01. INTRODUCTION

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is the technology of indoor and
vehicular environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable
indoor air quality. HVAC system design is a sub discipline of mechanical engineering, based
on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer.
HVAC is an important part of residential structures such as single family homes,
apartment buildings, hotels and senior living facilities, medium to large industrial and office
buildings such as skyscrapers and hospitals, vehicles such as cars, trains, airplanes, ships and
submarines, and in marine environments, where safe and healthy building conditions are
regulated with respect to temperature and humidity, using fresh air from outdoors.
Heaters are appliances whose purpose is to generate heat for the building. This can
be done via central heating. Such a system contains a boiler, furnace, or heat pump to
heat water, steam, or air in a central location such as a furnace room in a home, or a
mechanical room in a large building. The heat can be transferred by convection,
conduction, or radiation. Space heaters are used to heat single rooms and only consist of a
single unit.
Ventilation is the process of changing or replacing air in any space to control
temperature or remove any combination of moisture, odours, smoke, heat, dust, airborne
bacteria, or carbon dioxide, and to replenish oxygen. Ventilation often refers to the
intentional delivery of the outside air to the building indoor space. It is one of the most
important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. Methods for
ventilating building may be divided into mechanical/forced and natural types.
An Air Conditioning system provides cooling and humidity control for all or part
of a building. Air conditioned buildings often have sealed windows, because open windows
would work against the system intended to maintain constant indoor air conditions. Outside,
fresh air is generally drawn into the system by a vent into the indoor heat exchanger section,
creating positive air pressure.

02. OVERVIEW

The three major functions of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning are interrelated,
especially with the need to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality within
reasonable installation, operation, and maintenance costs. HVAC systems can be used in both
domestic and commercial environments. HVAC systems can provide ventilation, and
maintain pressure relationships between spaces. The means of air delivery and removal
from spaces is known as room air distribution.

HISTORY

HVAC is based on inventions and discoveries made by Michael Faraday, Willis

Carrier, James Joule, William Rankine, Sadi Carnot, and many others.
Multiple inventions within this time frame preceded the beginnings of first comfort air
conditioning system, which was designed in 1902 by Alfred Wolff (Cooper, 2003) for the
New York Stock Exchange, while Willis Carrier equipped the Sacketts-Wilhems Printing
Company with the process AC unit the same year. Coyne College was the first school to offer
HVAC training in 1899.
The invention of the components of HVAC systems went hand-in-hand with the
industrial revolution, and new methods of modernization, higher efficiency, and system
control are constantly being introduced by companies and inventors worldwide.

03. MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING

Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) refers to these aspects of building design
and construction. In commercial buildings these aspects are often designed by an engineering
firm specializing in MEP. MEP design is important for design decision-making, accurate
documentation, performance and cost-estimation, construction planning, managing and
operating the resulting facility.
MEP specifically encompasses the in-depth design and selection of these systems, as
opposed to a tradesperson simply installing equipment.
For example:- A plumber may select and install a commercial hot water system
based on common practice and regulatory codes. A team of MEP engineers will research the
best design according to the principles of engineering, and supply installers with the
specifications they develop. As a result, engineers working in the MEP field must understand
a broad range of disciplines, including dynamics, mechanics, fluids, thermodynamics, heat
transfer, chemistry, electricity, and computers

Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing.

1. MECHANICAL:-

The mechanical component of MEP is an important superset of HVAC

services. Thus, it incorporates the control of environmental factors (psychometric),
either for human comfort or for the operation of machines. Heating, cooling,
ventilation and exhaustion are all key areas to consider in the mechanical planning of
a building. In special cases, water cooling/heating, humidity control or air filtration
may also be incorporated.
A major concern for people designing HVAC systems is the efficiency, i.e.,
the consumption of electricity and water. Efficiency is optimised by changing the
design of the system on both large and small scales. Heat pumps and evaporative
cooling are efficient alternatives to traditional systems, however they may be more
expensive or harder to implement. The job of a MEP engineer is to compare these
requirements and choose the most suitable design for the task.
Electricians and plumbers usually have little to do with each other, other than
keeping services out of each other's way. The introduction of mechanical systems
requires the integration of the two so that plumbing may be controlled by electrics and
electrics may be serviced by plumbing. Thus, the mechanical component of MEP
unites the three fields.

❖ REFRIGERATION CYCLE:-
Refrigeration and Air conditioning are provided through the removal of heat.
Heat can be removed through radiation, convection, or conduction. Refrigeration
conduction media such as water, air, ice, and chemicals are referred to as refrigerants.
A refrigerant is employed either in a heat pump system in which a compressor is used
to drive thermodynamic refrigeration cycle, or in a free cooling system which uses
pumps to circulate a cool refrigerant (typically water or a glycol mix).

Refrigeration cycle

Mechanical Engineering Department GNDECB

HVAC DESIGN

i. An Evaporator is a device in a process used to turn the liquid form of a chemical

substance such as water into its gaseous-form/vapour. The liquid is evaporated, or
vaporized, into a gas form of the targeted substance in that process.
ii. A Compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas
by reducing its volume. An air compressor is a specific type of gas
compressor.
iii. The function of the Condenser in a refrigeration system is to transfer heat from the
refrigerant to another medium, such as air and/or water. By rejecting heat, the
gaseous refrigerant condenses to liquid inside the condenser.
iv. The Expansion valve removes pressure from the liquid refrigerant to allow
expansion or change of state from a liquid to a vapour in the evaporator.
A thermostat's basic function is to regulate the operation of heating and cooling
equipment in your home.

❖ PSYCHROMETRIC CHART

A psychometric chart is a graphical representation of the psychometric

processes of air. Psychrometric processes include physical and thermodynamic properties
such as dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, humidity, enthalpy, air density.
A psychometric chart can be used in two different ways. The first is done by plotting
multiple data points, that represent the air conditions at a specific time, on the chart. Then
overlaying an area that identifies the “comfort zone.” The comfort zone is defined as the
range within occupants are satisfied with the surrounding thermal conditions. After plotting
the air conditions and overlaying the comfort zone, it becomes possible to see how passive
design strategies can extend the comfort zone.

2. ELECTRICAL :-
Virtually all modern buildings integrate some form of AC mains
electricity for powering domestic and everyday appliances. Such systems typically run
between 100 and 500 volts, however their classifications and specifications vary greatly
by geographical area. Mains power is typically distributed through insulated copper wire
concealed in the building's subfloor, wall cavities and ceiling cavity. These cables are
terminated into sockets mounted to walls, floors or ceilings. Similar techniques are used
for lights however the two services are usually separated into different circuits with
different protection devices at the distribution board. Whilst the wiring for lighting is
exclusively managed by electricians, the selection of luminaries or light fittings may be
left to building owners or interior designers in some cases.
Three-phase power is commonly used for industrial machines, particularly
motors and high-load devices. Provision for three- phase power must be considered early
in the design stage of a building because it has different regulations to domestic power
supplies, and may affect aspects such as cable routes, switchboard location, large external
transformers and connection from the street.

3. PLUMBIMG :-
Competent design of plumbing systems is necessary to prevent conflicts
with other trades, and to avoid expensive rework or surplus supplies. The scope of standard
residential plumbing usually covers mains pressure potable water, heated water (in
conjunction with mechanical and/or electrical engineers), sewerage, storm water, natural
gas, and sometimes rainwater collection and storage. In commercial environments, these
distribution systems expand to accommodate many more users, as well as the addition of
other plumbing services such as hydroponics, irrigation, fuels, oxygen, vacuum/compressed
air, solids transfer, and more.
Plumbing systems also service air distribution/control, and therefore contribute to the
mechanical part of MEP. Plumbing for HVAC systems involves the transfer of coolant,
pressurised air, water, and occasionall

other substances. Ducting for air transfer may also be consider plumbing, but
is generally installed by different trade people.

04. FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM:-

Fire fighting is the act of attempting to prevent the spread of and extinguish
significant unwanted fires in buildings, vehicles, woodlands, etc. A fire fighter suppresses fires
to protect lives, property and the environment.
One of the major hazards associated with fire fighting operations is the
toxic environment created by combustible materials. The four major risks are smoke, oxygen
deficiency, elevated temperatures, and poisonous atmospheres. Additional hazards include
falls and structural collapse that can exacerbate the problems encountered in a toxic
environment. To combat some of these risks, fire fighters carry self- contained breathing
apparatus.
Engineers concerned with smoke control often specify the use of the
building HVAC system in a special mode of operation for controlling smoke. However,
depending on the type of system and its set of components and controls, HVAC systems may
be easy or difficult to adapt for use in controlling smoke. The various types of HVAC
systems such as multi zone systems, induction unit systems, fan coil systems, VAV, etc. are
described relative to their ease of adaptability for controlling smoke. Also, the role of system
components and controls in HVAC system operation and adaptability of the system as a
smoke control system are described.

TYPES OF FIRE FIGHITING SYSTEM:-

1) SPRINKLER SYSTEM;-
A fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection
method, consisting of a water supply system, providing adequate pressure and
flow rate to a water distribution piping system, onto which fire sprinklers are
connected.

2) GAS EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM:-

Argon is an inert gas obtained from the
ambient air that is stored as an extinguishing agent for stationary fire
extinguishing systems as a compressed gas in high- pressure steel cylinders. Gas
extinguishing systems are used when water, foam or powder extinguishing
systems are not effective or if extinguishing with the above-mentioned
extinguishing agents could cause significant damage.

3) FOAM SYSTEM:-

Fire fighting foam is a foam used for fire

suppression. Its role is to cool the fire and to coat the fuel, preventing

its contact with oxygen, resulting in suppression of the combustion.

regulate and circulate air as part of a heating, ventilating, and air- conditioning
system. An air handler is usually a large metal box containing a blower, heating
or cooling elements filter racks or chambers, sound attenuators, and dampers.
Air handlers usually connect to
a ductwork ventilation system that distributes the conditioned air through the
building and returns it to the AHU. Sometimes AHUs discharge (supply) and
admit (return) air directly to and from the space served without ductwork

c. Duct:-

Ducts are passages used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning

(HVAC) to deliver and remove air. The needed airflows include, for example, supply air,

return air, and exhaust air . Ducts commonly also

deliver ventilation air as part of the supply air. As such, air ducts are one method of ensuring

acceptable indoor air quality as well as thermal comfort.

A duct system is also called ductwork. Planning (laying out), sizing,

optimizing, detailing, and finding the pressure losses through a duct system is called duct

design.

building to the supply the required space. A device located in an opening provided at
the boundaries of the treated space to ensure a predetermined motion of air in this space.

Split Indoor:-
Split-system air conditioners come in two forms: mini-split and central systems. In
both types, the inside-environment (evaporative) heat exchanger is separated by some
distance from the outside-environment (condensing unit) heat exchanger.
Grills

Diffuser:-
Diffusers are very common in heating, ventilating, and air- conditioning systems.
1) To deliver both conditioning and ventilating air
2) Evenly distribute the flow of air, in the desired directions
3) To enhance mixing of room air into the primary air being discharged

HVAC DESIGN

Cassette Unit:-
Cassette units work the same way as wall-hung split system units, with the difference
being that cassettes are installed into the ceiling instead of on the wall. The indoor
unit itself sits flush to your ceiling and distributes conditioned air through two, three
or four sides of the unit. The outdoor unit of a cassette air conditioner is mounted
outside, in much the same way as it would be for a conventional wall mounted split
system unit.

VENTILATION:- Ventilating or ventilation (the "V"

in HVAC) is the process of exchanging or replacing air in any space to provide high
indoor air quality which involves temperature control, oxygen replenishment, and
removal of moisture, odours, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, carbon dioxide,
and other gases.
Ventilation is the process of changing or replacing
air in any space to control temperature or remove any combination of moisture,
odours, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, or carbon dioxide, and to replenish
oxygen. Ventilation includes both the exchange of air with the outside as well as
circulation of air within the building. It is one of the most important factors for
maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. Methods for ventilating a
building may be divided into mechanical/forced and natural types.

7. Impact of HVAC Systems on the Environment:-

When compared to the many other forms of technological advancements

humanity has made over the past decades, air conditioning and electric heating have some of
the smallest negative impact on the environment as a whole. Keeping your home cold in the
summer and warm in the winter does not produce huge amounts of greenhouse gasses or kill
off marine life. The impact of HVAC systems on the environment however, is not completely
nonexistent. While comparably small, the carbon emissions of non-electric systems are still a
contributor to the global issue of pollution, and even if your system is electric then chances
are the electricity was generated from a coal-fired power plant which creates negative runoff
for the atmosphere.
If you care about the environment and your impact on it, the best thing for
you to do about your HVAC system is to follow these suggestions and make sure your impact
on the planet is as small as it can possibly be.
Global warming also is becoming a concern, and agreements may be
adopted to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by reducing the burning of fossil fuels.
Refrigerants have a direct global-warming impact, as well as an indirect impact because of
the energy their systems consume. Thus, any overall system efficiency improvement also will
reduce carbon dioxide emissions. There are

several choices for new or replacement chillers. Centrifugal and rotary

screw chillers utilizing HCFC-123 or HCFC-22 are available from several manufacturers.
Another option is to utilize double-effect absorption chillers, either steam or gas- fired. These
units use water and lithium bromide and have no ozone-depletion or global-warming
potential. The double-effect absorbers are much more efficient than the old-fashioned single-
effect absorbers

9. CONCLUSION:-

A HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system is a very important component
of a healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient building. There are various types of HVAC
installations depending on the location and size of a building. The three common types are
centralized, packaged and individual or decentralized. Since HVAC systems are the largest
energy consumers in a building, it is important to ensure that energy efficiency methods are
in place to ensure reduction in energy consumption, costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
The project report concludes that;

• The concept of chillers water system is clearly explained with the importance of the
system in HVAC Industry & Application.

• The main motive of design of an HVAC system for the building industry purely
depends on the Human comfort values, should be maintained irrespective of location
of the project.
