AIR CONDITIONING LABORATORY UNIT


MODEL: AC 01

HE Air Conditioning Laboratory Unit (Model: AC 01) has been designed to demonstrate to students the working principle of air conditioning where air temperarture and humidity may be changed. The unit is suitable for those studying in Building Services, Chemical Engineering, Marine Engineering, Mining Engineering, Plant Engineering, etc. With the aid of a optional data acquisition system, students shall be able to collect relevant data automatically and subsequently perform all the necessary calculations.

EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES To study the process of humidification, pre-heating, cooling and de-humidification, and re-heating.

To obtain experimental data for air and refrigerant so that the state points may be plotted on a psychrometric chart for air or a pressure enthalpy chart for refrigerant.

To compare the enthalpy change of the air during the above processes with the heat transfer at the boiler, the heat transfer at the pre-heater, the enthalpy change of the refrigerant, and the heat transfer at the re-heater. To compare the change of the specific humidity of the air during cooling with the condensate formed.

The boiler which supplies the steam for humidification is controlled by a steam generation controller so that the rate of steam production rate may be varied. An electronic level switch is installed in the boiler so that, in conjuction with a solenoid valve, the water level can be maintained.

DESCRIPTION This self-contained unit consists of several components joined by ducting through which the air flows. These components, commonly found in an industrial or commercial air conditioning unit, include a fan, a heater, a cooler, a humidifier, a de-humidifier (may be in conjunction with cooler) and a filter. The ducting and the components are supported on a steel frame with lockable castors. The unit comes with a pressure boiler (for humidification) and refrigeration plant (for cooling and de-humidification) which are housed in the lower part of the frame. The ducting through which the air flows has a crosssectional area of about 0.9 m2. Air from the atmosphere enters a variable speed centrifugal fan before going into the ducting. While the air is entering the fan, steam can be injected to increase the moisture contents so that a homogenous mixture of air and steam flows into the duct. Upon leaving the fan the air passes over two 1 kW externally finned electric elements (pre-heating) which may be individually switched. The warmed air then enters a stabilising section where its condition is determined by humidity or temperature sensor. Next the air flows through the evaporator of the refrigeration unit where it may be cooled and will deposit some of its moisture content as liquid. The cool and drier air passes into another stabilising section with humidity or temperature sensor

The refrigeration circuit is charged with refrigerant R134a. During the proces vapour formed in the evaporator is drawn into a hermetic compressor which discharges into an air cooled condenser. The R134a liquid then passes through a flowmeter and thermostatically controlled expansion valve to the evaporator. Temperature and pressure measuring points are provided in the refrigeration circuit. The fan speed may be varied by a thyristor mounted on the control panel switches and indicators are mounted on the control panel.
