COOLING LOAD ESTIMATION OF AN OFFICE AREA USING CLTDC METHOD FOR IMPROVEMENT OF INDOOR AIR QUALITY

In the modern world air conditioning plays a vital role in energy consumption as well as the indoor air quality of an air conditioning space. To improve the air quality and energy consumption reduction many technologies are advancing but proper cooling load estimation is an inevitable part of air conditioning of a building. There are various methods of cooling load estimation, and CLTDC is one of the such method for efficient determination of quantity of heat inside an air conditioning space. In this work an office area is considered for estimation of heat by using Cooling Load Temperature Differential corrected (CLTDC) method. Here in this work all required parameters for cooling load estimation are taken from ASHRAE guideline. Considering all factors of head addition to the air conditioning space, total cooling load was found to be 12 Tonne of refrigeration.
