  1. 100% Outside Air and Dehumidification Management

  2. 100% Outside Air - What is it ? • Referred to as “Make-up Air” • Unit operates continually during occupied mode • Replaces exhausted air • No mixture with return air • Totally changing load • Summer design (High temperature and high humidity) • Winter design (Cold temperature)

  3. Why 100% Outside Air? • Ventilation standards indicating recommended air changes for a variety of space usages and occupancy have been established by ASHRAE. The ventilation requirements for a given structure or space are based either on desired number of air changes or the number of occupants. • The amount of outside air fresh air required for each change per hour equals the amount of inside air that must be removed from the space during the same time span. • CFM= Area of space / Minutes of air changes

  4. Ventilation Requirements (continued) • College classroom 8 air changes 20-30 cfm/person • Hospitals 9-17 air changes 40-50 cfm/person • Kitchens 10-20 air changes 40-50 cfm/person • Schools 8-12 air changes 30-35 cfm/person • Theaters 5-10 air changes 10-15 cfm/person • Factory Buildings 10-15 air changes 25-30 cfm/person

  5. Return Air Ducts Typically will not affect space conditions May not require Reheat Control is not as critical Direct to Space Usually applied to large areas (Auditoriums, Kitchens, Corridors) More precise control is necessary Reheat is required for control Applications of Make-Up Air

  6. 100% Outside Air “Supply Air Properties” • Unit discharge air properties • Main purpose – positively impact building humidity • Lowest dew point possible • Ideally close to room (neutral) conditions • Typically between 68 -72 degrees • Not to overcool or overheat space • Below 70% RH per ASHRAE standards

  7. Dew Point Comparison Reheating to Neutral Air

  8. Air Control • Leaving Air Control • Hot Gas Reheat • Cycling Control • Modulating Control • Room Control • Hot Gas Reheat • Cycling in conjunction with a reheat thermostat • Modulating in conjunction with a reheat sensor

  9. 100 % Outside Air - Room Reheat Control T Reheat Control - room thermostat in series with discharge thermostat (neutral or cold air) T

  10. Single Compressor -- Single Circuit Used when low dew point in required Dehumidifies all the air all of the time Dual Circuits – Single Compress each circuit Used when leaving air conditions are not critical Air will bypass lag circuit and then mix with lead circuit Dual Circuits – Two compressors (Tandem) each circuit) Lag compressor cycles based on suction pressure. Four (4) stage operation Large Tonnage Compressors Usage

  11. Hot Gas Bypass Modulates to match the evaporator load Evaporator freeze protection Suction pressure activated Hot Gas Reheat Raises leaving air temperature to room neutral conditions Cycling with discharge air thermostat Modulating with sensor. Liquid Subcool Coil Raises leaving air temperature Subcools liquid Two (2) degrees of subcool equals one (1) percent increase in evaporator capacity “Refrigeration” Control

  12. Standard Cycling Hot Gas Reheat

  27. Do No Harm Dehumidify to 55 0 Dew Point or less. Reheat to Room Neutral. Temper to Room Neutral Possible humidify when ambient temperatures are below 35 0 Recap

  28. Energy Conservation Wheel Applications • Require exhaust air from the building • Require defrost in most areas • Total Unit EER can exceed 25 on some water source heat pump applications

  29. Dedicated Outdoor Air Load Reduction Example: Loads based on: • 4250 cfm supply and exhaust airflow • 48” Energy Conservation Wheel • 75F/ 50%RH summer exhaust air • 70F / 30%RH winter exhaust • Source: www.novelaire.com (graphic)
