Objectives Finish with Heat exchangers Learn about Specifics of VAV and DOAS systems

Heat exchanger performance (Book Section 11.3) NTU – absolute sizing (# of transfer units) ε – relative sizing (effectiveness) Criteria NTU ε P RP cr

Summary Calculate efficiency of extended surface Add thermal resistances in series If you know temperatures Calculate R and P to get F, ε, NTU Might be iterative If you know ε, NTU Calculate R,P and get F, temps

Reading Assignment Chapter 11 - From 11.1-11.7

Analysis of Moist Coils Redo fin theory Energy balance on fin surface, water film, air Introduce Lewis Number Digression – approximate enthalpy Redo fin analysis for cooling/ dehumidification (t → h)

Energy and mass balances Steady-state energy equation on air Energy balance on water Mass balance on water

4. Fin analysis for wet fins Heat conduction only occurs in y-direction through water film

Overall Heat Transfer Coefficients Very parallel procedure to dry coil problem U-values now influenced by condensation See Example 11.6 for details

Wet Surface Heat Transfer If you know dry surface heat transfer Reynolds number changes – empirical relationships Approximate wet-surface Does a wet or a dry coil have higher or lower heat exchange? Does a wet or a dry coil have higher or lower pressure drop?

VAV Example One system Multiple Spaces/Zones - VAV box for each space/zone http://www.trane.com/commercial/library/vol242/v24b6.asp

VAV System Terms & Equations (you can find them in ASHRAE Standard 62) Fraction of minimum outdoor air in space/zone supply air Xi = VOAi / VSAi Critical space Space with maximum Xi , Z=max(Xi) Fraction of outdoor air in system supply air X = sum(VOA ) / sum(VSA) Required Fraction of outdoor air: Y=X/(1+X-Z)
