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 _______.

- 2.5
- 1.5
- 0.5
- 3.5
Correct Option: B
Rate of ventilation = | = 0.35 | |
3600 |
Cooling load = 1250 × 0.35 × 12 = 5.25 kW = 1.5 TR
