principle. The AC test Rig consist a 0.75 T sealed compressor unit, a finned condenser (heating coil)
and evaporator (cooling coil), a motor to run fan and another blower and fitted on a Frame stand.
The velocity of the air passing through the coil is measured by using Digital Anemometer. Control
panel consist of 1 p hase energy meter to measure power consumed by compressor, a pressure gauge
to measure pressure of discharge side compound vacuum gauge to measure suction side pressure, a
digital temperature indicator to measure temperature at various places. The desired temperature find
out by changing position of selector switch with it.

Procedure: Switch on the power supply to system i.e. start the compressor simultaneously start fan blower
motor also. Now compressed refrigerant passing through the condenser and after condensing. It goes
to evaporator, where due to cooling effect air, which is sucked by blower cools. After few minute the
air at the outlet of air duct will become cool at that time.

Run the system for quite some time before taking readings.
Note down number of revolutions of energy meter carefully with the help of stop watch.
Insure considerable cooled air output from air duct.
The system should not switch OFF immediately after once switched ON.
The control valve of pressure and compound gauge should open partly; when it is required to
measure pressure otherwise valves must be closed.
Do not twist any pipe line and handle all switches valves very carefully only as and when
required.

HEAT FACTOR :
SENSIBLE HEAT PROCESS
HEATING OR COOLING Heating or cooling of air without addition or subtraction of moisture is termed as
SENSIBLE HEATING OR COOLING . Heating can be achieved by passing the air over heating coil like
electric resistance heating coils or steam coils. Sensible cooling can be achieved by passing the air over
cooling coli like evaporating coil of the refrigerant cycle or secondary brine coil.
HEATING COILS
Sensible heating : Air flows over a heating coil Surface temperature ts higher than tdb of air
The Sensible Heat Ratio - SHR - express the ratio between the sensible heat load and the total heat load and
can be expressed as:
SHR = qs / qt
(1)
where
SHR = sensible heat ratio (ratio of sensible heat load to total heat load)
qs = sensible heat (kW, Btu/hr)
qt = total heat - sensible heat and latent heat (kW, Btu/hr)
(1) can be modified to:
SHR = cp (to - ti) / (ho - hi)
(2)
where
cp = specific heat air (kJ/kgoC, Btu/lboF)
to = outlet temperature (oC, oF)
ti = inlet temperature (oC, oF)
ho = outlet enthalpy (kJ/kg, Btu/lb)
hi = inlet enthalpy (kJ/kg, Btu/lb)
