20 WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO COVER HVAC Overview Typical Systems Q & A

21 GLOSSARY BTU - Energy to heat 1 lb. water/1º F. Ton - Amount of heat released (cooling effect) of 1 ton of ice melting in one day 144 x 2000 = 12,000 BTU/hr. 24 Evaporator - A coil or heat exchanger that removes heat from an airstream or fluid. Condenser - A coil or heat exchanger that releases heat to an airstream or fluid. CFM - (Cubic Feet per Minute) Measure of air quantity. Direct Expansion - A system that uses the refrigerant to directly cool the airstream through the evaporator. Economizer - The ability to cool without using refrigeration.

22 TYPES OF HVAC SYSTEMS Direct Expansion (DX Unit) - Rooftop VAV - Water Source Heat Pump - Water Cooled VAV Central Station Chilled Water

23 BASIC BUILDING BLOCK DX SPLIT SYSTEM UNIT Roof Thermal Expansion Valve 115º F Liquid Line 285 psi 55º /54º Fan 95º F Condenser Hot Gas Line SA= Supply Air RA= Return Air 140º F 285 psi 80º /67º 40º F RA DX Cooling Coil 70 psi Suction Line Compressor SA

24 ROOFTOP VAV Rooftop VAV- A roof mounted packaged air conditioning that includes all the components for a complete cooling system.

25 ROOFTOP VAV DX Rooftop Unit Outside Air SA= Supply Air RA= Return Air RA SA SA RA SA SA

26 ROOFTOP VAV Pros Cons - Equipment does not consume floor space - Single Package - Single Responsibility - Available in Sizes from tons - Each AC-system is independent of the other - no domino effect - Units on Roof - architect, structural maintenance issue - Not suited to buildings 5 or more stories (shaft space required) - Usually only as efficient as codes require

27 WATER SOURCE HEAT PUMP A single package that provides cooling and heating Units are distributed around the floor plan connected by a condenser water loop to reject heat to atmosphere. Heating Cycle Cooling Cycle Rejected Heat Heated Air Cooled Air Condenser/Evaporator Condenser/Evaporator Water Loop Water Loop

28 Cooling Tower WATER SOURCE HEAT PUMP SA= Supply Air RA= Return Air Water Heater Boiler (Heat Source) RA RA SA SA RA RA SA SA

29 WATER SOURCE HEAT PUMP Allows for Reverse Cycle (heat pump) Heating - Occupied & Unoccupied Pros Cons - Distributed units around floor plan - limits cooling or heating failure to small area. - Reduced ductwork requirements - Good energy costs - Equipment in occupied space - sound, service issues - Water piping above occupied space - Limited outside air capabilities - localized humidity issues if outside air is not treated - Needs significant interior space to be effective (heat pump heating)

30 WATER COOLED VAV Individual fusing and single power connection Acoustically treated discharge plenum A self contained air conditioning unit with variable air volume fan & refrigeration. The unit rejects heat to a water loop. MicroTech control panel Quiet, efficient multiple compressor design

31 WATER COOLED VAV Outside Air Outside Air SA= Supply Air DX AC RA SA SA RA= Return Air DX AC RA SA SA Heat Exchanger Cooling Tower Mechanical Room

32 WATER COOLED VAV Pros Cons - One unit per floor - often used on high rise buildings - VAV Capability - Compact Installation - Available with water side economizer if shaft space for outside air economizer is limited - Can be more efficient (tower selection) - Unit requires occupied floor space (core) - Sound issues with unit location - Duct height constraints leaving mechanical room - Limited outside air economizer capability

33 CENTRAL STATION CHILLED WATER Chilled water distributed at 44º F, is piped to air handlers around the building.

34 CENTRAL STATION CHILLED WATER RA SA SA SA= Supply Air RA= Return Air RA SA SA Cooling Tower OA Intake Areaway Relief Discharge Chilled Water AHU Water Cooled Chiller

35 CENTRAL STATION CHILLED WATER Pros - Centralized location for cooling/heating equipment - Best efficiency of components - Superior Control (compared to DX) - Most opportunities for alternate energy sources, dual fuels, heat reclaim Cons - Expense - Space

36 TERMINAL UNITS VAV Shut Off Box - Used as shown for truly interior spaces - Used with a reheat coil where there is a roof heating load

37 TERMINAL UNITS Fan Powered VAV - used on the perimeter where higher heating air flows are required - or in conference rooms where air changes are desired. Series Parallel

38 DESIGN ISSUES - HEIGHT INTERFERENCE Finished Floor Slab 6 Steel Fire Proofing 1-2 Available for Duct Height 7-12 Clearance for Lights, Sprinklers, Diffusers Floor to Floor Ceiling Height 9-10 Finished Floor
