HVAC ASSIGNMENT

1.What is local comfort cooling

system?
Comfort cooling is the same type of cooling
system that can be found in residential
houses and office buildings. It is designed
to cool spaces primarily to create
comfortable temperatures for occupants.

2.What is Centralised Air System?

Central air conditioning (or central A/C) is
a system in which air is cooled at a central
location and distributed to and from rooms
by one or more fans and ductwork. The
compression of the refrigerant gas enables
it to discharge heat out of the house, which
is how the cool air is created.
3. What Is Constant Volume System?
Constant air volume (CAV) is a type of
heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning
(HVAC) system. In a simple CAV system,
the supply air flow rate is constant, but the
supply air temperature is varied to meet the
thermal loads of a space. Most
CAV systems are small, and serve a single
thermal zone.

4. What Is Variable Air Volume System

& Dual Duct System?
Variable Air Volume units vary the airflow
individually between separate hot and cold
inlet ducts for highly accurate temperature
and comfort control.
5. What Is Hydronic System Or Air-
water System?
Hydronic is the use of water as the heat-
transfer medium in heating and cooling
systems. A hydronic piping system is used
to circulate chilled or hot water with the
connections between the piping and the
terminal units made in a series loop.

6.How Vapour Compression Cycle

Works ?
At this stage of the Vapour Compression
Refrigeration Cycle, the refrigerant is at a
lower temperature than its surroundings.
Therefore, it evaporates and absorbs latent
heat of vaporization. Heat extraction from
the refrigerant happens at low pressure
and temperature.
7.What is vapour Compression cycle?
Vapour Compression cycle, in which the
refrigerant undergoes phase changes, is
one of the many refrigeration cycles and is
the most widely used method for air-
conditioning of buildings and automobiles.

8. Why Is A Compressor Used In

Refrigeration?
The compressor then has to raise the
pressure of the refrigerant to a level at
which it can condense by rejecting heat to
the cooling medium in the condenser.

9. What Is Auto Refrigeration?

Auto-refrigeration is a phenomenon
common to liquefied compressed gases.
Liquefied compressed gases exist in both
the liquid and gaseous phases at ambient
temperatures with pressures ranging from
2 psig up to 2,500 psig. That is, there is a
gaseous layer over the liquefied gas within
the pressure vessel. Some common
liquefied gases are shown in the following
table.

10. How Does A Refrigerant

Compressor Work?
The refrigerant absorbs the heat inside the
fridge when it flows through the evaporator
coils, cooling down the air inside the fridge.
Last, the refrigerant evaporates to a gas
due to raised temperature, and then flows
back to the compressor, where the cycle
starts all over again.

11. Why Capacity Of Air Conditioner Is

Measured In Tons?
The use of tons to
measure cooling capacity comes from this
time. A ton refers to the amount of heat it
takes to completely melt a ton of ice.
Melting this amount of ice requires
286,000 Btu (British thermal units).

12. What Is The Meaning Of 1 Ton Of

Ac?
A ton is the cooling capacity of an air
conditioning system. One ton is equal to
the amount of heat required (288,000 Btu)
to melt one ton of ice in a 24-hour period.
A one-ton air conditioner is rated at 12,000
Btu.

14. What Is Btu?

The acronym stands for British Thermal
Unit, which is the unit used to measure
thermal (heat) energy. Specifically, it is the
amount of energy needed to raise 1 pound
of water 1°F at sea level.
15. What Is The Meaning Of Btu In Air Conditioners?
15. What Is The Meaning Of Btu In Air
Conditioners?
which indicates the amount of heat it can
remove from a room. A higher
number means more cooling power for a
larger room. Compare your room size to
the BTU rating: 150 to 350 sq ft look for a
5,000- to 8,000-BTU unit.

16. What Is Cfm & Infiltration?

The infiltration rate is the volumetric flow
rate of outside air into a building, typically
in cubic feet per minute (CFM) or liters per
second (LPS). The air exchange rate, (I), is
the number of interior volume air changes
that occur per hour, and has units of 1/h.

17. What Is The Hvac System?

The initials HVAC stand for Heating,
Ventilation and Air Conditioning. They
describe the functions of an HVAC system. This
mechanical system’s design is primarily an
attempt to take control of the environmental
conditions inside the space you work.

An HVAC engineer's job duties can include
the design, installation, maintenance, and
repair of heating, ventilation, air
conditioning, cooling, and refrigeration
systems. ... These professionals can work
for consulting or design firms, government
agencies, facilities offices,
or HVAC equipment sales offices.

19. What Is Psychometric?

A psychometric chart is a graphical
representation of the psychometric
processes of air. Psychometric processes
include physical and thermodynamic
properties such as dry bulb temperature,
wet bulb temperature, humidity, enthalpy,
and air density.

20. What Are The Types Of Air

Conditioning Systems?

22. What Is The Function Of Ahu?

An Air Handling Unit (AHU) is used to re-
condition and circulate air as part of a
heating, ventilating and air-conditioning
system. The basic function of the AHU is
take in outside air, re-condition it and
supply it as fresh air to a building.

23. How Does The Ahu Work?

An air handler unit (often abbreviated to
AHU), is a device used to regulate and
circulate air as a part of heating, ventilating,
and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. ... Air
handlers usually connect to a ductwork
ventilation system that distributes the
conditioned air through the building and
returns it to the AHU.

24. What Is The Purpose Of Air

Handling Units?

sometimes using ductwork, and is used to
control the temperature in the space where
it is installed, or serve multiple spaces.

of a heating or cooling heat exchanger or
'coil' and fan. It is part of an HVAC system
found in residential, commercial, and
industrial buildings.

28. What Is An Air Conditioner
Condenser?
A condenser unit used in central air
conditioning systems typically has a heat
exchanger section to cool down and
condense incoming refrigerant vapour into
liquid, a compressor to raise the pressure
of the refrigerant and move it along, and a
fan for blowing outside air through the heat
exchanger section to cool the space.

29. how Does A Condenser In A

Refrigerator Work?
condenser, where it condenses from
vapour form to liquid form, giving off heat in
the process.
30. What Is The Main Function Of A
Condenser?
In systems involving heat transfer, a
condenser is a device or unit used to
condense a substance from its gaseous to
its liquid state, by cooling it. In so doing, the
latent heat is given up by the substance
and transferred to the surrounding
environment.

31. How Does A Condensing Unit

Work?

conditioning systems typically has a heat
exchanger section to cool down and

into liquid.
32. What Are The Types Of
Condensers?
The three main types of condensers used
in general refrigeration systems are:
 air-cooled.
 water-cooled.
 evaporative.

33. What Is A Rotary Air Compressor?

A rotary-screw compressor is a type of gas
compressor, such as an air compressor,
that uses a rotary-type positive-
displacement mechanism. The gas
compression process of a rotary screw is a
continuous sweeping motion, so there is
very little pulsation or surging of flow, as
occurs with piston compressors.
34. What Is A Gas Compressor Used
For?
Compression of a gas naturally increases
its temperature. When the gas is air, the
machine is called an air compressor.
Compressors are similar to pumps: both
increase the pressure on a fluid and both
can transport the fluid through a pipe. As
gases are compressible, the compressor
also reduces the volume of a gas.

35. What Is The Use Of Compressor In

Refrigeration?
The compressor does exactly as its name
says it compresses the refrigerant. The
compressor receives low pressure gas
from the evaporator and converts it to high
pressure gas. As mentioned earlier, as the
gas is compressed, the temperature rises.
The hot refrigerant gas then flows to the
condenser.
