In an air conditioning system, the inside and outside
conditions of air are 25 °C DBT and 50%
RH, and 40 °C DBT and 27 °C WBT, respectively. The room sensible
heat ratio is 0.8, while
50% of the room air is rejected to atmosphere and replaced with an
equal quantity of fresh air
before entering the air conditioning apparatus. If the fresh air
added is 100 m3
/min and the air
density is 1.2 kg/ m3 with zero air by-passing, determine: a) Room
sensible and latent load, b)
Sensible and latent heat due to the fresh air, c) Apparatus due
point, d) Humidity ratio and dry
bulb temperature of the air entering to the air conditioning
apparatus. Ans. a) 53.96 kW,
14.04 kW; b) 30.67 kW, 39.73 kW; c) 11.8 °C; d) 0.0138 kg/ kg dry
air, 32.5 °C
