  1. Heating and Air Conditioning I Principles of Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning R.H. Howell, H.J. Sauer, and W.J. Coad ASHRAE, 2005 basic textbook/reference material For ME 421 John P. Renie Adjunct Professor – Spring 2009

  2. Chapter 5 – Design Conditions • This chapter covers the fundamental elements that accompany the load calculations for sizing heating and cooling systems. This includes the estimation of the outside air quantities and the evaluation of the overall heat transfer coefficient for building components. • Basic components of heating and cooling loads • Transmission • Solar Radiation • Lights • Power • Infiltration (uncontrolled) • Fresh Air (controlled) • People • Appliances • Material in and out • First four terms include Q • Last five includes Q and mwater

  3. Chapter 5 – Design Conditions • General Considerations • Knowledge of thermal insulation and thermal behavior of materials • Flowing fluids – carry heat and moisture • Heating and cooling include simultaneous transfer of heat and mass • Humidification and dehumidification depends on ventilation and other sources of moisture gain and loss. • Outdoor Air Load Components • Outdoor air flows through building – dilute and remove indoor air contaminants – significant portion of total space load • Natural infiltration in addition to intentional mechanical ventilation • Ventilation (both natural and mechanical) versus infiltration • Air leakage into and out (exfiltration) due to pressure difference • Modern building usually over pressurized • Modern building – not desirable to have open windows • Residence building – reliant on infiltration and natural ventilation

  4. Chapter 5 – Design Conditions • Outdoor Air Load Components • Small exhaust fans – code (condensation?) • ASHRAE Standard 62 – guidance on ventilation and indoor air quality • Ventilation Rate Procedure • Control of six pollutants • Outdoor air supply > minimums (5 cfm per person and 0.06 cfm/ft2) • Indoor Air Quality Procedure • Nine pollutants indoor maintained below standard level • Subjective (0.5 AC/hr) – local codes • Terminolgy • Air handling unit (AHU) – Figure 5-2 • Return air (ra) • Exhaust air (ea) • Recirculated air (ca) • Outside air (oa) – not “fresh” – outside air fraction Xoa or percent • Mixed air (ma) • Supply air (sa) • Bypass air (ba)

  5. Chapter 5 – Design Conditions

  6. Chapter 5 – Design Conditions • Outdoor Air Load Components. • Terminolgy • Makeup air unit (MAU) – all air is outside • Outside air • Large part of the total space conditioning (heating, cooling, humidification, and dehumidification) – 20 to 40% • Sensible heating – qs = Q r cpDt • Latent heating – qL = Q r hfgDW • Dehumidification in summer • Humidification in winter • Infiltration • Air leakage through cracks and interstices around windows and doors, and through the floors and walls – depends on construction, building condition • Pressure difference between indoor and outdoor – caused by wind or differences in density – chimney or stack effect – also differences in temperature

  7. Chapter 5 – Design Conditions • Outdoor Air Load Components. • Estimation of the air infiltration • Crack method – measured leakage characteristics of the building components • Air change method (simplicity) • Assumption of the number of air changes per hour (ACH) that a space experiences • Q = ACH x VOL/60 where VOL is gross volume of space • Table 5-1 – Change Rates as Function of Airtightness • Outdoor design temperature • Tight/Medium/Loose • Figure 5-3 Building Pressure due to Wind Effects • Impossible to accurately predict infiltration from theory alone because of the many unknowns. However, semi-empirical expressions can be used to estimate infiltration rate. • Leakage function – infiltration cause by pressure difference • Q = CD A (2 Dp/r)n • Where CD is discharge coefficient (geometry and Reynolds number) • Dp = Dps + Dpw + Dpp (stack, wind, building pressurization)

  9. Chapter 5 – Design Conditions • Outdoor Air Load Components

  10. Chapter 5 – Design Conditions • Outdoor Air Load Components. • Estimation of the air infiltration • Stack effect – occurs when air densities are different on the inside and outside of the building – density decreases with increasing temperature • Winter – lower outside temperature at higher pressure than inside • Summer – cooler air inside – air infiltrates at top and flows downward • Neutral axis • Dps = 0.52 pb h [(1/To) – (1/Ti)] where pb is barometric pressure • Wind velocity effect (velocity pressure) • Dpw = 0.5 Cpr Vw2 • Figure 5-5 gives average pressure coefficients for tall buildings • Building pressurization – depends on design and operation of the HVAC system. • Positive pressurization causes less infiltration from stack and wind effects • Looking at crack coefficient equation - Q = K A (Dp)n • With A is wall area and K is leakage coefficient • Table 5-2 Curtain Wall Leakage Coefficients – Figure 5-6 • Tight (K = 0.22), Average (K = 0.66), and Loose (K = 1.30)
