Comparison of water and air as heat-conveying media
Final heat transfer: always from/to air in the conditioned space
Source or Sink(Heater or refrigeration unit)
Conditioned space
Heat source: electric or fuel-fired furnace
Heat sink: refrigeration unitHeat pump: source and sink of energy are the same equipment

Air
Figure 7-1 Concept of heat-conveying process in an air-conditioning system
Located in or remotely located from conditioned space
Air heated/cooled → delivered to the space
Water heated/cooled → heat/cool the air in the space
Advantages of water-over-air distribution arrangement:1. Smaller size of heat source2. Less space by water pipes than by air ducts3. Water pipes are easier to insulate than air ducts
Example7-1 A heat-transfer rate of 250 kW is to be effected through a change in medium temperature of 15C. What must the cross-sectional area be to convey this energy flow if (a) a water pipe is used and the water velocity is 1 m/s and (b) an air duct is used and the air velocity is 10 m/s.
1.Data: A = ? for Q , t if (a) water, Vw (b) air, Va 2.Assumption:
Air used in small plants, i.e. residential and small commercialWater used in large plants, i.e. chilled-water in large air conditioning systems
Water heaters
Heat source: electric resistance heating or fuel-fired furnace [combustion of fuel (natural gas, coal, oil)]
Fuel-fire water heater: steel with safety code, classified by operating pressure, lowest-pressure -- 100C
Fire-tube water heater: combustion gas in tubes, water in shell around tubes
Efficiency = qsupply/LHVLower heating value: water vapor in flue gasApprox. 80%
Heater size may be chosen larger than max. design for night/weekend setback, larger piping size also.
Heat distribution from hot-water systems
Heat exchanger: coil in warm air ducts, fan-coil units, natural convection convectors
A baseboard convector:Hot water flows through tube,air being heated flows by natural convection up over the tube and find and out of the louvers A fan-coil units (FCU)
Fig.7-4 heating capacity of a certain baseboard convector, based on room air temperature at 18C.
Example7-2 What mean water temperature is needed in the baseboard convector of Fig.7-4 to compensate the heat loss from a single-pane window glass wall when the indoor and outdoor design air temperature are 21 and -23C, respectively? The height of the glass is 2.4 m, and the convectors are placed along the entire length of wall.
Ana.: baseboard convectors can handle the extreme load from single-glass window.
High temperature water systems
High-temperature water (HTW): supply water 180 - 230CSaturation pressure 1000 – 2800 kPaTo transfer energy with lower flow rates (high p), Q = mcT = mh
Steam generator as heaterPressurization: no vaporization in heaterFlashing in to vapor – in distribution system
Method of pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen with level control of N2 to keep pressure in system
Saturated water

Pipe Sizes
Iron Pipe Size (IPS) - an old pipe sizing system, early 1900; USA, UK- Pipe size: inside diameters of pipes (ID),i.e. IPS 6 = ID 6 in- Still used in some industries, and PVC manufacturers
In 1920s, Copper Tube Size (CTS) combined IPS standards- Pipe size: OD & wall thickness (STD, XS, XXS)STD - Standard, XS - Extra Strong, XXS - Double Extra Strong
In 1948, Nominal Pipe Size (NPS)[in], Diameter Nominal (DN)[mm]
→ NPS average between OD & ID for steel pipe
thicknesses of Steel pipe by Schedule (SCH), SCH40 = STD [ASTM}Schedule number 1000(Pressure)/(yield Stress)thicknesses of Steel pipe by Class A, B ,C (thick) [British Standard]thicknesses of Copper tube by Type K, L
NPS = 1” (DN = 25 mm)OD = 33.4 mm
SCH40 = STDID = 26.64 mm
SCH80 = XSID = 24.30 mm
SCH160ID = 20.70 mm
XXSID = 15.21 mm
3.4 4.5 6.7thick = 9.2
Available pipe and tubing Most common in refrigeration: Type L copper tubing – by ODSchedule 40 steel pipe – by NPS or DN
Sch40 NPS < 14” (356 mm) → NPS < ID < ODSch80 NPS < 14” → ID < NPS < ODNPS 14” → NPS (or DN) = OD
Caused by1. Compressors and motors2. Opening/closing of suction and discharge valves3. Flow impact to valves and cylinders 4. Flow with high velocity and turbulence
Protect by1. Balancing of compressors and motors2. Installation spring and elastic anti-vibration
3. Short pipe – curved pipe to support vibrationLarge pipe – connected with soft/flexible pipe
4. Discharge muffler – ทีเ่กบ็เสยีงดา้นล่าง compressor5. Pipe, under vibration, hanged with spring/rubber hangers
Pressure drop of water flowing in pipe
Pressure drop in straight pipe: p = f(L/D)(V2/2) [Darcy-Weisbach equation]
in fitting pipe: p = K(V2/2) f(Leq/D)(V2/2), K f(Leq/D)Engineering calculation [D, p]: SI [mm, Pa/mm.wg], IP [in, psig/in.wg]
Example7-3 Compute the pressure drop when 3.0 L/s of 80C water flows through a steel pipe with a nominal diameter of 50 mm (ID = 52.5 mm) that is 40 m long.
Data: p = ? Water (Q, t) flows through pipe (ND, ID, L)
Assume: steady flow
Method: p = f(L/ID)(V2/2)f = f(Re,/D) Moody chart or formula:f = 0.25[log{/3.7ID+5.74/Re0.9}]-2
1. Return oil to compressor at adequate velocity at all steps of unloading
2. Ensure that only liquid refrigerant enter the expansion device3. Minimize system capacity and efficiency loss4. Minimize refrigerant charge5. Insulate line that are route through very warm spaces (Liquid line)6. Avoid excessive noise
General piping requirements1. Use clean type L copper tubing
2. Properly support piping to account for expansion, vibration, and weight
3. Avoid installing piping underground4. Test entire refrigerant circuit to leak

Liquid line: liquid, smaller diameter, more pdrop → more liquid flashes into vapor → expansion device will not work properly
3. less vapor at the inlet to the evaporator → lower pressure drop in the evaporator
2. only liquid enters into the throttling device → efficient operation
