Airconditioning Problem
A space to be conditioned as shown has a total load of 29 KW and a sensible heat ratio of 0.80. It is to be
maintained at a condition not to excess 27 C and 52% RH. For proper ventilation 55% of the supply air is
fresh air and the rest are re-circulated air. Outside air is 32 C DB and 22 C WB. The air is supplied at
21 C, Find:
a) m3/min of fresh air supplied
b) the temperature of the spray water in C
c) the tons of refrigeration required by the a-c unit
From Steam Table
Psat at 27 C = 3.567 KPa
Psat at 32 C = 4.759 KPa
Psat at 22 C = 2.645 KPa
