    This document provides an example of calculating the supply air temperature and heater battery load for a room in winter conditions. It outlines the procedure, which includes plotting the indoor, outdoor and mixing conditions on a psychrometric chart. The supply air temperature is found to be 32.5°C where the room ratio line intersects the line from the mixing point. Given a sensible heat loss of 18 kW and this supply air temperature, the mass flow rate is calculated to be 1.55 kg/s. Using the specific enthalpies at the supply air and mixing points, the required heater battery output is calculated to be 24.8 kW.

    Example 2.

    Winter Cycle
    A room has a 18.0 kW sensible heat loss in winter and a 4.5 kW latent heat
    gain from the occupants.

    Determine the supply air temperature and heater battery load using the
    following information.

    DATA:

     Indoor condition: 21oC dry-bulb temperature, 50% saturation


     Outdoor condition: -2oC DB., 80% saturation
     The outdoor air and recirculated air ratio is 20%/80%
     No preheating or humidification takes place in this simplified example

    Procedure (Winter Cycle)


    1. Draw schematic diagram of air-conditioning plant (see above)
    2. Plot room condition R on psychrometric chart.

    3. Plot outside condition O on psychrometric chart.

    4. No Preheater condition P

    5. Join points O and R

    6. Find the mix point M by measuring the length of the line O-R and multiply
    this by the mixing ratio.

    On a full size CIBSE psychrometric chart this measures 110mm.


    The ratio of recirculated air is 0.
    therefore; 110mm x 0.8 = 88mm
    Measure up the O-R line from point O by 88mm.

    This determines point M

    If there is more recirculated air than outside air at the mix point, then
    point M will be closer to point R than point O.
    7. Find the room ratio

    This is the sensible to total heat ratio.

    Neglect signs ie. the total heat for the room will be Sensible loss plus
    Latent gain.

    Total heat = 18 kW sensible + 4.5 kW latent = 22.5 kW total.


    Heat ratio = 18 / 22.5 = 0.8

    Plot this ratio on the protractor, top segment, on the psychrometric chart
    and transfer this line onto the chart so that it passes through point R.
    8. Find the supply air dry bulb temperature by calculation.
    9. Plot the supply air condition S on the room ratio line.
    This is on a horizontal line from point M to the right hand side of the
    chart, and intersects with the RRL.
    The supply air Temperature is found to be 32.5oC.

    Supply Air Flow Rate


    When the sensible heat loss and supply air temperature in winter are
    known then the mass flow rate of air is calculated from the following
    formula:

    Hs = ma x Cp (ts - tr)

    where:
    Hs = Sensible heat loss (kW)
    ma = mass flow rate of air (kg/s)
    Cp = Specific heat capacity of humid air (approx.1.01 kJ/kg degC)
    tr = room temperature
    o
    ( C)
    ts = supply air temperature
    (oC) ..............therefore:

    ma = Hs / Cp ( ts - tr )

    ma = 18 / 1.01 (32.5 - 21)

    ma = 18 / 11.615

    ma = 1.55 kg/s

    Heater Battery Output


    The heater battery output is as follows:

    H reheater battery = ma ( hS - hM)

    where:
    H reheater battery = Reheater battery output (kW)
    ma = mass flow rate of air (kg/s)
    hS = specific enthalpy at condition S (kJ/kg)
    hM = specific enthalpy at condition M (kJ/kg)

    The specific enthalpies at points S and M are shown on the


    psychrometric chart below.
    Hheater battery = ma ( hS - hM)

    Hheater battery = 1.55 ( 50 - 34)

    Hheater battery = 24.8 kW

    Therefore the heater battery load is 24.8 kW.
