Air Conditioner

The document describes a performance test conducted on an air conditioning system to determine its coefficient of performance (COP) and bypass factor. Key parameters like temperature, pressure, and revolutions were measured and recorded. Formulas are provided to calculate the refrigeration effect, capacity, theoretical and Carnot COPs based on enthalpy values obtained from refrigerant pressure-enthalpy charts. The experiment was conducted and the COP of the AC system was determined.

PERFORMANCE TEST ON AC PLANT

AIM:
To conduuct performance test on AC plant and to determine COP and by-pass
Factor.

APPARATUS:
1)Switch on power to start the air-conditioning system and after
2 minutes switch compressior.
2)Using aremometer measure velocity of air passing terro dret and
Note critical temp of air
3)Allow system to stabliz for 15min and take the observation for
Pressure, temp of refrigerant.
4)Taken down the time for ‘n’ revolution of energy neear disc.
TAKE 5 (OR) 10 REV
5)Then role down outlet temp of air cdry bulb.

DESCRIPTION:
Refrigeration is the science of producing and maintaining temp below
That of surrounding atmosphere. This means the removal of heat from the
Substance to be removed and cooled.
A/C test rig consists of vapour compression system and two process of
Compression. Conditions expansion of vapouization are completed in cycle.
In air for supply of fresh air and cold air and air conditions system which is
comprising dampers filters coils, fans, etc…..

FORMULA:
DBT = Dry Bulb Temperature [Td]
WBT = Wet Bulb Temperature [Tw]
[1] ha = ρw hw / ρa
ρw = Density of water [1000 kg/m3].
hw = Manometer reading.
ρa = Density of air [1.123 kg/m3].

[2] Va = Velocity of air


Va = √2 x g x ha
g = acceleration due to gravity 9.81m/s2.

[3] Mass of air [ma] = ρa x A x Va

[4] Refrigeration effect = ma [h2 – h1].

[5] Capacity = Refrigeration effect / 3.5


[1 tonne of refrigeration = 210 KJ/min. = 3.5 KW]

[6] Carnot COP = TL / [TH - TL]


TL = Lower temperature to be maintained in the evaporator.
TH = Higher temperature to be maintained in the condenser.

[7] Theoretical COP = [h1–h3] / [h2–h1]


[Where h1, h2, h3 are enthalpies of refrigerant taken from p-h chart.]
Theoretical COP = 4.

[3] Mass of air ma = ρa x A x Va


ρa = Density of air [kg/m3]
Va = Velocity of air [m/s]

A=HxL

[4] Refrigeration effect = m [h2 – h1].


h2 = Enthalpy of ambient air [KJ/kg.]
h1 = Enthalpy of condition air [KJ/kg.]

[5] Capacity = Refrigeration effect /3.5

[6] Carnot COP = TL / [TH - TL]


TL = Lower temperature to be maintained in the evaporator in absolute unit [°K].
TH = Higher temperature to be maintained in the condenser in absolute unit [°K].

[7] Theoretical COP = [h1–h3] / [h2–h1]


h1 corresponding to P1 and T1.
h2 corresponding to P2 and T2.
h3 corresponding to P3 and T3.
[Enthalpy is to be found out from the P-h diagram of R-22]

RESULT:
The experiment was conducted and COP of the air-conditioning
System was found.
