| Module Aim(s): | This
module aims to provide students with the
essential knowledge and the practical aspects of
heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and
refrigeration (HVACR) systems for the design of
air-conditioning systems for buildings by taking
into consideration the heating and cooling load
characteristics of buildings and performance
characteristics of air-conditioning systems with
an emphasis on both the design and the part-load
performance of the systems. It also aims to
develop students’ competence to make relevant
decisions that complies to requirement on energy
efficiency of buildings and air-conditioning
systems. |
| Objectives: | On
completion of this Module, students are expected
to be able to: 1. apply psychrometric analysis to determine the operating conditions such as heat and moisture transport in air- conditioning processes and cycles; 2. estimate the contributions of various sources of heat gains and losses to design cooling and heating loads of zones and buildings; 3. analyse the ventilation requirements for occupants ; 4. determine duty and power demand of fans in HVAC air handling and distribution; 5. critically review performance of HVAC air handling and distribution with constant air volume (CAV) control and variable air volume (VAV) control for premises within buildings; and 6. discuss the considerations that lead to the selection of control methods in HVAC air handling and distribution.. |
