Winter Air Conditioning System

The conditioning of air during winter season is totally different from summer air conditioning. It is necessary to heat air for comfort condition. But the R.H of the air decreases as it is heated, therefore , it becomes necessary to increase the R.H by humidifying the air. The air conditioning for winters heating and humidifying. The heating of air is generally done in two stages to simplify the controls.

The winter conditions at Aurangabad are 15*C and 70% relative humidity. The required comfort conditions are 24*C and 60% relative humidity.

The air is first passed through air filter to remove dust and then it is passed over heating coil. The temperature of air coming out of heating coil is controlled by the energy input to the coil. Then the air is passed through humidifying chamber where it is humidified with help of water sprays. The air coming of humidifier passed through eliminator to remove the water sprays. The air coming out of the humidifier passed through eliminator to remove the water particles. Then the temperature of air is further increased up to required temperature with help of energy input given to second heating coil. Then the air coming out of heating coil at required condition is supplied to an air - conditioned space.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration System :

Advantages Of Air Refrigeration : 1. The refrigerant used namely air is cheap and easily available. 2. There is no danger of fire or toxic effects due to leakages. 3. The weight to ton of refrigeration ratio is less as compared to other systems. Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration : 1. The quantity of Refrigerant used per ton of refrigeration is high as compared to other systems. 2. The COP of the system is very low. Therefore running cost is high. 3. The danger of frosting at the expander valves is more as the air contains moisture content.

ELECTRICAL COMPARATORS AND ITS WORKING

Electrical Comparators are used as a means of detecting and amplifying small movements of a work contacting elements. An electrical comparator consists essentially of a pick-up head or transducer for converting a displacement into a corresponding change in current and a meter or recorder connected in the circuit to indicate the electrical change, calibrated to show in terms of displacement. Generally, an amplifier is needed to provide the requisite sensitivity and to match the characteristics of different parts of the circuit. Electrical comparators can be classified according to the electrical principle used in the pick-up head. Most of the comparators use either a differential transformer, an inductance bridge, a strain gauge or a capacitor as a means of detecting movement of the gauging element. There are different types of electrical comparators. One kind called an electrolimit gauge is used to check or measure the outside diameter of a roll. The objec...

THROTTLE GOVERNING OF STEAM TURBINES

Steam Pressure at inlet to a steam turbine is reduced by throttling process to maintain the speed of the turbine constant at part load and hence this method of governing is called "Throttle Governing". Construction : Throttle governing system consists of a centrifugal governor, a lever , an oil pump , a pilot piston , control valve , a relay piston and a throttle valve. The throttle valve is moved by a relay piston. The relay piston is actuated by pilot piston control valve. There are two piston valves covering ports in the pilot piston control valve without any overlap. These piston valves are operated by lubricating oil supplied by a gear pump at 2 to 4 bar. The oil returns to the drain from this chamber. Working : When the turbine works on full rated load, the throttle valve will remain open. When the load is decreased, the energy output of the turbine becomes in excess and the turbine shaft speed increases. Hence, governor sleeve will lift. The upward movemen...
