
from the refrigerant to the water, the refrigerant vapor condenses on the outer
surfaces of the tubes and the condensed liquid refrigerant falls to the bottom of
the shell.
38. The liquid refrigerant that leaves the condenser is still at a relatively high
temperature. The final step of the refrigeration cycle is for this hot liquid refrigerant to
pass through anexpansion device.
This device creates a large pressure drop that reduces the
pressure, and correspondingly the temperature, of the refrigerant, where it is
again cold enough to absorb heat inside the evaporator. There are several types
of expansion devices, but the one shown in this example is a thermostatic
expansion valve (TXV).
Figure 26
39. In this arrangement, the chilled-water loop does not exist. Heat is transferred
from the airside loop directly to the refrigeration loop.
Figure 29
41. Heat-Rejection Loop
The fourth loop is the heat-rejection loop. In the refrigeration loop, the
condenser transfers heat from the hot refrigerant to air, water, or some other
fluid. water enters the condenser , absorbs heat from the hot
refrigerant, and leaves.
The water flowing through the condenser must be colder than the hot
refrigerant vapor. A heat exchanger is required to cool the water that returns
from the condenser, back to the desired temperature, before it is pumped back to the
condenser. When a water-cooled condenser is used, this heat exchanger is typically either a
cooling tower or a fluid cooler (also known as a dry cooler).
Figure 31
42. In a cooling tower, the warm water returning from the condenser is sprayed
over the fill inside the tower while a propeller fan draws outdoor air upward
through the fill. One common type of fill consists of several thin, closely spaced
layers of plastic or wood. The water spreads over the surface of the fill to
increase the contact with the passing air. The movement of air through the fill
allows heat to transfer from the water to the air. This causes some of the water
to evaporate, a process that cools the remaining water. The remaining cooled
water then falls to the tower sump and is returned to the condenser.
Figure 32
43. The third component of the heat-rejection loop moves the condensing media
(water in this example) around the loop. In the case of a water cooled
condenser, a pump is needed to move the water through the tubes of
the condenser, the piping, the cooling tower, and any other accessories
installed in the heat-rejection loop.
The heat-rejection capacity of this loop can be varied in response to changing
heat-rejection requirements. In the case of a water-cooled condenser, this is
commonly accomplished by varying the temperature of water delivered to the
condenser. Varying the temperature of the entering condenser water may be
accomplished by using variable-speed fans in the cooling tower or by cycling
the fans on and off.
Figure 33
44. One method of varying the quantity of water flowing through the water-cooled
condenser is to use a modulating control valve. As the heat-rejection
requirement decreases, the modulating control valve directs less water through
the condenser.
A second example (Figure 35) of the heat-rejection loop is a packaged, air cooled
chiller. It combines all the components of the refrigeration and heat rejection
loops.
When CFCs are released into the atmosphere as a result of leakage from refrigeration
systems, the production of expanded foam, venting to the atmosphere during maintenance
of refrigeration compressors, the use of aerosols, chemical cleaning or the destruction of
refrigerators, they find their way to the upper atmosphere, where they are broken down by
the action of ultraviolet solar radiation and chlorine is released. This degradation will
continue for many years. Atmospheric ozone is destroyed by the chlorine, and it is reported
that the resulting increase in the levels of ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth’s surface
will cause ecological damage as well as an increase in skin cancer.
