Chapter Six: Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems

Submission due date: 30th March, 2023

1) What do you mean by HVAC systems? What is the scope of air conditioning? Give
examples.
2) What are the key variables plotted on a psychometric chart, and how do these variables
relate to the thermal comfort of building occupants?
3) What are some common applications of psychometric charts in the field of HVAC, such
as calculating heating and cooling loads and selecting air handling equipment?
4) Write short notes on the followings : a) Absolute humidity b) Relative humidity c) Dry
bulb temperature (DBT) d) Wet bulb temperature (WBT) e) Sensible Cooling f) Sensible
Heating g) Cooling and Dehumidification h) Heating and Humidification
5) What are the main types of air conditioning systems used in residential and commercial
settings? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
6) What are some common components of air conditioning systems, such as compressors,
evaporators, and condensers, and how do these components work together to cool and
circulate air?
7) What factors should be considered when choosing an air conditioning system for a given
space, such as room size, climate, occupancy, and intended use?
8) What do you mean by thermal comfort based on ASHRAE standard? Explain the factors
that indicates thermal comfort.
9) What are some common components of air distribution systems? How do these
components affect the flow and distribution of air throughout a building?
10) What do you understand by ventilation? Describe its types and principles.
11) What are some common strategies for incorporating natural ventilation into building
design and operation?
12) What is cross ventilation and how can it be achieved in buildings? Give examples.
13) What is the role of humidity control in HVAC systems? Why is it important to maintain
appropriate levels of moisture in the air?
14) An air-conditioning plant is to be designed for a small office of 50 seating capacity for
winter conditions:
Outdoor conditions 10°C DBT and 8°C WBT
Required indoor conditions 20 °C DBT and 60% RH
Amount of air circulation 0.3m3/min/person
The required condition is achieve first by heating and then by adiabatic humidifying. Find
the following:
a) Heating capacity of the coil in kW
b) The capacity of the humidifier
15) An office is to be air-conditioned for 50 staff when the outdoor conditions are 30°C DBT
and 75% RH. If the quantity of air supplied is 0.4m3/min/person. Find the following:
i) Capacity of the cooling coil in tonnes of refrigeration
ii) Capacity of the heating coil in kW
iii) Amount of water vapour removed per hour
Assume that required air inlet conditions are 20°C DBT and 60% R.H. Air is conditioned first by
cooling and dehumidifying and then by heating.
