1. Calculate the Volume Flow Rate of air through the coil. 2. Find the Mixed Air Dry Bulb temperature. 3. 3 Find the Apparatus Dew Point Temperature. d h 4. Calculate the Bypass Factor. 5. Measure / calculate the Total Heat, Sensible Heat & Latent Heat removed by the coil. 6. Calculate the Mass Flow Rate of air. 7. Calculate the operating Refrigeration Capacity of the coil coil. 8. Calculate the Moisture Removal rate. 9. How many litres of water would be removed from the air in one hour if the machine operated with the same set of conditions?

Given: Coil Face Size Velocity of air over coil

- 980mm x 650mm - 2.5m/s

Area = Length x Width Volume = Area (A) x Velocity (U)

When two or more air streams converge or mixed, the resultant temperature of the mixed air stream can be calculated. MA = (T1 x Q1) + (T2 x Q2) Q3 T1 Temperature 1st stream Q1 Air quantity 1st stream T2 Temperature 2nd stream Q2 - Air quantity 2nd stream Q3 - Air quantity 3rd stream

Extend a line from the Mixed Air through the Supply Air po t point t oug t e Supp y until it touches the saturation curve. At the point the line touches the saturation curve is the ADP

Mass Flow Rate (kg/s) ass o ate ( g/s) M = V v (m3/s) (kg/m3)

V = Volume Flow Rate (m3/s) v = Specific Volume (kg/m3)

Q = M x TH Q M TH = Capacity (kj/s or kW) = Mass Flow Rate (kg/s) = Total Heat absorbed (kj/kg)

If we know the specific humidity of the air entering the coil and the specific humidity of the air l leaving the coil and the mass flow rate of air h l d h fl f we can calculate the moisture the coil removes.
