    The cooling unit is designed to supply air at 25°C/18°C to a sealed 5mX5mX3m room. The off coil temperature is calculated to be 10.9°C. As the cooled air mixes with the room air, the room temperature will gradually reduce until it reaches the off coil temperature of 10.9°C. Calculating the room as a control volume and applying an energy balance, it is determined that it will take approximately 8 minutes for the room temperature to equalize to the off coil temperature.

    A cooling unit of capacity 1 TR is designed to supply fully saturated air

    to a perfectly insulated and sealed room measuring 5mX5mX3m. Air


    enters the above unit at “on coil temperature” DB/WB=25°C/18°C
    and flow rate of 300 cfm.
    1. What is the off coil temperature?
    2. Having a perfectly insulated and sealed room, the on coil
    temperature will be reduced gradually until theoretically the
    room temperature reach the off coil temperature. How long, in
    minutes, does it take until the room temperature and off coil
    temperature are equal?

    Solution:
    1. We can determine the properties of the air at on/off coil from the
    below link for psychrometric properties:

    http://www.sugartech.co.za/psychro/index.php

    Air properties at on coil DB/WB= 25°C/18°C (air in “ai”)

    hai KJ/kg 𝝎𝒂𝒊 𝑘𝑔𝑤 /𝑘𝑔𝑎 𝜗𝑎𝑖 𝑚3 /𝑘𝑔


    50.7 0.01 0.86

    𝒎∗𝒂 = 𝟑𝟎𝟎 cfm = 0.142 𝑚3 /𝑠

    𝒎∗𝒂 = 0.142 𝑚3 /s ÷ 0.86 𝑚3 /𝑘𝑔 = 0.165 𝑘𝑔/𝑠

    Design off coil temperature:


    Design Cooling Load Q = 1TR = 3.517 kW

    𝑸 = 𝒎𝒂∗ × ∆𝒉 → ∆ℎ = 3.517 ÷ 0.165 = 19.13 kJ/kg


    ∆h=hon coil-hoff coil→hoff coil=50.7-19.13=31.4 kJ/kg
    The air is fully saturated when RH=100% and DB=WB

    hoff coil=31.4 kJ/kg and RH=100%. These two properties fix the state of
    the off coil temp. Other properties of the off coil are determined
    from the above link:

    Air properties at off coil temperature (or air out “ao”)

    10.9 10.9 31.4 0.0081 0.814

    2. The room is perfectly sealed and insulated, thus as we mix at the first time

    step, the temperature will be reduced, and then the next time step the

    temperature will be reduced even further, etc. hence we would need to


    solve it as a transient problem and theoretically, the room temperature

    should reach 10.9 C.

    In fact, there is no easy way to calculate the time except knowing the heat

    extraction rate and the initial condition. basically, we will treat the cooling

    coil as a black box that is just providing 1 TR= 3.517 kW of cooling. in this

    case:

    State 1: on coil air properties 25/18

    State 2: off coil air properties 10.9/10.9

    𝑢1 = ℎ1 − 𝑝1 𝜗1 → 𝑢1 = 50.7 𝐾𝐽/𝑘𝑔 − (1.013 𝐾𝑁/𝑚2 × 0.86 𝑚3 /𝑘𝑔) →

    𝒖𝟏 = 𝟒𝟗. 𝟖𝟑 𝑲𝑱/𝒌𝒈
    𝑢2 = ℎ2 − 𝑝1 𝜗2 → 𝑢1 = 31.4 𝐾𝐽/𝑘𝑔 − (1.013 𝐾𝑁/𝑚2 × 0.814 𝑚3 /𝑘𝑔) →

    𝒖𝟐 = 𝟑𝟎. 𝟓𝟕 𝑲𝑱/𝒌𝒈

    𝑉 5×5×3
    𝑚1 = = = 87.21 𝑘𝑔
    𝜗1 0.86

    𝑚2 = 𝑚1 [1 − (𝜔1 − 𝜔2 )] → 𝑚2 = 87.21[1 − (0.01 − 0.0081)] →

    𝑚2 = 87.0 𝑘𝑔
