Current Industry Practice


• Use rule of thumb to size Air-Conditioning?
– 200 ~ 220 Watt/m2, 80 ~ 90 Btu/ft2
• Use manual spreadsheet?
– Compute solar gain, etc?
• Use a Computer Software
– Trane software
– Carrier E-20
– Etc.

Building Envelope Properties


• Used actual building properties!
• Ask for the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of Glazing
• Ask for the U-value of wall and roof.
• Input the Thermal Capacity of material to model
thermal mass

• Have faith in Science and in the 1st Law of


Thermodynamic.

Infiltration heat gain


• A measured result of 10 government office
buildings in 2010 by JKR indicates
– Average total fresh air in building is ~ 1 ach.
– Measured highest fresh air in building is ~ 2 ach.

• Based on occupant density of 10 m2/person and 4


m of height of office spaces.
– ~ 0.5 ach.

• This indicates that on average buildings have an


additional infiltration of 0.5 ach.

option
• Pipe Sizes:
– Reduction in sizes, reduces capital cost,
while maintaining the same pump head. Or,
– Maintain pipe sizes, while reducing pump
head, increasing efficiency.
• Chilled Water Supply Temperature:
– Reduced temperature, reduces chiller
efficiency, i.e.
• 6.67°C to 5.56°C (44°F to 42°F)
• Chilled Water Return Temperature:
– Increased ΔT, increases cooling coil sizes in
AHU, increasing capital cost.

Caution on chiller study


• DOE-2 Chillers Performance Curve-Fit
– Centrifugal Chiller based on chillers manufactured
around 1975.
• Newer centrifugal chiller can be significantly more
efficient at part load.
– Screw Chiller curve-fit was updated recently.
• ~ 2006 updated
– VSD Chiller curve-fit is the latest introduction.
• ~ 2006 introduced.
• Based on a frictionless centrifugal chiller.

Condenser Pump Efficiency

15/10/2014

High ΔT Condenser Flow Rate


• Typical Design: 95/85°F (35/29.44°C)
– Flow Rate: 2.4 gpm/ton

• Higher Condenser Flow Rate


– Chiller efficiency is better
– But, Pump power increases

• Condition Tested:
– 93/85°F (33.9/29.4°C) – 3.0 gpm/ton
– 95/85°F (35/29.4°C) – 2.4 gpm/ton
– 97/85°F (36.1/29.44°C) – 2.0 gpm/ton
