CH 02 - Intro To HVAC Systems - Oct 2020

The document discusses different types of air conditioning systems and their typical applications based on refrigerant tonnage. Window units and split units are used for small rooms or spaces under 5 tons. Air-cooled package units are used for small rooms where water supply is difficult and are 5-20 tons. Water-cooled package units are for medium systems of 20-40 tons. Air-cooled chilled water systems and water-cooled chilled water systems are for medium to large systems over 40 tons. District cooling systems are for large systems over 2000 tons.

4. Air-cooled vs water-cooled
5. Conventional vs inverter
EXAMPLE OF INSTALLATION
Old system
1. Water-cooled chiller with TES
AHU for large space
FCU for small space

2. Additional split/multisplit unit


installed at several locations

New system
Conventional water-cooled chiller
1. Water-cooled chiller connected
to several AHU for Main Hall

2. VRV system for office, surau etc


1. Air-cooled chiller
2. Additional VRV system/split unit
for specific hall/office etc
1. DCS (central plant) with TES
AHU for large space
FCU for small space

2. Separate system for PFI
