1. Abstract
The main purposes of this experiment are to allow students to get familiarized with air conditioning system and also to obtain experimental data so that the state point can be plotted on a psychrometric chart. The apparatus used in this experiment are SOLTEQ air-conditioning module (Model:HE166-02) which is designed to work with the Base Condensing Unit. The major part of the evaluation procedure is carried out with the aid of psychrometric chart. Thus, the heating power, cooling power and steam enthalpy can be calculated through the experiment.
2. Introduction & Theory
2.1 Air Conditioning
Air conditioning is a system or process for maintaining a living space or industrial facility at the desired temperature and humidity of the air. The SOLTEQ Air-Conditioning Module can be easily couple to the base condensing unit to form a complete refrigeration circuit. This unit involves several components connected by ducting for the air flow. The unit of air conditioning generally contains a blower, heater, cooler, humidifier and de-humidifier. Before the air going into the ducting, it is entering a variable speed centrifugal fan. Steam can be injected when the air entering the fan due to humidify the air. After that, the air passed over externally finned electric elements (pre-heating). The warmed air passed into a stabilizing section with humidity or temperature sensor before flow through the evaporator where it may cool and deposit some of its moisture content as liquid. The cool and drier airs passing over re-heating element after enter another stabilizing section. The re-heater air is flow back to the atmosphere after the condition has been determined.
There are four basic process carried out in air conditioning system:
Heating
