2.0 Psychrometry Application

The document discusses several examples of psychrometric applications involving cooling and dehumidification processes. It provides details on moist air conditions entering and leaving cooling coils, including determining outlet states, cooling capacities, dew point temperatures, and by-pass factors. It also discusses an example involving adiabatic humidification and mixing of air streams. The final section presents a quiz problem asking to determine the coil dew point temperature and plant capacity given indoor/outdoor conditions and system parameters.

Psychrometry Application

Cooling and Dehumidification


• In a cooling application, moist air enters a refrigeration coil at the rate
of 100 kg of dry air per minute at 35° C and 50% RH. The apparatus
dew point of coil is 5° C and by-pass factor is 0.15. Determine the
outlet state of moist air and cooling capacity of coil in kW.

23° c
• 39.6 m3/min of a mixture of recirculated room air and outdoor air
enters a cooling coil at 31°C dry bulb temperature and 18.5°C wet
bulb temperature. The effective surface temperature of the coil is
4.4°C. The surface area of the coil is such as would give 12.5 kW of
refrigeration with the given entering air state. Determine the dry and
wet bulb temperatures of the air leaving the coil and the by-pass
factor.513
• The atmospheric air at 30° C dry bulb temperature and 75% relative
humidity enters a cooling coil at the rate of 200 m3/min. The coil dew
point temperature is 14°C, and the by-pass factor of the coil is 0.1.
Determine : 516

• 1. the temperature of air leaving the cooling coil;


• 2. the capacity of the cooling coil in kilowatt;
• 3. the amount of water vapour removed per minute; and
• 4. the sensible heat factor for the process.
• Moist air enters a refrigeration coil at 35° C dry bulb temperature 55
percent relative humidity at the rate of 100 m3/min. The barometric
pressure is 1.013. The air leaves at 27° C. Calculate the tonnes of
refrigeration required and the final relative humidity.
• If the surface temperature of the cooling coil is 10° C and 'by-pass
factor 0.1, calculate tonnes of refrigeration required and the
condensate flow.
Cooling with Adiabatic Humidification
• 200 m3 of air per min is passed through the adiabatic humidifier. The
condition of air at inlet is 40° C dry bulb temperature and 15% relative
humidity and the outlet condition is 25° C dry bulb temperature and
20° C wet bulb temperature. Find the dew point temperature and the
amount of water vapour added to the air per minute.
Adiabatic Mixing of Two Air Streams - 539

• The saturated air leaving the cooling section of an air conditioning system at 14°C at the rate of
50 m3/min is mixed adiabatically with the outside air at 32°C and 60% relative humidity at a rate
of 20 m3/min. Assuming that the mixing process occurs at a pressure of 1 atmosphere,
determine the specific humidity, relative humidity, dry bulb temperature and the volume flow
rate of the mixture.
• A hall is to be maintained at 24°C dry bulb temperature and 60%
relative humidity under the following conditions: 638

• Outdoor conditions 38°C DBT and 28°C WBT


• Sensible heat load in the room 46.4 Kw
• Latent heat load in the room 11.6kW
• Total infiltration air 1200 m3/h
• Apparatus dew point temperature 10°c
• Quantity of recirculated air from the hall 60%
• If the quantity of recirculated air is mixed with the conditioned air
after the cooling coil, find the following :
• (a) The condition of air leaving the conditioner coil and before mixing
with the recirculated air;
• (b) The condition of air before entering the hall;
• (c) The mass of air entering the cooler;
• (d) The mass of total air passing through the hall;
• ( e) The by-pass factor of the cooling coil ; and
• ( f) The refrigeration load on the cooling coil in kW of refrigeration.
Condition of air leaving the conditioner coil and before mixing with the recirculated air
QUIZ
The following data relates to the office air conditioning plant having maximum seating
capacity of 25 occupants:

• Outside design conditions 34°C DBT, 28°C WBT


• Inside design conditions 24°C DBT, 50% RH
• Solar heat gain 9120 w
• Latent heat gain per occupant 105W
• Sensible heat gain per occupant 90W
• Lightening load 2300 w
• Sensible heat load from other sources11630 w
• Infiltration load 14 m3/min

Assuming 40% fresh air and 60% of recirculated air passing through the evaporator coil and
the by-pass factor of 0.15, find the dew point temperature of the coil and capacity of the
plant.
