Condensation

water that collects on a cool surface because the temperature of the surface is below the point at which moisture in the air forms as water droplets.

Quantity of condensate depends on

1. Temp of chilled water @ inlet to AHU2. Percentage of RH in fresh air3. Percentage of RH in return air4. Capacity of AHUs5. Volume of chilled flow6. Volume of air flow

In Hyderabad , More RH during monsoons (70 to 85%), in summer 50 to 70% and in winter 25 to 50%.

Approximate Condensate quantity @B7

• Based on our intermittent collection sample reports at individual AHUs , floor AHUs , south wing AHUs and north wing AHUs in the last 3 to 4 months , it is approximately 10 to 12 KL per day ( when 37 AHUs running).

• Assumed 15 to 18KL per day (When 62 AHUs running)

Quality of condensate water @B7

1.Hardness 0 to 2 ppm2. TTDs 30 to 40 ppm3. PH 6 to 74. Clear water

5. Temp 15 to 20 deg.C

For Drinking- Scheme

• Approximate cost : RS 2.50 lacs• Savings/Earnings : 6000 (Ltrs) x 20 (days) x Rs.1.00 (per ltr)x

12(months) = 14.40 lacs /year• Note :Every high purity of raw water , output is 80 to90% .

For domestic purpose- Scheme

• Approximate cost : Rs 20000/-• Savings/earnings: 12,000 (ltrs)x Rs0.30 x 26

days x 12 months= 11,23,200/- year

Condensate water

Multi grade filter

Manual/auto Chlorination

Domestic tank

For CT water- Scheme

• Approximate cost : Rs 15000/-• Savings : No chemicals required , no scale formation , no

bleed off , less power consumption in chillers : Approximately Rs 75 to 80 lacs per year.

Cost estimation

• 1. As per quote by Hiline : Rs 1.5 lacs• 2. As per our estimate and as per standard

design : Rs 75,000/-• 3. As per present available material : Rs

25000/- (May not be as per standard , but it is good and suitable for our requirement)
