An air conditioning plant is designed to maintain a room at a condition of 200C dry bulb temperature and specific humidity 0.0079 kg/kg dry air when the outside condition is 300C dry bulb temperature and 40% saturation. The corresponding heat gains are 18000 W (sensible) and 3600 W(latent). The supply air contains one-third outside air by mass and the supply temperature is to be 150C dry bulb temperature.
The plant consists of mixing chamber for fresh and recirculated air, an air washer with chilled spray water with an efficiency of 80%, an after heater battery and a supply fan.
Neglecting temperature changes in fan and ducting, calculate:
- the mass flow rate of supply air necessary ;
- the specific humidity of the supply air;
- the cooling load on the washer;
- the heating load on the after heater.
