 ABSTRACT

NOWADAYS AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT LUXURY BUT NECESSARY. IN COUNTRIES LIKE

INDIA WHERE AVERAGE 60% OF A YEAR IS HOT AND WARM SO IT IS ESSENTIAL TO
PROVIDE COMFORT FOR HUMAN.
IN CHARUSAT STUDENTS AND FACULTIES BOTH REQUIRES COMFORT ZONE IN ALL
SEASON. SO FOR COMFORT AIR CONDITIONING IS REQUIRED BUT AT LEAST COST AND
GOOD QUALITY. THIS CAN BE DONE BY ONE OF THE METHODS IS CENTRAL AIR-
CONDITIONING.
 OBJECTIVE
IN THIS PROJECT WE WILL DESIGN A CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR
MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT BUILDING AS PER COOLING REQUIREMENT WITH
EFFICIENT COOLING BY USING ALL WATER CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM BY
VRF METHOD.

 MISSION PLANNING:
(1) OBTAIN CONDUCTIVITY OF WALL, CEILING AND GLASS MATERIAL FROM
ASHRAE HANDBOOK FOR EXTERNAL LOAD.
(2) OBTAIN HEAT TRANSFER EQUATIONS WITH CORRECTION FACTORS FROM
ASHRAE HANDBOOK FOR EXTERNAL LOAD.
(3) DETERMINE AMOUNT OF HEAT TRANSFER FROM EXTERNAL LOAD.
(4) OBTAIN CONDUCTIVITY OF INTERNAL OBJECT MATERIALS AND RADIATION
HEAT TRANSFER CO-EFFICIENT OF INTERNAL OBJECTS.
(5) DETERMINE HEAT TRANSFER BY HUMAN AND COLLECT DATA FROM ASHRAE
HANDBOOK.
(6) DETERMINE TOTAL HEAT TRANSFER.
 MISSION PLANNING:
(7) NOW START DESIGN OF DUCT STARTING WITH DUCT MATERIAL AND SHAPE.
(8) DETERMINE LOSSES IN DUCT DUE TO BEND, SHAPE MANIPULATION, FRICTION
AND PRESSURE DROP.
(9) CALCULATE FLOW OF COLD WATER FOR DETERMINED RATE.
(10)FIND FINAL DIMENSIONS OF DUCT
(11)CONTROL THE FLOW OF WATER BY REGULATING VALVES.
(12)DESIGN AIR HANDLING UNIT.
(13)DESIGN CENTRAL COOLING/HEATING COIL AND CHILLER.
(14) DESIGN IN MEP SOFTWARE AND ANALYSE IN FEA SOFTWARE.
(15)PREPARE FINAL LAYOUT AND REPORT.
 ADVANTAGES

REQUIREMENT OF EACH ROOM IS FULFILLED EFFECTIVELY.

WORKING FLUID IS WATER SO NO HAZARDOUS AND EASY TO HANDLE AND
ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY.
RUNNING COST OF EQUIPMENT IS VERY LOW.
WORKING UNIT AND COMFORT SPACE ARE FAR AWAY SO NOISELESS OPERATION.
FLEXIBLE SYSTEM OF HEATING AND COOLING.
FILTERING LEVEL IS HIGH COMPARE TO SPLIT A/C.
 DISADVANTAGES:

INITIAL COST IS HIGH.

DUCT REQUIRES PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE.
LARGE SPACE FOR COOLING/HEATING UNIT.
INSTALLATION IS VERY COSTLY.
ANY LEAKAGE IS THERE THEN IT WILL AFFECT WHOLE SYSTEM.
