    Calculations - Using Fresh air loads in Design Database

      Product(s): Hevacomp Mechanical Designer
      Version(s): V8i (N/A)
      Environment: N/A
      Area: N/A
      Subarea: N/A

    Overview

    The Design Database package contains a number of calculation modules that allow for the introduction of conditioned air into a space.

    Method

    The available options are:

    • No additional fresh air
    • Fresh air introduced locally to rooms
    • Conditioned primary fresh air
    • Fresh air from central plant with conditioned air    

    These options relate to the following:   

    No additional fresh air

     This option is for conditioning the room locally be means of fan coil units. Fresh air is not being introduced directly into the room, or at the main plant.

    Fresh air introduced locally into rooms

     This option is for local conditioning via fan coils and the introduction of untreated air into the room.The untreated air could be introduced into the fan coil unit, directly into the room, or ceiling void.

    Conditioned primary fresh air

    This option is for local cooling in the room (fan coil units) but also have a fresh air requirement that is being managed by central plant.

    The temperature of the primary fresh air must be specified. You can also set a humidity control for the primary fresh air if desired. The central plant will then be modeled based on the heating/cooling and humidify/dehumidify parameters.

    When considering this option, individual room load results will be affected as the cooling on the primary fresh air will be considered. The plant results will display  the fresh air conditioning loads.

    Fresh air from central plant with conditioned air

    This option is for all the conditioning at central plant with no local cooling. This could either be by recirculation or a full fresh air system. The illustration shows a recirculation system where primary fresh air is mixed with recirculation air then cooled to the defined supply temperature before being introduced to the room. With this option, room loads will not be affected as there is no requirement for local conditioning. The total plant loads will increase to indicate the fresh air load being handled.
