Architecture and Planning Miscellaneous

  1. A room having dimension 12m × 10m × 3.5m is required to be mechanically ventilated by airconditioner. The temperature difference outdoor ambient air and the supply air is 12°C. Consider three air exchanges per hour. The volumetric specific heat of the air is 1250 J/m3 °C. Assume one ton of refrigeration (TR) is equal to 3.5kW. The capacity of the air-conditioner for the room in TR will be _______.
    1. 2.5
    2. 1.5
    3. 0.5
    4. 3.5
Correct Option: B

Rate of ventilation =
(12 × 10 × 3.5 × 3)
= 0.35
3600

Cooling load = 1250 × 0.35 × 12 = 5.25 kW = 1.5 TR
