Answer 1. Option B and D are correct
Explanation
Because of humility and latent heat of air outside and inside
the cooling area or building the In a 100% re-circulation system,
the load on coil is equal to the load on building and In a system
with outdoor air for ventilation, the load on building is greater
than the
load on coil. Furthermore, In a system with outdoor air for
ventilation, the Coil ADP is less than room ADP.
Answer 2. Option B and D are correct
Explanation
Evaporative cooling
This system is based on the principle that when moist but
unsaturated air comes in contact with a wetted surface whose
temperature is higher than the dew point temperature of air, some
water from the wetted
surface evaporates into air. The latent heat of evaporation is
taken fromwater, air or both of them. In this process, the air
loses sensible heat but gains latent heat due to transfer of water
vapour. Thus the air gets cooled and humidified. The cooled and
humidified air can be used for providing thermal comfort.
This is why it is suitable for
B. Hot and dry climates
B. Several Industry application

A ball valve is a form of quarter-turn valve which uses a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball to control flow through it.
Butterfly valve
A butterfly valve is a valve that isolates or regulates the flow of a fluid. The closing mechanism is a disk that rotates.
Gate valve
A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a barrier out of the path of the fluid.

A single zone, single duct, constant volume system can be used
either for cooling
or for heating, but not for both cooling and heating

The cooling capacity of a single zone, single duct, constant volume system is controlled by controlling the supply air temperature.
Answer 10. D
Dual duct system
dual-duct system. An air-conditioning system in which two supply ducts run to each space being conditioned, one for cold air, the other for warm air; at each individually controlled space, air from the two ducts is blended in a sheet-metal box (called a mixing box) and then supplied to the conditioned space.
Answer 11. All of the above
Properties
(a) Cooling medium is chilled water or brine water and not
direct refrigerant
(b) The cooling medium may be supplied from a source away from the
conditioned
space
(c) The cooling medium may be circulated through the coils of an
air terminal
Answer 12. All of the above
in a dual duct system the supply air fan splits the flow into
two streams. One stream flow through the cooling coil and gets
cooled and dehumidified to about 13o
C, while the other stream flows the heating coil and is heated to
about 35–45oC. The cold and hot streams flow through separate
ducts. Before each conditioned space or zone, the cold and hot air
streams are mixed in required proportions using a mixing box
arrangement, which is controlled by the zone thermostat. The total
volume of air supplied to each zone remains constant, however, the
supply air temperature varies depending upon load.
