1 Objectives Finish analysis of most common HVAC Systems
Learn about the psychrometric related to the cooling towers

2 Evaporative Cooler 2

3 Air Washer Sprays liquid water into air stream
Typically, air leaves system at lower temperature and higher humidity than it enters

4 Schematic

5 Air Washers/Evaporative Coolers
Heat and mass transfer is mutually compensating Can evaluate based on temperature drop, humidification, or comparison to other energy exchangers

6 Single-Zone Systems with air washer – mister – or adiabatic humidifier
Winter operation 6

7 Air-to-air heat exchanger

8 Multizone Systems 8

11 Summary of HVAC Systems
Show HVAC processes on a psychrometric chart Draw condition lines Define sensible heat ratio Draw HVAC processes for real buildings Single zone Multiple zone

12 Cooling towes Similarity and difference between
Evaporative coolers and Cooing towers

13 Cooling Tower Similar to an evaporative cooler, but the purpose is often to cool water Widely used for heat rejection in HVAC systems Also used to reject industrial process heat

15 Cooling Tower

16

17 Solution Can get from Stevens diagram (page 272)
Can also be used to determine Minimum water temperature Volume of tower required

18 Real World Concerns We need to know mass transfer coefficients
They are not typically known for a specific direct-contact device Vary widely depending on packing material, tower design, mass flow rates of water and air, etc. In reality, experiments are typically done for a particular application

19 Summary Heat rejection is often accomplished with devices that have direct contact between air and water Evaporative cooling Can construct analysis of these devices Requires parameters which need to be measured for a specific system

20 Reading assignments related to the HVAC systems Chapters 7 & 8 and Handout Section on the course website
