Study Notes
Air-Conditioning Fundamentals
- The main function of air-conditioning is to control the temperature, humidity, and air quality in a confined space.
Refrigerants
- R-22, also known as Freon, is a commonly used refrigerant for cooling in mechanical refrigeration.
Properties of Freon (R-22)
- Freon is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic gas.
- It has a boiling point of -40.8°C and a freezing point of -157.4°C.
- Freon is non-corrosive and non-flammable.
Temperature and Air Velocity Recommendations
- The recommended average temperature for summer cooling is around 22-25°C (72-77°F).
- The recommended average temperature for winter cooling is around 18-20°C (64-68°F).
- The recommended average air velocity for air motion in a confined space is around 0.075-0.15 meters per second (0.25-0.5 feet per second).
