Notes
Load calculations for each space in project.
Central means chilled water system.
We must make calculation sheet for each space.
We must define the space and in which floor it locates.
We must study the outdoor condition and indoor condition according to
application.
We must define if I want to reach the comfort zone for people or for machine such
as textile machines which needs high RH .
Some industries RH=30 % is a must (choc.).
Some applications RH is not important but dry bulb temp. is very important such as
electronics rooms (it & server) the temp is 68 F not 75 F .
Generally any machine we must check its catalogue and the condition which need.
After defining our application ,conditions we need and the minimum Two point
which enable us enter psychrometric chart we start load calculations.

If ADP< 48F°
This means that effective sensible heat factor small value
ESHF= ((RSH+0.1FASH)/ (RSH+RLH+0.1(FASH+FALH)))
ESHF < 0.74 in this case.
We use reheater to solve this problem
To calculate the reheater capcity
ESHF=0.74 at ADP=48F°
0.74 = (RSH+0.1 FASH+RE)/(RSH+RLH+0.1(FASH+FALH)+RE))
RE= √ BRU/HR
CFM = (RSH+0.1 FASH+RE)/(1.08*(1-BF)*(TR–TADP))

CHILLED WATER SYSTEM
Design steps
1. Find the cooling load for each zone.
2. Select the suitable cooling coil for each zone (do not extra overestimate
or underestimate the apparatus).
3. Refine your cooling load based on the selected units, however the
chilled water system works based on the zone demand not on the coil
capacity.
4. Multiply the new cooling load by the diversity factor to find the chiller
capacity.
5. Select the chiller based on the cooling capacity and the ambient
temperature.
6. Select the riser positions.
7. Connect the coils to the main branches and then to the riser.
8. Start the pipe sizing including the riser.
9. Start to connect the pumps, expansion tank and chillers.

BMS
BMS
All buildings have mechanical and electrical service. These
services need to be controlled by some means (BMS) in
order to ensure comfort conditions.
BMS is doing the followings:
• Central controlling facilities.
• Automatically control various operation.
• Manage and coordinate various systems.
• Provides a comfortable conditions in efficient way.
• Systems to be controlled (lighting, fire fighting, smoke
management, HVAC and attendance reporting)
BMS
Gas sensors monitor the gases concentrations and
control the
ventilation systems.
Occupancy sensor / people schedule in various areas
gives signals in order to operates HVAC systems and
ventilation in such spaces.
Temperature sensors in chilled water systems control
the pump speed against the load.
Space heat and smoke sensors control the operation of
fire fighting, smoke management and HVAC systems.
BMS
Smoke managements is to pressurize the staircase and
escape paths and exhaust the smoke from the required
space.
In case of fire the elevators have to be stopped and
directions signs should be operate.
In case of electric shut down, the backup system has to
operate the system partially with minimum hazardous
requirements.
