Concerned with the poor air quality and high humidity levels in class- rooins, high school officials in Okeechobec, Florida, turned to Carrier for an afforciable sol

The school is now saving enough in energy costs, duc to higher efficiency lcvcls, that thc upgrade will pay for itself in

The MoistureMiser” dehumidi- fication package included in the new system eliminated inany serious building and equipment maintenance problems. And cla

According to Dale Rarrett of Okeechobee County Schools, “The new air conditioning system is exceeding expectations, and our Carrier contractor is right here in the county. Thats what

Outdoor air is seldom free of contaminants, both gaseous and particulate. The source of outdoor air is often limited. Unit ventilators, f

Should a loading dock or cafeteria exhaust discharge be near the intake, or if the intake is close to the ground or roof level, the outdoor air may actually introduce pollutants into the classroom. Thermal Load

27、For all-air systems, the supply air rate must be sufficient to offset the design room sensible heat gain or heat loss. Sensible cooling loads for the air-conditioned classroom dictate a supply air rate typically in the range of 0.8 to 1.2 cfm/f+ 4 to 6 L/ (s.m2 for most systems. The room sensible he

These factors usually run some 5% to 10% lower for occupied interior classrooms and perimeter classrooms without solar heat gain. maximum

29、 room relative humidity under any condition of load depends on the average coil surface temperature. The cooling coil and temperature of the cooling medium are selected to deliver supply air at a temperature cold enough to offset the maximum sensible heat gain. Sufficient moisture removal (latent co

For systems that vary the cooling coil surface temperatures to maintain space tempera- ture (as with a chilled water valve modulating flow to a unit ventilator coil), the relative humidity can

The relative humidity with a variable air volume, constant supply air temperature system increases about five percentage points as sup

Designing for a maximum relative humidity of 60% throughout the full range of cooling load conditions, not just during outdoor design conditions, is an important consi

38、deration. In humid climates, provision for humidity control during unoccupied periods may also be necessary to avoid mold growth. Some systems combine a separately conditioned outdoor ventilation air supply with room units, such as fan coil or water source heat pumps, that provide heating and coolin

39、g of the space. This ventilation air supply can be pre-conditioned to a sufficiently low dew point to accomplish most of the room latent cooling. Accept- able room relative humidity is assured as the space temperature control modulates room unit cooling capacity. Auditoriums, Cafeterias, and Gymnasi

40、ums These spaces have high concentrations of students for short periods of time. The short term demand for outdoor air ventilation is high, often in excess of the supply air rate needed to offset the sensible cooling load. The peak room sensible heat factor is quite low, commonly less than 0.7, but

41、the interior latent load is not sustained. Systems distinct from that for the classrooms are generally prescribed. Constant volume, terminal reheat systems are most often dictated by the thermal and ventilation load characteristics. Energy expensive, yes; but demand-controlled ventilation and priori

42、ty control by either space temperature or humidity can substantially cut that burden. If these spaces are heated and ventilated but not mechanically cooled, the classroom system is in many instances capable of providing for them. Food odors in the cafeteria inhibit recirculation of this air through

43、central systems serving other spaces. If there is an adjacent kitchen, cafeteria supply air can contribute to makeup air for kitchen exhaust.

44、 relatively low ventilation requirement, high sensible heat factor-and are well served by systems suitable for office buildings. Since school offices are in use during the summer, the refrigeration for their cooling should be independent of that serving other spaces not normally occupied during that

45、 season. Commonly, the offices in schools otherwise not air conditioned have unitary air conditioners. System Design Objectives Occupancy characteristics, ventilation, temperature, and humidity control are not the only parameters for selection of school systems. The following other factors are part

46、of the analysis: Indoor Air Quality More than outdoor air ventilation is involved. The total air supplied to a room from a central system dilutes both gaseous and particulate contaminants generated within that room. Conversely, central systems recirculating air can transfer those contaminants, albei

47、t greatly diluted, to other spaces. A few building codes restrict recirculation of air among spaces to prevent this. Mold spores and droplet nuclei containing infectious microbes can be removed from recirculated (and outdoor) air by medium and high efficiency filters. Central air systems can accommo

48、date better filters. Room units, such as unit ventilators and heat pumps, usually cannot. Particulate concentrations in room air are affected by both the degree of filtration and the air circulation rate. Accordingly, constant volume systems are superior to variable air volume or on/off supply air s

49、ystems in this regard. Acoustics The ASHRAE Handbook-Funda- mentah recommends a criterion for classroom sound of NC-30 as an accept- able system noise level for the range of speech communication frequencies. System and equipment selection along with application of sound attenuating techniques are means of limiting HVAC system noise to acceptable levels. Noise from equipment within the classroom, emanating from air outlets or radiating through ceilings, can be disr
