Dry – Bulb Temperature Wet – Bulb Temperature

Dew – Point Temperature Relative Humidity

Humidity Ratio

Dry-bulb Temperature
The temperature of air as registered by on
ordinary temperature.

Wet-bulb Temperature
The temperature registered by a thermometer
whose bulb is covered by a wetted wick and
exposed to a current of rapidly moving air.
Dew point Temperature
The threshold temperature below which the
moisture starts condensing into liquid is called
Dew point Temperature.

Relative Humidity
Ratio of the actual water vapor pressure of the air to
the saturated water vapor pressure of the air at the
same temperature.

Specific Humidity or Moisture Content

The weight of water vapor in grains or pounds of
moisture per pound of dry air.
Saturation Temperature:-
Saturation temperature means boiling point.
The saturation temperature is the temperature for a
corresponding saturation pressure at which a liquid
boils into its vapor phase

Tons Of Refrigeration:-
1 ton of refrigeration is the amount of heat required to melt
a 1000 kg of ice (One ton of ice) in 24 hours.

British Thermal Unit:-

It is the amount of work needed to raise the temperature
of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
1°F
Process of Heat Transfer
Sensible Heat results in a change of
dry-bulb temperature.
Latent heat is associated with the
addition or removal of moisture, or
phase change, for example water
converted to steam.
Convection

Conduction

Radiation
Convection is the transfer of heat by the actual movement of the warmed matter.

Conduction is the transfer of energy through matter from particle to particle.

Radiation Electromagnetic waves that directly transport ENERGY through space.

affecting the building structure the building structure

SUN: PEOPLE:
•Wall •Sensible Heat
•Glass •Latent Heat
•Roof
•Floor, Ceiling, Partition LIGHT:
•Incandescent Lights
AIR: •Florescent Lights
•Ventilation
•Infiltration APPLIANCE:
•Electronic
•Kitchen
The critical inputs and their associated risks discussed in this guide are:
 Design Conditions
o Location
o Latitude
o Elevation
o Outdoor temperature and relative humidity
 Orientation
 Internal conditions
o Indoor temperature and relative humidity
 Building Enclosure
o Insulation levels of walls, ceilings, and floors
o Window specification
o Thermal conductivity
o Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)
o Infiltration and ventilation levels
o Interior and exterior shading
 Internal loads
o Number of occupants
o Electronics, lighting and appliances.
The Basic Formula to Calculate Heat Transfer thru SUN is

Q = U *A * T
Where,
Q - Rate of heat transfer in BTU/Hr,
U - Coefficient of heat transfer,
A - Area through heat transfer in SqFt,
T - Temperature difference in F.

TR- TONS OF REFRIGERATION
CFM- CUBIC FOOT PER MINUTE (or)
L/S – LITRE PER SECOND
Heat Load Calculation
The Heat Load Calculation for other Sources of Heat depends on
 Fresh Air Requirement
(As per No. of People & Building Application)
Residential = 20 CFM/Person; Office = 25 CFM/Person
Air Change per hour:
Residential = 1.5 Times; Hotel = 2; Office = 2
 Infiltration Air
(Thru Doors & Window Cracks)
 Number of Occupants - (As per Client Requirements)
Bedroom = 2 No.s; Offices = As per Workspaces)
 Lighting - (As per Electrical Design)
 Equipment
(As per Electrical Design)
