Add Cooling Coils to AHUs

Add Cooling Coils to AHUs

Function

Cooling: A cooling coil reduces the temperature of the air passing through it by means of a cooling fluid, usually cold water or refrigerant.

Humidity Control: Reduces air temperature while removing some of the moisture, thus regulating indoor humidity.

Comfort Enhancement: Enhances the comfort of a living or working environment by providing the proper temperature and humidity.

Design Considerations

Coil Type.

Water Cooled Coil: Uses cooling water as the refrigerant and is suitable for large systems.

Refrigerant Coil: Uses refrigerant and is suitable for small or split systems.

Coil Size: Select the appropriate size based on the AHU design and air flow requirements to ensure effective heat exchange.

Flow Control: Ensure proper flow and pressure of cooling fluid for optimal performance.

Material Selection: Aluminum or copper materials are typically used to improve thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Installation Considerations

Location: Ensure that the cooling coil is positioned to minimize airflow resistance and is compatible with other AHU components.

Maintenance Space: Consider ease of future maintenance at the time of installation, allowing sufficient space for cleaning and inspection.

Connections: Ensure that the cooling water or refrigerant inlet and outlet piping are well connected to avoid leaks.

Applications

Commercial buildings: Offices, shopping malls, etc. where good temperature control is required.

Industrial facilities: Production environments that require strict temperature and humidity control.
