Preface
The project work may be defined as the outcome of our
theoretical and practical knowledge experiences and our
responsibilities from past three years. After entering tour
mechanical department we have studied third fourth fifth and
presently we are doing sixth semester. The idea, which we got
in these four practical classes, we exactly apply them all to do
a project. However a single man lone cannot do a project
when we form a group difference student will give different
idea, accordingly we can have some good idea. By applying
that we can successfully complete our project.
We may have a lot more advantage when doing a project,
now a day if a student go for an interview in any industry then
the first question for him from the interview committee is ,
what type of project work have you done in the mini project
work? This will be definitely on that time the student can
explain the project work very well and he can also win a
opportunity.
So the student should have got the knowledge simply
saying the project work is THE MUST for every student.
Hence we express our sincere gratitude to our
ANNA UNIVERSITY CHENNAI for providing a
paper on DESIGN AND FABRICATION PROJECT on the
sixth semester.

OBJECTIVES
The prolong convection of covering of vast syllabus in the short span of
time resulted in lack of knowledge of technical knowledge and unaware of
modern mechanics and versatile application.
So in order to revise this situation and have clear knowledge of
modern mechanics and machine tools, project work has been taken.
The project work resulted in requiring well defined in requiring well
defined knowledge about the machine tools mechanisms and their veracity.
The project work includes the physical and mental coordination of
individual. The project work is taken mainly with the objectives mentioned
below:

The project work differs the regular practical exercise, where

emphasis is laid only in developing the skill in different machine
process.
But it is a project apart from the skills, planning of the project in
specified time is involved.
Analysis and discussion on scheme the project work enable the
students to develop interest and motivation and make them
confident of the success in their endeavour hoping the above the
points in minds.
It evolves out the concept of group activity.
It further promotes co-operation , co-ordination and ability of an
individual.
Thus by analysis various projects and by applying the above
concepts, we carried out our project of VERTICAL AIRCONDITIONER WITH 360 VERTICAL AIR FLOW.

We ourselves planned, organised and executed to bring out this project a

successful one. Now we feel the sense of achievement after our successful of
our superior project VERTICAL AIR-CONDITIONER WITH 360
VERTICAL AIR FLOW.

ABSTRACT
Heat as always been a problem in every country such as India.
Doing work in a hot summer day can be tiring and are prone to make silly and
unwanted mistakes. A proper air conditioner would be good item to have during
these times. When doing work or event, the place could become stuffy and
uncomfortable for technician or engineer. However, air conditioners are mostly
marketed as fix and hard to change places portable air conditioners are dime a
dozen but somehow are very expensive to have. In this project, we aim to make
a portable air conditioner that is affordable and reliably cool small confined for
a limited amount of time and space.

1. INTRODUCTION
VERTICAL AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
Portable air conditioner is an innovation product originally from
standard air conditioner that is limited to be used in room or inside building .
Then, it is design to make it easier to move from one place to another. This
product is design looks like a decoration tree which people mostly use it as an
decoration in outdoor event such as wedding and talk.
As we all notice that India has a tropical rainforest climate due to
its proximity to the equator. It is hot and humid country all year round, with an
average temperature of 27 C (80.6 F) and almost no variability in the yearly
temperature. Mostly Indians are finding a way to get comfort especially during
day event. This vertical air conditioner can help them to produce comfortable
environment in the hot day. Besides, they do not have to depend to conventional
fan that still producing warm air but this portable will give cold air same as
normal air conditioner that in close room.

2. CONSTRUCTION AND COMPONENTS

The whole construction of this system is simple and efficient. The
arrangement and position of components make this system of to function. Each
and every component has its own property and responsibility. To obtain a
circular cooling the evaporator coil is designed accordingly. the condenser unit
is used for effective cooling. Construction of proposed VERTICAL AIRCONDITIONER WITH 360 VERTICAL AIR FLOW consists of four
components. They are,
1. Compressor
2. Condenser
3. Expansion valve
4. Evaporator coil
5. Blower

2.1 Compressor
AC compressor is the workhorse of the system and is driven by
your cars engine via a series of belts and pulleys. Its function is to transfer and
compress gas from the low-pressure (intake) side of the ac system to the high
pressure (discharge) side of the closed system. The ac compressor draws the
refrigerant (while in gas state) from the ac evaporator, where it has gathered
heat from your vehicle interior. It then compresses the gas refrigerant under
high-pressure and send it off to the ac condenser. Once the hot compressed gas
enters the condenser, it begins to cool and expel heat as it travel towards the
bottom of the ac condenser where it has reverted back to a cool liquid state. The
cooled liquid gas then begins its journey back toward the ac evaporator. This
gives a general idea (oversimplified) how the process works.

FIG.2.1

2.2 Condenser
The ac condenser and your cars radiator often look quite
similar in appearance. The compressor of the car generates compressed gas and
sends it along to the top of the condenser, where the gas begin to cool. The gas
continues to cool and condense as it makes it way through the serpentine-like
coil arrangements, before exiting the bottom of the condenser as a high-pressure
liquid. The condenser is usually located in front of your cars radiator.

Fig 2.2

2.3Expansion valve
Expansion valves regulate the amount of liquid refrigerant
flowing from the condenser to the evaporator based upon the evaporator
pressure. A thermal expansion valve will include a temperature sensor and
meters the amount of refrigerant flowing into the evaporator.

Fig 2.3

2.4 Evaporator
The ac evaporator serves in multiple capacities, but its
function is to absorb heat which may have built up on a hot day inside your
cars interior. The evaporator contains cold Freon gas. The cold Freon gas
passes through the evaporator and makes the evaporator very cold. The ac
blower fan is located behind the evaporator and blows air across it and that cold
air travels through the dash duct work and out the vents inside the car. The
water you see dripping from under the passenger side of the car is coming from
condensation at the evaporator core, and is a result of the AC system doing his
job.

Fig 2.4

2.5 AC Blower motor

The ac blower motor works in conjunction with the
evaporator to remove heat and cool your vehicle interior. He is usually located
underneath the dash and connected to ducting where it pulls-in the warm air
from the interior and pushes it across the cool coils and fins of the evaporator
and send the cold air back to the cars interior.

Fig 2.5

CHAPTER-3
WORKING PRINCIPLE
In the Vertical Air conditioner, heat is transported from a
colder location to a hotter area. As heat would naturally flow in the opposite
direction, work is required to achieve this. A refrigerator is an example of such
a system, as it transports the heat out of the interior and into its environment.
The refrigerant is used as the medium which absorbs and removes heat from the
space to be cooled and subsequently rejects that heat elsewhere.
Circulating refrigerant vapour enters the compressor and is
compressed to a higher pressure, resulting in a higher temperature as well. The
hot, compressed refrigerant vapour is now at a temperature and pressure at
which it can be condensed and is routed through a condenser. Here it is cooled
by air flowing across the condenser coils and condensed into a liquid. Thus, the
circulating refrigerant removes heat from the system and the heat is carried
away by the air.
The condensed and pressurized liquid refrigerant is next
routed through an expansion valve where it undergoes an abrupt reduction in
pressure. That pressure reduction results in flash evaporation of a part of the
liquid refrigerant, lowering its temperature. The cold refrigerant is then routed
through the evaporator. A fan blows the warm air (which is to be cooled) across
the evaporator, causing the liquid part of the cold refrigerant mixture to
evaporate as well, further lowering the temperature. The warm air is therefore
cooled.
To complete the refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant vapor is
routed back into the compressor.

FABRICATION

The operation we used in fabrication process are,

1. Fitting
2. Welding
3. Grinding
4. Drilling
5. Cutting
6. Painting

4.1 Cutting
An abrasive saw, also known as a cut-off saw or metal chop saw,
is a power tool which is typically used to cut hard materials, such as metals. The
cutting action is performed by an abrasive disc, similar to a thin grinding wheel.
Technically speaking this is not a saw, as it does not use regularly shaped edges
(teeth) for cutting. The abrasive saw generally has a built-in vise or other
clamping arrangement, and has the cutting wheel and motor mounted on a
pivoting arm attached to a fixed base plate.

ABRASIVE SAW

4.2 Grinding
Grinding is an abrasive machining process that uses a grinding wheel as
the cutting tool.
A wide variety of machines are used for grinding:

Hand-cranked knife-sharpening stones (grindstones)

Handheld power tools such as angle grinders and die grinders

Various kinds of expensive industrial machine tools called grinding

machines
Bench grinders often found in residential garages and basements

FIG 4.2.GRINDING

4.3 Welding
Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials,
usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing fusion, which is distinct from
lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as brazing and soldering,
which do not melt the base metal. In addition to melting the base metal, a filler
material is often added to the joint to form a pool of molten material (the weld
pool) that cools to form a joint that can be as strong, or even stronger, than the
base material.
Some of the best known welding methods include:

Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) - also known as "stick welding or

electric welding", uses an electrode that has flux around it to protect the weld
puddle. The electrode holder holds the electrode as it slowly melts away.
Slag protects the weld puddle from atmospheric contamination.
Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) - also known as TIG (tungsten, inert
gas), uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The
weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding
gas such as argon or helium.
Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) - commonly termed MIG (metal, inert
gas), uses a wire feeding gun that feeds wire at an adjustable speed and flows
an argon-based shielding gas or a mix of argon and carbon dioxide (CO2)
over the weld puddle to protect it from atmospheric contamination.
Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) - almost identical to MIG welding
except it uses a special tubular wire filled with flux; it can be used with or
without shielding gas, depending on the filler.
Submerged arc welding (SAW) - uses an automatically fed consumable
electrode and a blanket of granular fusible flux. The molten weld and the arc
zone are protected from atmospheric contamination by being "submerged"
under the flux blanket.
Electro slag welding (ESW) - a highly productive, single pass welding
process for thicker materials between 1 inch (25 mm) and 12 inches (300
mm) in a vertical or close to vertical position.

12

4.3.1 Arc Welding

Arc welding is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to

create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt the
metals at the welding point. They can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC)
current, and consumable or non-consumable electrodes. The welding region is
usually protected by some type of shielding gas, vapour, or slag. Arc welding
processes may be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated.

4.3.1. ARC WELDING

13

TYPES OF ARC WELDING ARE

1.COATED ELECTRODE ARC WELDING
2.INERT GAS WELDING
3.CORED WIRE ARC WELDING
4.TIG WELDING

COATED ELECTRODE ARC WELDING

Coated electrode arc welding is a manual arc welding
method where the heat necessary for the welding is generated by the arc formed
between a coated wasting electrode and the workpiece. Electrode's tip, welding
bath, arc and the areas of the work piece near to the welding machine are
protected against the hazardous impact of the atmosphere by the gases formed
as a result of burning and separation of the coating material. The slag formed by
the melted coating material provides additional protection for the melted
welding metal in welding bath. The additional metal (filler metal) is supplied by
the core wire of the wasting electrode and the metal dust in electrode coating in
some electrodes.

INERT GAS WELDING

Inert gas welding is an arc welding method where the heat
necessary for the welding is generated by the arc formed between a wasting
electrode and the work piece. The solid wire electrode continuously supplied to
(applied on) the welding area is melted and consumed, forming the welding
metal. The electrode, welding bath, arc and the areas of the work piece near to
the welding machine are protected against the hazardous impact of the
atmosphere by the gas or mixed gas supplied from the welding torch. The gas
should be able to fully protect the welding area, otherwise a very small air
ingression causes errors on the welding metal

14

CORED WIRE ARC WELDING

Arc welding with cored wire is an arc welding method
where the heat necessary for the welding is generated by the arc formed
between a wasting cored wire electrode and the work piece. The protection of
arc and welding area is provided by the gases formed as a result of burning and
separation of the elementary substance in the cored wire or by an externally
supplied protective gas as is the case in inert gas welding. The self-protected
(open, arc based welding wires) welding process is rather similar to the gas
protection in coated electrode welding method. The coating material on coated
electrodes causes production of flat bar shaped electrodes and the length
restrictions. In cored wires, , since the tubular wire is within the electrode, and
may be supplied to the continuous welding area. This welding method may be
applied for both semi-automatic and full-automatic welding systems. The
disadvantage of welding with cored wire is that a slag layer, which is similar to
that in coated electrode arc welding but is a little thinner, is formed on the weld
bead. However, many types of cored wire electrodes that don't require slag
removal or don't generate slag are being manufactured today

TIG WELDING
It is an arc welding method where the heat necessary for the
welding is generated by the arc formed between a non-wasting electrode
(tungsten electrode) and the work piece. The electrode, welding bath, arc and
the areas of the work piece near to the welding machine are protected against
the hazardous impact of the atmosphere by the gas or mixed gas supplied from
the welding torch. The gas should be able to fully protect the welding area,
otherwise a very small air ingression causes errors on the welding metal.

SUBMERGED WELDING
Submerged welding is an arc welding method where the
heat necessary for the welding is generated by the arc(s) formed between a
15

wasting electrode (or several electrodes) and the work piece. The arc area
welding powder layer as well as the welding metal and base metal close to the
weld are protected by the melted welding powder (slag). In submerged welding
the electricity flows through the arc and the welding bath consisting of melted
metal and melted slag. The arc heat electrode forms the welding bath that fills
up the welding bend by melting the melting powder and base metal. The
welding powder acting as a protective element also reacts with the welding bath
and deoxidizes the welding metal. The welding powders used for welding the
alloy steels may contain alloy elements that compensate the chemical
composition of welding metal. Submerged welding is an automatic welding
method. In some submerged arc welding applications two or more electrodes
may be concurrently fed into the welding bend. The electrodes may be fed into
the welding bath as a twin arc or may be successively fed with a distance
sufficient to ensure that the welding baths are individually hardened and thereby
a high welding speed and high metal accumulation speed may be obtained.

4.4-DRILLING
Drilling is the operation of producing circular hole in the work-piece by
using a rotating cutter called DRILL.
The machine used for drilling is called drilling machine.
The drilling operation can also be accomplished in lathe, in which the
drill is held in tailstock and the work is held by the chuck.
The most common drill used is the twist drill.

Drilling Machine
It is the simplest and accurate machine used in production shop.
The work piece is held stationary i.e. Clamped in position and the drill
rotates to make a hole.

Multi-spindle

2) Based on Feed:
Hand driven
Power driven
Components of drilling machine
Spindle
The spindle holds the drill or cutting tools and revolves in a fixed position
in a sleeve.
Sleeve
The sleeve or quill assembly does not revolve but may slide in its bearing
in a direction parallel to its axis. When the sleeve carrying the spindle with a
cutting tool is lowered, the cutting tool is fed into the work: and when its
moved upward, the cutting tool is withdrawn from the work. Feed pressure
applied to the sleeve by hand or power causes the revolving drill to cut its way
into the work a fraction of an mm per revolution.
Column
The column is cylindrical in shape and built rugged and solid. The
column supports the head and the sleeve or quill assembly.

Head
The head of the drilling machine is composed of the sleeve, a spindle, an
electric motor and feed mechanism. The head is bolted to the column.
17

Worktable
The worktable is supported on an arm mounted to the column. The
worktable can be adjusted vertically to accommodate different heights of work
or it can be swung completely out of the way. It may be tilted up to 90 degree in
either direction, to allow long pieces to be end or angle drilled.

Base
The base of the drilling machine supports the entire machine and when
bolted to the floor, provides for vibration-free operation and best machining
accuracy. The top of the base is similar to the worktable and may be equipped
with t- slot for mounting work too large for the table.
Hand Feed
The hand- feed drilling machines are the simplest and most common type
of drilling machines in use today. These are light duty machine that are operated
by the operator, using a feed handled, so that the operator is able to feel the
action of the cutting tool as it cuts through the work piece. These drilling
machines can be bench or floor mounted.
Power feed
The power feed drilling machine are usually larger and heavier than the
hand feed ones they are equipped with the ability to feed the cutting tool in to
the work automatically, at preset depth of cut per revolution of the spindle these
machines are used in maintenance for medium duty work or the work that uses
large drills that require power feed larger work pieces are usually clamped
directly to the table or base using t bolts and clamps by a small work places are
held in a vice. A depth stop mechanism is located on the head, near the
spindle, to aid in drilling to a precise depth.

Radial Drilling Machine

It the largest and most versatile used for drilling medium to large and
heavy work pieces.
18

 Radial drilling machine belong to power feed type.

The column and radial drilling machine supports the radial arm, drill head
and motor. Fig.3 shows the line sketch of radial drilling machine.

4.4.1 Radial Drilling Machine

The radial arm slides up and down on the column with the help of
elevating screw provided on the side of the column, which is driven by a
motor.
The drill head is mounted on the radial arm and moves on the guide ways
provided the radial arm can also be swivelled around the column.
The drill head is equipped with a separate motor to drive the spindle,
which carries the drill bit. A drill head may be moved on the arm
manually or by power.
Feed can be either manual or automatic with reversal mechanism.
Drilling operations
Operations that can be performed in a drilling machine are

Drilling

Reaming

Boring

Counter boring

Countersinking

Tapping
Drilling:

19

It is an operation by which holes are produced in solid metal by means of

revolving tool called Drill. Fig. 9 shows the various operations on drilling
machine.
Reaming:
Reaming is accurate way of sizing and finishing the pre-existing hole.
Multi tooth cutting tool. Accuracy of 0.005mm can be achieved
Boring:
Boring is a process of enlarging an existing hole by a
single point cutting tool. Boring operation is often preferred because we can
correct hole size, or alignment and can produce smooth finish. Boring tool is
held in the boring bar which has the shank. Accuracy of 0.005mm can be
achieved

4.5 Fitting
Fitting is the assembly of components to the frame and removing
metals to secure the necessary fits and may or may not be carried out at the
bench

4.6 painting
Painting is the process of preventing oxidation of top layer of
surface by applying paint or pigment or colour or another medium.

11. CONCLUSION
It reduces the cost of air conditioning compare to normal air
conditioner. It is efficient for cooling in small area. Initial cost of its installation
is high. We got lot of knowledge regarding our field which is not available in
the book. We learnt how to work in team by dividing the load and work with
team spirit. This project is just a beginning and this can be researched in future
according to need.

Thus all the above features turned out our VERTICAL AIRCONDITIONER WITH 360 VERTICAL AIR FLOW as a superior and
successful project.
