In the case of direct expansion equipment, the air passing over the
indoor cooling coil heats the cold liquid refrigerant. Heating the
refrigerant causes boiling and transforms the refrigerant from a cold
liquid to a warm gas. This warm gas (or vapor) is pumped from the
cooling coil to the compressor through a copper tube (suction line to
the compressor) where the warm gas is compressed. In some cases, an
accumulator is placed between the cooling coil and the compressor to
capture unused liquid refrigerant and ensures that only vapor enters
the compressor. The compression process increases the pressure of the
refrigerant vapor and significantly increases the temperature of the
vapor. The compressor pumps the vapor through another heat
exchanger (outdoor condenser) where heat is rejected and the hot gas
is condensed to a warm high pressure liquid. This warm high pressure
liquid is pumped through a smaller copper tube (liquid line) to a filter
(or filter/dryer) and then on to an expansion device where the high
pressure liquid is reduced to a cold, low pressure liquid. The cold liquid
enters the indoor cooling coil and the process repeats.
As this liquid passes through the indoor cooling coil on the inside of the
heat exchanger, two things happen to the air that passes over the coil’s
surface on the outside of the heat exchanger. The air’s temperature is
lowered (sensible cooling) and moisture in the air is removed (latent
cooling) if the indoor air dew point is higher than the temperature of
the coil’s surface. The total cooling (capacity) of an AC system is the
sum of the sensible and latent cooling. Many factors influence the
cooling capacity of a DX air conditioner. Total cooling is inversely
proportional to outdoor temperature. As the outdoor temperature
increases the total capacity is reduced. Air flow over the indoor cooling
10

coil also affects the coil’s capacity and is directly proportional to the
total capacity of an AC system. As air flow increases, the total capacity
also increases. At higher air flow rates the latent capacity of the cooling
coil is reduced. Indoor temperature and humidity also affect the total
capacity of the AC system. As indoor temperatures increase, the
sensible capacity also increases. Similarly, as indoor relative humidity
increases the latent capacity of the AC system increases. Manufacturers
of AC equipment typically provide a “performance map” of specific
equipment to show how total, sensible, and latent capacity change with
changing indoor and outdoor temperatures and humidity. Power
consumption and energy efficiency are also provided in these charts.

What is HAP?
Carrier’s Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) is a computer tool which
assists engineers in designing HVAC systems for commercial
buildings. HAP is two tools in one. First it is a tool for estimating
loads and designing systems. Second, it is a tool for simulating
building energy use and calculating energy costs. In this capacity
it is useful for LEED®, schematic design and detailed design
energy cost evaluations. HAP uses the ASHRAE transfer function
method for load calculations and detailed 8,760 hour-by-hour
simulation techniques for the energy analysis.This program is
released as two separate, but similar products. The “HAP System
Design Load”program provides system design and load
estimating features. The full “HAP” program provides the same
system design capabilities plus energy analysis features. This
Quick Reference Guide deals with both programs.

Abstract

37
Graduation Project
2019
In the DX system the air used for cooling the room or space is directly
passed over the cooling coil of the refrigeration plant. In the direct
expansion or DX types of air central conditioning plants the air used for
cooling space is directly chilled by the refrigerant in the cooling coil of
the air handling unit.
Since the air is cooled directly by the refrigerant the cooling efficiency
of the DX plants is higher. However, it is not always feasible to carry the
refrigerant piping to the large distances hence, direct expansion or the
DX type of central air conditioning system is usually used for cooling the
small buildings or the rooms on the single floor.

4- Cassette
It works the same way as wall-hung split system units, with the
difference being that cassettes are installed into the ceiling instead of on
the wall. The indoor unit itself sits flush to your ceiling and distributes
conditioned air through two, three or four sides of the unit. The inside
unit has a small pump which pushes the water into the nearest drain, the
inside unit is similar as square diffuser. The air throw of this type
reaches into 3m.
They’re most commonly installed in commercial or office areas, they
tend to be more powerful than wall-mounted systems. Cassette units
tend to be more expensive than other systems.

VRF systems are similar to the multi-split systems which connect one
outdoor section to several evaporators. However, multi-split systems
turn OFF or ON completely in response to one master controller,
whereas VRF systems continually adjust the flow of refrigerant to each
indoor evaporator. The control is achieved by continually varying the
flow of refrigerant through a pulse modulating valve (PMV) whose
opening is determined by the microprocessor receiving information from
the thermistor sensors in each indoor unit. The indoor units are linked by
a control wire to the outdoor unit which responds to the demand from
the indoor units by varying its compressor speed to match the total
cooling and/or heating requirements.
VRF systems promise a more energy-efficient strategy (estimates range
from 11% to 17% less energy compared to conventional units) at a
somewhat higher cost.

Central Split
It consists of two units: The first, the indoor unit is similar as ceiling
concealed ducted which installed in ceiling, the second, the outdoor unit.
Central air conditioners circulate cool air through a system of supply
and return ducts. Supply ducts and registers (i.e., openings in the walls,
floors, or ceilings covered by grills) carry cooled air from the air
conditioner to the home. This cooled air becomes warmer as it circulates
through the home; then it flows back to the central air conditioner
through return ducts and registers.
A central air conditioner is either a split-system unit. In a split-system
central air conditioner, an outdoor metal cabinet contains the condenser
and compressor, and an indoor cabinet contains the evaporator.
50
Graduation Project
2019
Central air conditioners are more efficient than room air conditioners. In
addition, they are out of the way, quiet, and convenient to operate. Large
cooling capacity up to 50 ton
To save energy and money, you should try to buy an energy-efficient air
conditioner and reduce your central air conditioner's energy use. In an
average air-conditioned home, air conditioning consumes more than
2,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. Central air conditioning is
used for cooling big buildings, houses, offices, entire hotels, gyms,
movie theaters, factories.
Package Unit
Packaged units are different from these setups in one main way: all of
the heating and cooling components are housed within one single unit,
rather than being split up. Typically these units are installed outside of
the home, either on the ground or the roof.
These units function in the same way that central air system do, except
that the single unit is connected to both the supply and return air ducts
(in central air systems, the ducts are attached to various components in
your home). The input air is processed through the compressor and coils
to cool it, and is then pushed through the duct system. The packaged air
conditioners are used for the cooling capacities between5 to 10 ton.
Since packaged units are installed outside the home, they are a great
option for those needing heating and cooling without sacrificing indoor
space.

Window air conditioners are priced lower than other types of air
conditioners making it an affordable option. It is now rarely installed in
commercial buildings as the installation of the unit requires an exterior
wall or window right behind the unit. A window air conditioner is that it
uses lesser amount of Freon gas.
Modern units have more features like ventilation and energy efficiency.
Moreover a window air conditioner can last longer and does not require
much maintenance as they seldom breakdown. They are also compact in
size since all the components are packed in a single unit unlike a split
unit that has an indoor as well as an outdoor unit. If the room is large
then a window air conditioner will not capable of cooling the entire
space evenly.

doing the maintenance servicing while Central Split Unit or DX unit has
two (2) components; one above or inside the ceiling and the other
outside also which will require the area. Definitely Central Package unit
is easy to maintain than the central split. Capacity of package up to 50

The compressor, coils, and air handler are all housed in a single-box
cabinet. The packaged air conditioner can also provide some warmth by
using an electrical heating strip. A packaged heat pump uses heat pump

Air Handling Unit
(AHU)
Air handling units, which usually have the acronym of (A.H.U) are
found in medium to large commercial and industrial buildings.
They are usually located in the basement, on the roof or on the floors of
a building. AHU’s will serve a specified area or zone within a building
such as the east side, or floors 1 – 10 or perhaps a single purpose such as
just the buildings toilets. Therefore, it’s very common to find multiple
AHU’s around a building.
Some buildings, particularly old high rise building, will have just one
large AHU, usually located on the roof. These will supply the entire
building. They might not have a return duct, some older designs rely on
the air just leaking out of the building. This design isn’t so common
anymore in new buildings because it’s very inefficient, now its most
common to have multiple smaller AHU’s supplying different zones. The
buildings are also more air tight so we need to have a return duct to
regulate the pressure inside the building.
59
Graduation Project
2019
Air handling units’ condition and distribute air within a building. They
take fresh ambient air from outside, clean it, heat it or cool it, maybe
humidify it and then force it through some ductwork around to the
designed areas within a building. Most units will have an additional duct
run to then pull the used dirty air out of the rooms, back to the AHU,
where a fan will discharge it back to atmosphere. Some of this return air
might be recirculated back into the fresh air supply to save energy.

Air Cooled
Chiller
Air cooled chillers are very common, especially in small to medium size
commercial and office type buildings. They are usually located
externally, either up on the roof or at ground level. This is because Air
Cooled Chillers do not use cooling towers, instead they dump their heat
into the ambient air and therefore need access to a lot of fresh air, in
order to reject the unwanted heat from the building. Air cooled chillers
consume around 10% more power than a water-cooled unit; wet surfaces
are better at transferring heat than dry surfaces.

2- Water
Cooled Chiller
64
Graduation Project
2019
The chilled water branches off the risers into smaller diameter pipes
which head to the fan coil units (FCU’s) and Air Handling Units
(AHU’s) to provide air conditioning. The AHU’s and FCU’s are
basically boxes with fans inside that suck air in from the building and
push it across the heating or cooling coils to change the temperature of
the air and then push this air back out into the building. The chilled
water enters the AHU/FCU and passes through the cooling coil (a series
of thin pipes) where it will absorb the heat of the air blowing across. The
chilled water heats up and the air blowing across it cools down. When
the chilled water leaves the cooling coil it will now be warmer at around
12°C (53.6°F). The warm chilled water then heads back to the
evaporator, via the return riser, and once it enter the evaporator a
refrigerant will absorb the unwanted heat and move this over to the
65
Graduation Project
2019
condenser. The chilled water will then leave cool again, ready to
circulate around the building and collect more unwanted heat.
Condenser water
The condenser of the chiller is where the unwanted heat is collected
before being sent to the cooling towers. A refrigerant passes between the
evaporator and the condenser to move all the unwanted heat. Another
loop of water, known as “condenser water”, passes in a loop between the
condenser and the cooling tower. The refrigerant collects the heat from
the “chilled water” loop in the evaporator and moves this to the
“condenser water” loop in the condenser.
The condenser water enters the condenser at around 27°C (80.6°F) and
will pass through, collecting heat along the way. By the time it leaves
the condenser it will be around 32°C (89.6°F). The condenser water and
the refrigerant never mix, they are always separated by the pipe wall,
heat just transfers through the wall. Once the condenser water has passed
through the condenser and picked up the unwanted heat, it will head up
to the cooling towers to dump this heat and return cooler ready to collect
more heat.
Benefits
66
Graduation Project
2019
Drawbacks
Cooling Tower
The cooling tower is usually located up on the roof and is the final
destination for the unwanted heat in the building. The cooling tower
contains a large fan which blows air through the unit. The condenser
water is pumped up to the cooling towers and it is sprayed into the air
stream. The cool ambient air will enter and come in direct contact with
the spray of condenser water (in an open cooling tower) this will allow
the heat of the condenser water to transfer into the air and this air is then
blown out into the atmosphere. The condenser water then collects and
heads back to the chillers condenser ready to collect more heat. Also,
cooling towers can be used to provide comfort cooling for large
commercial buildings like airports, schools, hospitals, or hotels.

System selection:
• After the calculations of the cooling Loads we find that:
1- Cooling load for the entire building is 1069.5 KW = 315.3 TR.
Required supply air flow rate is
245,587.8 m3/h = 144,546 CFM.
Dividing these loads into three basic sections:
A- Cooling load of first floor (west side) is 357.2 KW = 112.9 TR.
With supply air flow rate equal to 82,173 m3/h = 48,365 cfm.
B- Cooling load of Cafeteria, Gym, Library and its related offices is
303.5 KW = 86.3 TR.
With supply air flow rate equal to
70,084.8 m3/h = 41,250 cfm.
C- Cooling load of the second floor is 408.8 KW = 116.1 TR.
With supply air flow rate equal to
93,330 m3/h = 54,931 cfm.
• After these calculation we decided to choose the type of HVAC system
form two types of system
• First system is chilled water system and the second one is DX system.

That’s because when the system relies on single large unit, the
reliability is low
Because if there is any failure occurs to any part of the unit, this will
stop the whole system until we make the required maintenance to the
failed part.
79
Graduation Project
2019
when we divide the load on three sections and use an individual unit
for each section, this will decrease the size of the required unit and also
will increase the reliability of the system.
Because when any failure occurs to any part of one the units, this will
only stop one unit and the system will still work on the other two units
and the standby unit until we make the required maintenance for the
failed unit and also the cost of fixing or replacing the failed part of the
small unit will be lower than the cost used for the large one.
And also we use only a medium unit (120 TR) as a standby instead of
using a large chiller (300 TR) which will decrease the initial cost.
2- Control:
The second reason for dividing the system to three sections is to
increase the ability of system control.
When each section relies on an individual unit, this will make each
section works as independent system which will works independently
of the other systems.
This will help to control each system alone and will help to control the
properties of the supplied air to each system individually.
And also will help to switching on/off and maintenance of each system
independently.
3- Efficiency:
The third reason for dividing the system to three sections is to increase
the efficiency of system.
How…….?
80
Graduation Project
2019
This will make the system work on part load almost the time.
So if we choose to put the entire load on a single large unit, it will not
be efficient and will increase the energy consumption which in turn will
increase the operating cost.
But when divide the load on three units, this will make the system more
efficient when it works on part load as we can use each unit
independently, so this will increase the efficiency of the system and
reduce the energy consumption and operating cost and also increase
the life time of the units and make the system more economical.

6- Duct design:
82
Graduation Project
2019
DUCT SYSTEM
A duct system is an assembly whose primary function is to convey air
between specified points. ASHRAE categorizes duct systems as either
single path or dual path. Systems should be designed using accepted
engineering practice and data such as that in the four ASHRAE Handbooks
and the SMACNA HVAC Duct Systems Design manual.
A duct system may contain ducts under positive and negative pressure. Air
velocities will vary within the system. At coils and filters , the velocity may
vary from below 1000 rpm (5.08m/s) to over 3000 rpm (15.24 m/s). Velocity
in duct mains and branches can be at constant (high or low) or varying
levels. With the many available systems sizing methods (e.g., equal friction,
static regain, velocity reduction, total pressure) and system types,
performance cannot be economically optimized unless the designer selects
construction details appropriate for the given pressure and velocity.
6. Seismic restraint.
7. Thermal conductivity (heat gain or loss and condensation
control).
-Each of these four types of duct may also subdivide into headers,
main ducts, and branch ducts or run outs.
Main ducts have comparatively greater flow rates and size, serve a
greater conditioned area, and, therefore, allow higher air velocities.
MATERIAL
-When a designer chooses the shape (round, rectangular, or flat oval
duct) or material (galvanized sheet, aluminum, fiberglass, or other
84
Graduation Project
2019
-Round ducts are often used for more demanding projects .In
projects designed for lower cost, adequate duct insulation, and sound
attenuation, fiberglass ducts may sometimes be the optimum
selection
FIRE PROTACTION
The design of air duct systems must meet the requirements of
National Fire Codes NFPA 90A,Standards for the Installation of Air
Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, Warm Air Heating and Air
Conditioning Systems, and Blower and Exhaust Systems as well as
local codes. Refer to these standards for details.
85

less than 2 in (50 mm) thick need not meet the class 0 or class 1
requirement.
86
Graduation Project
2019
RECTANGULAR DUCT
For the space available between the structural beam and the ceiling
in a building, rectangular ducts have the greatest cross-sectional
area. They are less rigid than round ducts and are more easily
fabricated on-site. The joints of rectangular ducts have a
comparatively greater percentage of air leakage than factory-
fabricated spiral-seamed round ducts and flat oval ducts, as well as
fiberglass
ducts. Unsealed rectangular ducts may have an air leakage from 15
to 20 percent of the supply volume flow rate. Rectangular ducts are
usually used in low-pressure systems.
The ratio of the long side a to the short side b in a rectangular duct is
called the aspect ratio Ras.
The greater Ras, the higher the pressure loss per unit length as well
as the heat loss and heat gain per unit volume flow rate transported.

FLEXIBLE DUCT
Flexible ducts are often used to connect the main duct or the diffusers
to the terminal box. Theirflexibility and ease of removal allow
allocation and relocation of the terminal devices. Flexible ducts are
usually made of multiple-ply polyester film reinforced by a helical
steel wire core or corrugated aluminum spiral strips. The duct is often
insulated by a fiberglass blanket 1 or 2 in.
FIBERGLASS DUCT
DUCT INSULATION
Duct insulation is mounted or inner-lined to reduce heat loss and heat gain
as well as to prevent the condensation on the outer surface of the duct. It is
usually in the form of duct wrap (outer surface), duct inner liner, or
fiberglass duct boards. Duct liner provides both thermal insulation and
sound
attenuation. The thickness of an insulation layer is based on economical
analysis.
89
Graduation Project
2019
After the duct sections have been sized, the total pressure loss of the
air duct system can then be calculated, and the supply, return or relief
fan total pressure can be calculated from the total pressure losses of
the supply and return duct systems and the pressure loss in the air-
handling unit or packaged unit.
-This method sizes the air duct so that the duct friction loss per unit
length pf.uat various duct sections always remains constant. The final
dimensions of sized ducts should be rounded to standard size.
-The total pressure loss of the duct system pt,in in. WC (Pa), equals
the sum of the frictional
losses and dynamic losses at various duct sections along the critical
path:
This method first determines the minimum air velocity at various duct
sectionsthe constant-velocity method is often used for exhaust
systems that convey dust particles in industrial applications. This
method first determines the minimum air velocity at various duct
sectionsaccording to the requirement to float the particles, either by

friction loss (inches of water per 100 ft& help us to determine power of
fan) and
get Round Duct Size.
3- When get Round duct size enter table to convert from round size to
rectangular
size (Circular equivalent of rectangular Duct).
4- After we know available depth we can use above false ceiling (tiles
or gypsum
board) we enter with that depth and make intersection with round size
then get length of duct ,all rectangular duct dimension should be even

Primary Air
Total Air
Total air is defined as the mixture of primary air and entrained room
air which is under the influence of supply outlet conditions .This is
commonly considered to be the air within an envelope of 50 fpm [0.25
m/s] (or greater) velocity. The temperature difference between the
total air and the room air creates buoyant effects which cause cold
supply air to drop and warm air to rise.

Terminology :
Throw :Is the distance from outlet device to appoint in the air stream cross
section has been reduced to a selected terminal velocity (.25 m/s ).
Diffuser : refers to ceiling mounted air delivery devices which diffuse the supply
air along the ceiling and induce the room air from below .
Register : are similar to diffusers except that they are designed and used for
floor or side wall air supply application .
Grille : are simply decorative covers for return air inlets they are used to block
sightlines so that occupants cannot see directly into return air openings a grille
is different from a register in that it usually doesnot have a volume control
damper .

- Five types of supply outlets are currently used: grilles and registers,
ceiling diffusers ,slot diffusers, light troffer diffusers, and nozzles. A
window sill outlet is actually a type of grille mounted at the top of a
fan coil.
-The term grille is commonly applied to any air outlet or intake that
consists of a square or rectangular face and neck and whose facial
appearance is made up of stationary or adjustable louvers which may
be used to deflect the air.
-Supply grilles and registers usually have adjustable louvers and are
available in single or double deflection models.

Supply grille and register: (a) grille, front view; (b) single-deflection, vertical vanes; (c)
double-deflection register, with vertical and horizontal vanes.
Ceiling Diffusers
-A ceiling diffuser consists of a series of concentric rings or inner
cones made up of vanes arranged in fixed directions and an outer
shell or frame.

-The perforated face blends in very well with the acoustical tiles of
typical suspended ceiling systems, and is therefore preferred by
architects. Perforated return units (both ducted and non-ducted ) are
also available to match the supply units.
