No process
In this section, the temperature in this system should not change because no process occurs in this
section. But from our experiment we notice that a slight changes of dry temperature from 25.0 C
to 24.8C and for the wet temperature its change from 22.0C to 24.1C. This occurs maybe because of
the surrounding temperature that effecting the output temperature of the system. Since there is no
factor contributes to change the air property changes in this process, we conclude that all the value
readings recorded at temperature in and out are all in the room temperature.

Sensible heating process

When the 1 kW pre-heater is turn on, we clearly can take the reading temperature at fan inlet
with 26.1°C (dry) and 23.4°C (wet). After steady condition is achieved, the temperature was
raised to 36.5°C (dry) and 25.8°C (wet). The exit temperature has increase by 10.4°C for dry
temperature and 2.4°C for wet temperature. Then the experiment continue with 1.5 kW re-heater and we
notice that the temperature rises about 21.4°C for dry temperature and 8.5°C fot wet temperature.

Steam humidification
After the experiment is conducted, the reading temperature at fan inlet with 26.9°C (dry) and
24.0°C (wet). After steady condition is achieved, the temperature was raised to 36.6°C (dry) and
28.9°C (wet). Based on this experiment, the temperature increase is not consistent because of the
factor that contributes to heating process. The relative humidity value slightly down compare to
relative humidity at fan inlet. This shows that the moisture is decreasing upon the heating process.
The air relative humidity values drop from 79% to 56%.
Cooling and dehumidification process
Based on the experiment, at this section, the compressor of refrigerator system is switched on and
the process called cooling process. By referring to the result, we can determined that the
temperature of air decreasing from 29.1°C (dry) and 25.1°C (wet) to 27.8°C (dry) and 15.5°C (wet)
respectively. The data proved that the cooling process decrease temperature value.
Dehumidification is a psychometric process where the water is removes from the air as the air
temperature falls below the dew point temperature. The air relative humidity decreased from 72%
to 26%. This shows us that moisture percentage in the air drop in dehumidification process. Based
on the result that we have calculated, we notice that the rate of condensation for this system are
9.713 × 10−5 ℓ/s and the amount of heat rate are 6.755 kJ/s.
8.0 Conclusion
As the conclusion, we can understand the air conditioning system. After the experiment was
conducted, the most importance role is heat and moisture in the air-conditioning system. Air
conditioning is the cooling of indoor air for thermal comfort. In a broader sense, the term can refer
to any form of cooling, heating, ventilation, or disinfection that modifies the condition of air. An
air conditioner is an appliance, system, or machine designed to stabilize the air temperature and
humidity within an area (used for cooling as well as heating depending on the air properties at a
given time), typically using a refrigeration cycle but sometimes using evaporation, commonly for
comfort cooling in buildings and motor vehicles.
There are some advantages of air-conditioning system:
 Improved working efficiency, reduce stress and absenteeism
 Increased sales, productivity, comfortless
 Less cleaning materials and furniture last longer
 Suitable environment for plants growth, process, electronic and laboratory areas
 Reduce internal and external pollution
 Less risk of fire or damage due to static electricity caused by dry air
