HVAC for Laboratory Animal Facilities

4 Oct 2012 @ IMR Su Swee Peng

Temperature 23 + 1 C Humidity 50 + 5 % RH Ventilation

Air distribution
Cleanliness
All Ducted Non-laminar

Flow rates driven by cooling loads /ACH/exhaust

Adequate fresh air

HEPA filter Pressure differential

All-air type (CV DX with Reheat) Single zone (or multi-zone?) Airside Control?

Temperature Humidity Pressure

Clean air (HEPA filter) Redundancy: N+1 ? Emergency power?

Fresh Air

Supply air

Mixed air section


VFD

Return air

Refrigerant loop

DX Single Zone CV (without humidity control)

Condenser

Expansion valve

Compressor

Cooling coil

ACCU

Suction line

AHU

Liquid line

Refrigeration Cycle

Vapor Compression Cycle

Frozen Coil

Frozen Coil Whats the problem?

Low air flow (e.g. fan or duct undersized, filter block) Low refrigerant charge Blocked liquid line Oversize compressor Low ambient

Finding the Answer

Check airflow rates


Supply diffusers Return grilles Exhaust

Main duct traverse, if possible Check duct calculation Record supply air/return air temperatures Refrigeration diagnostic Mechanical/Electrical trending
Fan/compressor motor current Fan speeds control setpoints etc

Check suction/condenser pressure, superheat, subcooling
