Assigment Load Calculation

The document provides details on calculating the cooling load of a room in New Delhi, India using the steady state method. It lists specifications of the room including dimensions, materials, occupancy, and weather data. It then calculates individual heat gain components of conduction through various surfaces, ventilation, solar gain, and internal sources. The total cooling load is calculated as the sum of heat gains minus any heat losses, which for this example room in May is 3485.81 Watts.

ACTIVITY # 02: COOLING LOAD CALCULATION BY STEADY STATE METHOD


INTENT: This exercise is intended to enable you to determine cooling load of a building by
steady state method.
POINTS: 10%
EXERCISE: If the room is maintained at 25°C by an air conditioner then find the cooling load

Place: New Delhi Month: May


Daily outside temperature in May 32.7°C Inside design temperature 25°C
Daily average solar radiation on south wall: 111.3
W/m2 Daily average solar radiation on east wall: 158.2 W/m2
Daily average solar radiation on north wall: 101.1 W/m 2 Daily average solar radiation on west wall: 155.2 W/m2
Daily average solar radiation on roof: 303.1 W/m2
Surface conductivity of wall – 10 W/m2 K Surface conductivity of roof – 22.70 W/m2 K
Ventilation rate:2 air changes per hour Artificial light: three 100 W bulbs
Density of air = 1.2 kg/m3 Occupants: four persons (normal office work, 24 hours
Specific heat of air 1300 J/kg K occupancy)
Windows (1.5m x 3 m) on south wall, single glazed Door 1.2 x 2 m on the north wall
Transmissivity of window 0.86 Absorptivity of wood for solar radiation 0.6
Absorptivity of glazing for solar radiation 0.06
Uwall = 3.00 W/m2 K Uglazing = 5.77 W/m2 K
Uroof = 2.31 W/ m2 K Udoor = 3.18 W/m2 K
Absorptance of external wall surfaces 0.6
Formula used:
Q= Qc+Qv+Qs+Qi-Qe
Qi = Internal heat gain

Qi = Heat gain by Light + heat gain by people

1. Heat gain by people


Heat gain by people = No. of people x sensible heat = 4 x 100 = 400 W
No. of people = 4
Occupants: four persons (normal office work)

2. Heat gain by Lights


Light load = 3 x 100 = 300 W

Qi = 300 + 400 = 700 W

Qv = Ventilation gain or loss


Qv = 1300 x V x T
1300 = Volumetric specific heat of air
V = Ventilation Rate
(N= 2 air changes per hour)

= (n x room volume)/3600
= 0.033

T = change in temperature = To – Ti = 32.7°C - 25°C = 7.7°C


(use of glass)

Qv = 1300 x V x T = 1300 x 0.033 x 7.7 = 330.33 W

Qs = Solar Heat flow

Qs = A x I x 0
A = Area of window = 1.5 x 3 = 4.5 m2
I = Radiation heat flow density = 111.3 W/m2
0 = Solar gain factor of window glass = 0.86 = Transmissivity of window

Qs = AxIx0
= 4.5 x 111.3 x 0.86 =430.731 W
Qc = Heat transmission by Conduction

Qc= U x A x (Tsol-Ti)
To calculate Qc (heat transmission by conduction) for all the elements of the building envelope.
Qc(north) = U x A x (Tsol-Ti)

T sol = To + I x A x Ro
To = outdoor air temperature
A = Absorptance of external wall surfaces
I = Daily average solar radiation on north wall
K = Surface conductivity of wall
Ro = outdoor air film resistance

❖ North wall

U = 3.00 W/m2 K
I= 101.1 W/ m2
A = Area of wall – Area of door = (5 x 3) – (1.2 x 2)
A = 15 – 2.4 = 12.6 m2

T sol = To + I x a x Ro

Ro = Thickness/conductivity
= 0.23/10 = 0.023 m2 °C/W

T sol = To + I x a x Ro
= 32.7 + 101.1 x 0.6 x 0.023
= 32.7 + 1.39518 = 34.09°C

Ti = Indoor Temperature = 25°C

Qcnorth= U x A x (Tsol-Ti)
= 3 x 12.6 x (34.09-25)
= 3 x 12.6 x 9.09 = 343.602 W

❖ South wall

U = 3.00 W/m2 K
I= 111.3 W/ m2
A = Area of wall – Area of window = 5 x 4 – 1.5 x 3

Ti = Indoor Temperature = 25°C
T sol = To + I x A x Ro

Ro = Thickness/conductivity
= 0.23/10 = 0.023 m2 °C/W

T sol = To + I x a x Ro
= 32.7 + 111.3 x 0.6 x 0.023
= 32.7 + 1.53594 = 34.23°C

Qcsouth= U x A x (Tsol-Ti)

U = 3.00 W/m2 K
Absorptivity (a)= 0.6
I= 158.2 W/ m2
A = Area of wall = 4x 3 = 12 m2
T sol = To + I x a x Ro

Ro = Thickness/conductivity = b/k
= 0.23/10 = 0.023 m2 °C/W

T sol = To + I x a x Ro
= 32.7 + 158.2 x 0.6 x 0.023
= 32.7 + 2.18316 = 34.88°C

Ti = Indoor Temperature = 25°

Qceast= U x A x (Tsol-Ti)

Ti = Indoor Temperature = 25°

To-Ti (we have used glass here)

Qcwindow= U x A x (To-Ti)

A = Area of roof = 5 x 4 = 20 m2
Absorptivity (a)= 0.6
I= 303.1

T sol = To + I x a x Ro

Ro = Thickness/conductivity

T sol = To + I x a x Ro
= 32.7 + 303.1 x 0.6 x .006
= 32.7 + 1.2 = 33.39°C

Qcroof= U x A x (Tsol-Ti)
= 2.31 x 20 x (33.39-25)
= 2.31 x 20 x 9.84 = 411.19 W

total Qc = 2024.75 W

To calculate total Q
Q = 2024.75 + 330.3 + 430.731 + 700 – 0
Q = 3485.81 W
