Air Conditioning Design
Cooling load calculation for individual areas are required to
determine the peak air conditioning loads and the required supply air
for each area or zone of the building that is being designed.

Air Conditioning Design
Cooling load calculation should be made using data found in the ASHRAE Handbooks and by using format shown in the Design and Calculation topic.
The following information are which will make to generate the cooling load computations.
Orientation and location of the building, Types of operation. General construction of the space or building such as walls, roof, floor,
ceiling, etc. Door / Window types and quantities Machinery used or intended to be used within the space Lighting layouts Occupancy, that is the number of people and their degree of activity
within the given space Code and Standard requirements that deal with the cooling and heating
system for the building or space involved

Basic Concepts Thermal load
– The amount of heat that must be added or removed from the space to maintain the proper temperature in the space
When thermal loads push conditions outsider of the comfort range, HVAC systems are used to bring the thermal conditions back to comfort conditions

Basic Concepts Heat transfer mechanism
– Conduction– Convection– Radiation
Thermal properties of building materials– Overall thermal transmittance (U-value)– Thermal conductivity– Thermal capacity (specific heat)

Cooling Load Principles
Terminology:– Space – a volume w/o a partition, or a partitioned room, or
group of rooms– Room – an enclosed space (a single load)– Zone – a space, or several rooms, or units of space having
some sort of coincident loads or similar operating characteristics
![Page 19: Presentation Cooling Load](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061310/5695d4861a28ab9b02a1bda3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cooling Load Principles
• Cooling load calculations• To determine volume flow rate of air system• To size the coil and HVAC&R equipment• To provide info for energy calculations/analysis
• Two categories:• External loads• Internal loads
![Page 20: Presentation Cooling Load](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061310/5695d4861a28ab9b02a1bda3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Cooling Load Principles
• External loads• Heat gain through exterior walls and roofs• Solar heat gain through fenestrations (windows)• Conductive heat gain through fenestrations• Heat gain through partitions & interior doors• Infiltration of outdoor air
![Page 21: Presentation Cooling Load](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061310/5695d4861a28ab9b02a1bda3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Cooling Load Principles
• Internal loads• People• Electric lights• Equipment and appliances
• Sensible & latent cooling loads• Convert instantaneous heat gain into cooling load• Which components have only sensible loads?
![Page 24: Presentation Cooling Load](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061310/5695d4861a28ab9b02a1bda3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Cooling Load Principles
Instantaneous heat gain vs space cooling loads– They are NOT the same
Effect of heat storage– Night shutdown period
• HVAC is switched off. What happens to the space?
– Cool-down or warm-up period• When HVAC system begins to operate
– Conditioning period• Space air temperature within the limits
![Page 27: Presentation Cooling Load](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061310/5695d4861a28ab9b02a1bda3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Thermal Storage Effect in Cooling Load from Lights
![Page 28: Presentation Cooling Load](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061310/5695d4861a28ab9b02a1bda3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Cooling Load Principles
Load profile– Shows the variation of space load– Such as 24-hr cycle– What factors will affect load profile?– Useful for operation & energy analysis
Peak load and block load– Peak load = max. cooling load– Block load = sum of zone loads at a specific time
![Page 30: Presentation Cooling Load](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061310/5695d4861a28ab9b02a1bda3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Block load and thermal zoning
![Page 31: Presentation Cooling Load](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061310/5695d4861a28ab9b02a1bda3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Cooling Load Principles
Moisture transfer– Two paths:
• Moisture migrates in building envelope• Air leakage (infiltration or exfiltration)
– If slight RH variation is acceptable, then storage effect of moisture can be ignored• Latent heat gain = latent cooling load (instantaneously)
![Page 32: Presentation Cooling Load](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061310/5695d4861a28ab9b02a1bda3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Cooling Load Components
• Cooling coil load consists of:• Space cooling load (sensible & latent)• Supply system heat gain (fan + air duct)• Return system heat gain (plenum + fan + air duct)• Load due to outdoor ventilation rates (or
ventilation load)

Cooling Load Components
• Space cooling load• To determine supply air flow rate & size of air
system, ducts, terminals, diffusers• It is a component of cooling coil load• Infiltration heat gain is an instant. cooling load
• Cooling coil load• To determine the size of cooling coil &
refrigeration system• Ventilation load is a coil load
