Air Conditioning Systems 63: Evaporators (Heat Picked Up From The Conditioned Space)

This document discusses air conditioning system components and calculations for heat removal by a cooling tower. It describes a water-to-air cooling system that uses a water-cooled condenser and cooling tower for heat rejection, and an evaporator coil in air handling units or fan-coil units for heat pickup. It also shows calculations to determine the flow rate of water through the cooling tower required to remove a given amount of heat, taking into account the tower's temperature range and a heat rejection factor. Finally, it lists common types of evaporators, condensers, and compressors used in vapor-compression air conditioning systems.

Air Conditioning Systems 63

A water-to-air cooling system (Figure 4-6) has a water-cooled


condenser and cooling tower on the heat rejection side. On the
heat pickup side there is an evaporator (refrigerant DX) coil in the
air handling units (AHU) or fan-coil units (FCU).

PROBLEM

Calculate heat removed by the cooling tower in Figure 4-7.


Btuh = gpm × 500 × TD
gpm = Btuh ÷ (500 × TD)
gpm = 192,810* ÷ (500 × 10)
(TD = 95°F – 85°F)(This TD is the tower range, TR)
gpm = 38.6
*Includes heat of compression from the compressor
HRF (Heat Rejection Factor) = 1.25
(1.25 × 154,248 Btuh coil load = 192,810 Btuh tower load)
