  4. What is air conditioning audit for? • Detect the source of degradation of the performance (the system doesn’t stop operating but use more energy and/or is not able to guarantee the comfort) 2) Find profitable improvements in money and energy savings. AuditAC training package

  5. General Structure Session 1: Air conditioning systems Session 2: TheInspection of the air conditioning systems Session 3: Definitions for air conditioning facilities audit and benchmarking Session 4: Energy conservation opportunities for an air conditioning plant AuditAC training package

  6. Session1Air conditioning systems

  7. Air conditioning systems • Air conditioning fundamentals and classification • A simple method for air conditioning recognition • The air conditioning market in Europe: facts and figures AuditAC training package

  8. Basic function and components Expansion valve Heat to outside Cooling to inside Compressor Condenser Evaporator Energy for compression A system based on vapour compression cools a fluid vector (refrigerant, air or water) in order to cool a building or a zone of a building transferring the heat extracted from the inside to the outside, spending work of compression AuditAC training package

  9. Different levels of air conditioning Partial Cooling, which is obtained with air conditioning equipment that provides partial control of the temperature and none of moisture. For instance, the rooms are cooled, but the fresh air is introduced without having been cooled and dried.In such cases also, the installed cooling capacity of the AC system may be insufficient for all circumstances, as a result the internal air cannot be kept at a constant temperature. Total Cooling, wherein the AC system provides full temperature control and includes the provision of the minimum rate of ventilation air changes required for hygienic purposes at an adequate temperature. This type of equipment allows a degree of dehumidification consequent to the cooling effect– it is a very frequent level of comfort today. Total Air Conditioning, which includes full control of temperature and humidity as well as provision of the minimum ventilation rate required for hygienic purposes but is not capable of attaining air purity conditions for specific IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) levels. Advanced Air Conditioning, same as TAC but with a full control of IAQ. These systems are particularly applied in hospitals or clean rooms in the electronic industry. AuditAC training package

  10. Different levels of air conditioning • Air conditioning can also: • Provide heating: reversible systems can supply cooling and heating respectively in winter and summer or for some system type cooling an dheating at the same time to different zones • Provide controlled ventilation: the ventilation is integrated and the system introduce the fresh air and treat it, heat and cool recovering from the extracted air can be possible. A large variety of system and technologies exist with different possibilities AuditAC training package
