Objective • Revie the Cooling Cycle • Learn about air distribution systems • Define Building Zones • Solve part of HW3
Zones In building • How to define the zone in building • Based on cooling/heating load requirement • Based on ventilation requirement • Based on use of buildings – different apartments deferent zones
Air Handling Units (AHU) Control of air Systems • Provide conditioned air • Heating, cooling, humidification, dehumidification • Ventilation • Provide fresh air, remove contaminated air
Roof top AHU fresh air filter mixing Fan air from building to building Evaporator Gas/Electric Heater Air Handling Unit (AHU) AHU AHU schematic Exhaust From room Return fan flow control dampers Supply fan Compressorand Condenser Fresh air To room Outdoor air hotwater coolwater
Air Handling Units (AHS) Equipment For AHU: • Fans • Cooling and heating coils • Combustion heat exchangers • Filtration • Dampers, controls, mixing valves • Humidification: steam/spray • Dehumidification: cooling coil/desiccant • Noise control
Control of air Systems • Vary temperature, constant flow • Constant temperature, vary flow • Vary temperature, vary flow
Constant Temperature, Variable Volume • On-off systems • Residential and small commercial • Vary volume by turning system on and off
Constant Air Volume • Single zone constant air volume • Fan always runs • Vary temperature of air in response to space thermostat • Single zone constant air volume with reheat • Often used for precise humidity control • Multizone constant air volume with reheat • Good humidity control, flexible • Not very efficient
55°F 62°F 55°F Require less cooling Multizone constant air volume with reheat
Variable Air Volume • Single zone VAV • Varies air flow based on room thermostat • Multizone VAV • Central chilled air supply • Zone thermostats control flow to each zone • Can also use reheat • Still need to provide adequate air flow for ventilation and for comfort • Smaller energy penalty than CAV
55°F 55°F 55°F Vary the flow Multizone VAV
