  1. 12a Cooling Systems; Refrigerants; Condenser/Evaporator Compressive; Absorption; Evaporative; Chillers; Heat Sinks Chapter 4 (Toa) Cooling Systems HVAC 11a CNST 305 Environmental Systems 1 Dr. Berryman

  2. Air Conditioning • Definition • Process of treating air in an internal environment to establish and maintain required standard of temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and motion.

  3. Heat Transport Systems • Air • Water • Steam A/C Systems can use one…or a combination of transports

  4. Components - A/C System • Minimum Components

  5. Cooling Equipment • Common refrigeration systems Used for different applications and climates

  6. Compression Cycle • Fundamentals • Refrigerant characteristic • Boiling Point • Condensing Point • Saturation Point All three have the same numerical value

  7. Refrigerants • Refrigerant: R-123, R-22, R12 • Water: R-718 • Carbon Dioxide: R-744 • Ammonia: R-717

  8. 212°F [100°C] temperature pressure 14.7 psia [0.10MPa] Boiling Point of Water

  9. R-22 boils at -41.4°F [-40.8°C] Refrigerant R-22

  10. 121.5°F [49.7°C] temperature 41.2°F [5.1°C] 85 psia [0.59 MPa] 280 psia [1.93 MPa] pressure Boiling Point of R-22

  11. Effects of Pressure • Increase in pressure on a refrigerant • Results • Increased boiling, condensing, and saturation points • Decrease in pressure on a refrigerant • Increased boiling, condensing, and saturation points

  12. Refrigeration Cycle airflow liquid refrigerant(R-22) collects refrigerant vapor -41.4°F [-40.8°C]

  13. Refrigeration Cycle ? Closing the Cycle

  14. expansion device evaporator condenser compressor Refrigeration Cycle

  15. Evaporator A mixture of liquid and vapor refrigerant B refrigerant vapor air

  16. Compressor B C low-pressure refrigerant vapor from evaporator high-pressure refrigerant vapor to condenser

  17. Condenser C refrigerant vapor D liquid refrigerant outdoor air

  18. Expansion Device A mixture of liquid and vapor refrigerant D liquid refrigerant

  19. Basic Refrigeration System C discharge line condenser liquid line B compressor Direct expansion device (DX) A suction line D evaporator

  20. DX Packaged Unit

  21. SEER vs HSPF • SEER • Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio • Index of MPG for a/c • Number of BTU’s removed by 1 watt of electricity • Rating range from 8 – 14 SEER • Water cooled condensers can achieve higher (system w/ water tower) • HSPF for heat pumps • Heating Seasonal Performance Factor • BTU per watt

  22. Split System Cooling

  23. Heat Pump Reversible Refrigeration System

  24. COP • Coefficient of Performance (1-5) • Commercial Heating efficiency index • COP of 1 = 3,400 BTU/Kw • Strip heaters, toasters, water heaters, etc. • COP 2 • 3,400 BH electrical - 3,400 OA environment • TOTAL 6,800 BH • COP 3 • 3,400 BH electrical – 6,800 OA environment • TOTAL 10,200 BH • HSPF -Heating Seasonal Performance Factor • BTU per watt – Heating index for Residential • COP 2 = HSPF 6.8

  25. Air Source Heat Pump COP Heat Pump COP changes w/ source temperature

  26. Large A/C Equipment Air Handler Chiller Cooling Tower

  27. Air Handler Fan/Coil Unit

  28. Chiller - Compression • Reciprocating • Cylinder displacement • Scroll • Scroll displacement • Rotary Helical • Screw - type • Centrifugal • impellers Cut Away – Rotary Helical Chiller

  29. Water Towers • Central Plant • 500 – 30,000 GPM

  30. Chillers - Absorption condenser generator evaporator absorber

  31. Refrigerant • Distilled water • Stable • Nontoxic • Low cost • Readily available • Environmentally friendly • High latent heat of vaporization

  32. Boiling Point of Water 115°F [46.1°C] temperature 45°F [7.2°C] 1.5 psia [10.34 kPa] 0.15 psia [1.034 kPa] pressure

  33. Absorbent • Lithium Bromide (LiBr) • High affinity for water (refrigerant) • In solution, higher boiling point than water • Nontoxic

  34. Absorption Cycle Cooling Tower steam or hot water Boiler condenser High Pressure cooling water generator evaporator Air Handler chilled water Low Pressure heat exchanger absorber Cooling Tower
