A chilled air conditioning system is to be designed for a three-story office complex, as outlined in Figure. Ethylene
glycol, a commonly employed heat transfer liquid medium, is to be used. Average properties of the ethylene glycol
in the temperature range of interest are density =69.6lb(m)/(t)t^(3), specific heat =0.569Bt(u)/(l)bm-R, and viscosity =
0.0133lb(m)/(t)t-s. Cooling requirements are as follows:
The head loss through the air-handling unit in each building is a function of the flow rate (cfs) through the unit. An
approximate expression is K=f(Q^(2)), where
K=18.6-11.7Q+2.29Q^(2)
Where Q is the flow rate in cubic feet per second (cfs) through an AHU and the KQ^(2) is in ft-lb(f)/(l)bm. The head loss in
ft-lb(f)/(l)bm across the chiller is taken to be 1.25Q^(2), where Q is the total flow rate in cfs. The temperature exits the
chiller 20\deg F cooler that it enters. The lines are well insulated, so that heat is minimized. In addition, the following
specifications mustbe met:
Provide valves to isolate each AHU .
Provide valves to isolate supply and return lines.
Provide the pipe in each line (ANSI schedule 40).
Pipe velocities must be between the economics velocities.
Provide valves to isolate the pump.
The head and power delivered to the fluid for pump.
The head loss in each line.
