Unfortunately, the utilization of these conventional cooling and air conditioning systems has had detrimental effects on the environment. The generation of electricity from conventional power plants has significantly contributed to the decline of the global environmental wealth, thereby exacerbating the issue of global warming. Furthermore, the usage of such conventional systems has led to elevated levels of CFCs in the environment, resulting in ozone depletion. Moreover, the ever-increasing global population, along with their desire for an enhanced standard of living and the adoption of advanced technologies, has amplified the demand for energy. Consequently, the strain on energy resources has intensified. In traditional vapor compression systems, the same air-handling equipment is responsible for managing both the sensible and latent heat loads within a given room. However, these systems solely regulate the dry-bulb temperature (DBT) of conditioned air, while the control of humidity is treated as a separate aspect of temperature control. Despite the prevalence of high ambient moisture levels in humid climates, there exists no direct regulation over humidity levels in these systems. This inherent constraint in system design leads to the achievement of the desired DBT of conditioned air, but at the cost of the relative humidity falling beyond the range of comfort. Consequently, the lack of humidity control can result in the growth of mold and the pursuit of optimal indoor air quality and thermal comfort via vapor compression air-conditioning systems leads to substantial consumption of electrical energy. Consequently, comfort conditions can only be maintained in traditional systems when the sensible heat ratio (SHR) exceeds 0.75. However, in hot and humid climates, this value can be significantly lower, rendering the typical system incapable of providing optimal comfort conditions. Therefore, due to the requirement of SHR to be greater than 0.75, thermal comfort conditions cannot be adequately achieved in traditional systems. In response to these issues, there has been a growing interest in developing sustainable, energy-efficient cooling and air conditioning technologies that reduce the environmental impact of conventional systems. One such technology is the use of absorption cooling systems, which utilize a heat source such as solar energy or waste heat to drive the cooling process. These systems do not rely on electricity or CFCs, making them environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional cooling systems. Another promising technology is the use of desiccant cooling systems, which remove moisture from the air before cooling it. This allows for better control over humidity levels and can result in more energy- efficient cooling. Additionally, advancements in variable refrigerant flow systems and evaporative cooling technologies are also helping to improve the efficiency and sustainability of cooling systems. Overall, the development of sustainable cooling and air conditioning technologies is crucial in mitigating the environmental impact of conventional systems and reducing the strain on energy resources. By embracing these advancements, we can move towards a more sustainable future while still meeting the growing demand for cooling and air conditioning. One drawback associated with the traditional approach is the release of condensate into the air-conditioned space caused by excessive cooling. Consequently, this can result in elevated humidity levels. On the other hand, a rotating desiccant dehydrator is the main part of desiccant dehumidification and cooling systems. These systems may effectively replenish the desiccant dehumidifier using both electrical energy and low-grade thermal energy sources, including as solar and waste heat. Furthermore, renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, can power the fans and water pump. Page | 3 The decoupling of sensible and latent cooling loads allows this system to operate across a wide range of SHR. Therefore, desiccant-based air conditioning and dehumidification systems have garnered attention for their ability to reduce air humidity and temperature. Consequently, the desiccant cooling system presents itself as a viable, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective alternative to conventional climate control systems. In essence, a desiccant is a hygroscopic substance that either induces or maintains a state of dryness in its immediate vicinity. Desiccants can be natural or synthetic materials that have the capability to absorb or adsorb water vapor due to a difference in the water vapor pressure between the surrounding air and the surface of the desiccant. This drying cooling system not only ensures optimal indoor comfort but also minimizes thermal energy consumption, reduces electricity usage, and facilitates the development of innovative materials to enhance the efficiency of desiccant cooling technology. 1.1 The desiccant integrated cooling system's operation concept. Desiccant cooling systems utilize a variety of drying materials to eliminate moisture from the air via a natural process referred to as sorption. Regenerating the desiccant dehumidifier with these methods is possible even with low-grade thermal energy sources like waste heat and solar radiation. Furthermore, renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, can power the fans and water pump. in Figure 1.1. FIGURE 1.1 The desiccant aided cooling concept in action is shown in. The desiccant combined dehumidification and cooling method for comfort climate control can be classified as liquid or solid, depending on the type of desiccant material utilized.

Another significant factor in lowering the energy usage of traditional cooling systems is solid desiccant. Finding appropriate solid desiccant materials and their effectiveness in desiccant wheels is recommended by the literature review. The choice of desiccant wheel geometry determines the wheel's optimal performance. Based on the aforementioned synopsis, a fascinating research void emerges about the experimental or numerical assessment of the desiccant channel geometry's performance.

(2020): Work Done: Assessed the energy performance of a solar desiccant cooling system in Southern Europe. Outcome: The system was found to be highly efficient in hot and dry climates, demonstrating substantial energy savings and effective humidity control. The current rise in the use 0f conventional energy sources such as heat engines and electricity is largely driven by CFC-based cooling and air conditioning systems for cooling purposes. This reliance on conventional power plants for electricity generation has resulted in substantial harm to our environment, contributing to global warming. The widespread use of these traditional cooling and air conditioning systems has also led to higher levels of environmental CFCs, which in turn have caused ozone depletion. Furthermore, the increasing global population has heightened the demand for energy to support a higher standard of living and the use of advanced technology. In conventional vapor compression systems, both the sensible and latent heat loads of a given space are managed by the same air- handling unit. Currently, the only controlled parameter for conditioned air in these systems is the dry-bulb temperature, with humidity control as a byproduct of temperature regulation. In humid climates, the high ambient moisture levels make it difficult to directly control humidity. As a result of this inherent limitation in system design, the conditioned air can reach the target Dry Bulb Temperature (DBT), but the relative humidity may fall outside of the comfort range. This lack of humidity control can lead to issues such as mold growth and can make it challenging to achieve optimal indoor air quality and thermal comfort using vapor compression air-conditioning systems, which consume a significant amount of electricity. In traditional systems, comfortable conditions can only be achieved when the Sensible Heat Ratio (SHR) is above 0.75. However, this Page | 22 value may be much lower in hot and humid climates, making it difficult to reach optimum comfort levels. Due to the requirement of an SHR greater than 0.75, it can be challenging to meet thermal comfort conditions as well. An additional limitation of the traditional system is the potential for condensate evaporation within the air-conditioned area caused by excessive cooling, leading to elevated humidity levels within the space. The primary component in desiccant dehumidification and cooling systems is a rotary desiccant dehumidifier. These systems can utilize low-grade thermal energy, such as solar or waste heat, to regenerate the desiccant dehumidifier. Renewable energy sources, like solar panels, can be employed to power the fans and water pump. Due to the decoupling of sensible and latent cooling loads, the system can operate efficiently across a wide range of sensible heat ratios (SHR). This makes desiccant-based air dehumidification and air conditioning systems a compelling choice for reducing air humidity and temperature, particularly when incorporating renewable energy sources. As a result, desiccant cooling systems present an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective alternative to traditional climate control systems. A material that attracts moisture and creates a dry environment is known as a desiccant. Desiccants, whether natural or synthetic, have the ability to absorb or adsorb water vapor by exploiting the pressure difference between the surrounding air and the desiccant's surface. This desiccant cooling technology not only ensures optimal indoor comfort but also reduces energy consumption and supports the development of innovative materials for increased efficiency. Overview of Desiccant Cooling Classifica ons Here is a breakdown of the classifications of desiccant cooling systems. Page | 23 The desiccant cooling system offers significant advantages over traditional vapor compression systems in terms of improving indoor air quality, reducing costs and energy consumption, and promoting environmental sustainability. This system utilizes renewable energy sources such as solar energy and industrial waste heat, addressing the growing concerns of energy depletion and environmental degradation on a global scale. Furthermore, its ability to effectively remove pollutants and contaminants while being environmentally friendly positions desiccant cooling as a suitable and timely technology for enhancing indoor air quality. The current review underscores the utilization of cutting-edge desiccant materials that can be recharged at lower temperatures, close to room temperature, as a crucial factor in further enhancing the benefits of desiccant cooling. This will contribute significantly to improving comfort levels, reducing energy consumption, and lowering costs. This research provides valuable insights for new scholars seeking to understand the underlying principles of the system and offers a concise overview of the advancements in this field. Additionally, it highlights the advantages of employing hybrid desiccant cooling cycles, which not only cater to air conditioning requirements but also promote energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. The combination of solid and liquid desiccant cooling systems can achieve high efficiency by utilizing renewable solar heat or industrial waste heat for regeneration. These systems can function independently or be integrated with a VCR air conditioning system. Additionally, the hybrid desiccant cooling and dehumidification process can be connected to traditional vapor compression systems. The desiccant dehumidifier plays a critical role in reducing specific humidity by extracting moisture from the cooling coil, while the refrigerating coil in the VCR system lowers the dry bulb temperature by removing sensible heat from the air. The integration of solar energy to provide reactivation energy in a hybrid desiccant cooling system has ultimately led to a decrease in operating costs. In this system, known as a liquid desiccant cooling system, solar heat or industrial waste heat is utilized to regenerate the weak solution of liquid desiccant material, while the solid desiccant material is regenerated using thermal heat from a conventional electrical heating system. Both sensible cooling coil and supply room air temperatures are kept low during reheating, ensuring the effectiveness of both system types. The main objective of this review is to focus on the development of a liquid and solid dehydration cooling system. By comparing the operating performance parameters of liquid and solid drying systems in various environments, the most suitable system can be selected. The paper evaluated various classifications of hybrid cooling systems which utilize a combination of different cooling elements, regeneration heat sources, and optional operating modes. Specifically, the solid or liquid desiccant cooling system has been designed as an alternative to traditional vapor compression systems in order to reduce high grade electricity consumption. This system takes advantage of solar energy, particularly during peak Page | 24 solar radiation periods in the hot summer season, to enhance overall efficiency by decreasing the amount of heat needed for desiccant regeneration. Study on the Operation of a Liquid Desiccant Cooling System Liquid desiccants have the ability to remove water vapor from process air through mass transfer driven by vapor pressure differentials. Heat is generated when the water vapor is condensed by mixing with the desiccant. The dehumidified air can then be directed to the cabin for ventilation and cooling through the evaporative cooler. Simultaneously, the diluted desiccant solution can be pumped into the regenerator for reactivation. The diluted solution within the regenerator is able to flow through a liquid-liquid-sensitive heat exchanger before entering a thermal spiral that elevates the temperature to produce a hot desiccant solution. Throughout the regeneration process, moisture is extracted from the weak desiccant solution and transferred to the air. Principle of Operation for Solid Desiccant Cooling Systems A desiccant wheel, which usually consists of a gently spinning de-drying wheel, is used in the operation of a solid desiccant cooling system. This technique uses a variety of solid desiccant materials, including zeolite, molecular sieves, silica gel, calcium chloride, titanium silicates, alumina activated (both naturally and artificially), organically-based desiccants, polymers, and compounds. Page | 25 In this procedure, the solid desiccant material functions as an adsorbent in the cooling system by absorbing water vapor from the air. The thermal heater, also known as the heat regenerator, the de-drying wheel, the de-drying rack, and the thermal cooler are the main parts of a desiccant cooling system. Analysis of Solid Desiccant Cooling System Functionality Page | 26  CHAPTER 3 METHODLOGY Page | 27  EVALUATION OF COOLING LOAD The primary goals of conducting a cooling load analysis include: Ensure precise control of temperature, humidity, air purity, and pressurization in order to prevent contamination. Create a comfortable and healthy indoor environment in office buildings, educational facilities, entertainment venues, shopping centers, hotels, and other public spaces. Implement spatial air filtration systems to eliminate bacteria, maintain high indoor air quality, and prevent the spread of contaminants. EVALUATION OF COOLING LOAD The ideal indoor temperature and rela ve humidity levels for most comfort systems are as follows: The office cabin's cooling load is es mated based on indoor design condi ons of 25ºC dry bulb temperature and 50% rela ve humidity. For summer, the desired indoor condi ons are 22.78 ºC to 26.11 ºC with a rela ve humidity of 50%. In contrast, winter indoor condi ons range from 22.11 ºC to 22.22 ºC with a rela ve humidity of 20% to 30%. To determine the outdoor design condi ons, data from the local weather bureau or airport records are used. For BHOPAL city, the outdoor design condi ons for summer (May) are 39.4 ºC with a rela ve humidity of 33%, while for the monsoon season (July) they are 30.7 ºC with a rela ve humidity of 81%. Tables 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 provide geographical, meteorological, and building structure data for the cooling load analysis. Figure 3.1 presents a 3D CAD diagram illustra ng the actual structure of the office cabin.

Page | 32 Component Loading The sum of heat that needs to be eliminated from a space to reach the specified temp. (22-26 °C) The cooling load, also known as the conditioned load, is the amount of relative humidity (49%) produced by the air conditioning system. Heat sources inside and outside the body are included in this. Heat Gains Heat gains in a building can be categorized as external or internal. The movement of thermal energy from external sources into the room is the cause of external heat gains. This can happen as a result of solar radiation entering through windows and doors, ventilation, infiltration, and conduction in external walls, roofs, and the ground.. Internal heat gains, on the other hand, come from sources within the building such as people, electric equipment, and lighting. The figure above illustrates the different components of heat load. Figure 3.2: Components of the load. Heat Transfer via Transparent Surfaces The majority of sensible heat Ioad in a building is attributed to the heat gain through its structure, including walls, floors, ceiling, doors, & windows. This heat transfer is primarily caused by the temp. difference across opaque surfaces. As illustrated in Figure 3, heat from the outside air is predominantly transferred through convection to the outer surface of the structure. Subsequently, the heat is conducted through the structure to the inner surface. From there, the heat is transferred by convection to the room air. Page | 33  Figure 3.3: Analysis of Heat Transfer Across Opaque Surfaces A study on the transfer of heat through opaque surfaces is presented in this figure. The following formula can be used to calculate the rate of heat transfer from outside air to interior air: 𝑸𝑸 = 𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼(𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪) If we let 𝑈𝑈 represent the overall heat transfer coefficient (𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 𝑊𝑊/𝑚𝑚² − °𝐶𝐶), then... The abbreviation CLTD stands for the cooling load temperature difference in degrees Celsius. The variable A represents the surface area and is measured in square meters (m²). The overall heat transfer coefficient (Uo) for the outer walls of an office can be calculated when the wall, floor, or ceiling is comprised of layers of different materials. This can be done using the formula provided in Fig 3.4. By taking into account the thermal conductivity of each material layer, the overall heat transfer coefficient can be determined. This calculation is important for determining the efficiency of insulation in the building envelope and ensuring optimal thermal performance.

Heat transfer between the outside air and outer surface of a wall, as well as between the inner surface and inside air, is equal to the convec on heat transfer. Air velocity influences the air film coefficient, which in turn affects convection heat transmission. Because there is less air movement inside the room, the outside air film coefficient (ho) is higher than the inside air film coefficient (hi). For information on the surface conductance values for the air film, see Table 6. TabIe 5: Air Film Surface or Film Conductance The following table presents data on the conductance of surface or film in air.

Page | 36 3.5 Determination of Cooling Load Temp. Difference (CLTD) The Cooling Load Temp. Difference (CLTD) is the temp. difference that takes into consideration both radiant heat and the actual temperature variance across a wall or ceiling. Based on solar radiation changes typical of the 24°N latitude on July 21, the ASHRAE established CLTD values for exterior walls and roofs. These values took into consideration specific indoor and outdoor air temperature circumstances as well as commonly used building materials in North America. It is significant to note that when the building is not in latitude 77.5°N, especially below 23°N, the accuracy of these CLTD measurements may change. When locating somewhere other than 40°N latitude, the LM correction factor is applied. Since BHOPAL is located at a latitude of 23.25°N, 23°N is used as the latitude where the closest corrected factor value is obtained. You can find the comparable CLTD values for type D walls here. Table 9 provides values for specific latitude, time of year, wall color, temperature difference between outside and inside design conditions, and variation in outside design temperature. These values are based on a mean temperature of 29.4°C, room temperature of 24.5°C, dark surface, and clear sky conditions. For CLTD values for different roof and ceiling types, reference should be made to ASHRAE handbooks. To account for different design conditions, the CLTD values in Table 3.9 must be adjusted before being used in heat transfer equations. The following equation can be utilized for correcting CLTD: 𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪 𝒄𝒄𝒄𝒄𝒄𝒄𝒄𝒄 = (𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪𝑪 + 𝑳𝑳𝑳𝑳 )𝑲𝑲 + (𝟐𝟐𝟐𝟐. 𝟓𝟓 − 𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻 ) + (𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻 − 𝟐𝟐𝟐𝟐. 𝟒𝟒) Where: To = outside design temperature (in °C) Ti = inside design temperature (in °C) LM = latitude month correction from Table 10 K = correction factor based on building color (K = 1 for dark, 0.85 for medium, and 0.65 for light) In cases where walls are thermally heavier than group A walls due to additional insulation, the appropriate corrections should be applied accordingly. Page | 37 Table 7: CLTD for heavier walls In the case where the wall is heavier, Cooling Load Temp. Difference (CLTD) values are provided in Table 9. Table 8: Latitude Month Correction (LM) Value for 23°N Please find below the LM value for the latitude of 23°N as shown in Table 10. Page | 38 3.6 Heat Gain Through Glass Solar radiation passing through glass panels leads to heat gain, as illustrated in Figure 3.5. The heat absorbed by glass surfaces significantly contributes to the cooling system's workload. This heat transfer can be a result of direct sunlight or diffuse radiation reflected from objects outdoors. The amount of heat transmitted through the glass is influenced by factors such as the wavelength of the radiation and the physical and chemical properties of the glass. When radiation hits the glass, some of it is absorbed, some is reflected, and the remainder is transmitted through the material. Heat transfer through glass occurs in two main ways: transmission heat gain and solar heat gain. Mathematical equations are utilized to estimate the heat gain from glass surfaces. Transmission Heat Gain Through Glass The phenomenon of heat gain through glass due to transmission. Q glass =UA(CLTD) corr Based on the given values, with U = 5.636W/m²-K and an area of glass of 2.211m², the Corrected Load Temperature Difference (CLTD) for a 3-hour period from 8:00 am to 11:00 am is calculated to be 1°C. 3.8 Solar Radiation Heat Gain: Q glass =A×SHGF max × SC ×CLF The maximum solar heat gain factor (SHGFmax) is measured in watts per square meter. The shading coefficient (C) varies depending on the type of shading being used. The cooling load factor (CLF) is also a factor to consider in the calculation. Page | 39 The month, direction, and latitude influence the Cooling Load Factor (CLF) and Maximum Solar Heat Gain Factor (Max SHGF). These variables include heat gain energy that is transferred indirectly as well as directly transferred energy. The CLF fluctuates according to the season and orientation. 3.9 Occupant Heat Gain In a cooled environment, the presence of human bodies contributes to the overall cooling load through the release of sensible and latent heat. In a room with air conditioning, the sensible heat emitted by occupants is a result of the temp. difference between their bodies and the room air. The amount of heat gained from occupants is determined by the estimated number of individuals expected to be in the conditioned space. The heat load generated by each person is influenced by their level of activity, with higher levels of activity leading to increased heat gains. The calculation of heat gain from occupants is based on the following equations for sensible heat gains. 𝑄𝑄𝑠𝑠, 𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 = 𝑞𝑞𝑠𝑠, 𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 𝑥𝑥 𝑁𝑁 𝑥𝑥 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 The increase in latent heat caused by the presence of occupants. Q 1person = q l,person x N In the given formula: Qs represents sensible heat gain per person in Wats, Ql represents latent heat gain per person in Wats, N is the total number of individuals in the condi oned space, CLF signifies the cooling load factor. Refer to Table.3.14 for the specified heat gain rates from occupants at varying ac vity levels, considering a room temperature of 25°C. Rate of Heat Gain from Occupant at Conditioned Space TabIe 12 The table displays the rate of heat gain from occupants in the conditioned space in watts. Page | 40 The Cooling Load Factor (CLF) is a factor dependent on the occupants of a space and the time they spend there. In spaces with a high occupant density or when the cooling system is not operating continuously, it equals 1. The human body produces sensible and latent heat, with increased activity levels producing a minor rise in sense heat and a significant increase in latent heat due to increased perspiration. Due to thermal mass effects, people's whole sensible heat rate is not instantly transferred to cooling load; hence, a CLF correction is required. On the other hand, the latent heat is transformed to cooling load right away and doesn't need a CLF correction. Page | 41 3.10: Heat Gain from Lighting Equipment In this section, we will discuss the heat gain resulting from the use of lighting equipment. Electric lights in a space can generate heat equal to the amount of power consumed. The heat gained from electric lighting depends on factors such as the light's wattage, use factor, and allowance factor. A rough estimate for lighting load in an office space is 33.5 𝑊𝑊/𝑚𝑚2 to achieve a standard of 540 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙/𝑚𝑚2. To calculate the heat gain from electric lighting, one can use the formula 𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸 = 𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻 𝒘𝒘𝒘𝒘𝒘𝒘𝒘𝒘𝒘𝒘𝒘𝒘𝒘𝒘 𝒐𝒐𝒐𝒐 𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍 𝒙𝒙 𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼 𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇 𝒙𝒙 𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨 𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇. The ratio of installed wattage to actual wattage is known as the utilization factor, varying depending on room type. It's typically unity in residential, commercial, and shop settings, and below 0.5 in industrial workshops. The allowance factor is 1.25.

Heat Gain Through Wall The heat gain through an exposed wall can be calculated using the formula: Qexposed wall (SE) = UA(CLTD)corrected Subs tu ng the values, we get: Qexposed wall (SE) = 1.069 x 4.653 x 22.5 = 111.91W Heat Gain Through Glasses of Par on Wall During summer and monsoon, the heat gain through the glasses of the par on wall can be significant. Considering an average annual temperature of 33ºC for BHOPAL city, it is crucial to take into account these factors when calcula ng the total heat gain in a building. Page | 45  Heat gain through glass par ons from the southwest (SW) direc on can be calculated using the formula: Qglass (SW) = Uglass sheet x Aglass par on x(To-Ti), where Uglass sheet is 3.97, Aglass par on is 1.068, To is 33°C, and Ti is 25°C. Subs tu ng the values, we get Qglass (SW) = 3.97 x 1.068 x (33-25) = 33.91 W. Similarly, heat gain through glass par ons from the northeast (NE) direc on is calculated using the same formula, resul ng in Qglass (NE) = 33.91 W. For glass par ons in the northwest (NW) direc on, accoun ng for the door area, the heat gain can be calculated by the formula: Qglass (NW) = Uglass sheet x Aglass par on x(To-Ti), yielding Qglass (NW) = 33.91 W. The total heat gain through glass par ons on the par on walls can be calculated by adding the heat gains from SW, NE, and NW direc ons: Qglass par on = Qglass (SW) + Qglass (NE) + Qglass (NW) = 33.91 + 33.91 + 33.91 = 101.73 W. The heat gain through the wood section of the partition walls can be calculated by using the formula 𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸 = 𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼 𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔 𝒙𝒙 𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨 𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑 𝒙𝒙(𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻 − 𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻), where Uwood sheet is the overall heat transfer coefficient for the wood, Awood partition is the surface area of the wood section, To is the outside temperature, and Ti is the inside temperature. For the heat gain through the wood section of the partition wall facing the southwest (SW) direction, the calculation is as follows: Qwoods (SW) = 1.037 x 1.068 x (33-25) = 8.860 W Similarly, for the heat gain through the wood section of the partition wall facing the northeast (NE) direction: Qwoods (NE) = 1.037 x 1.068 x (33-25) = 8.860 W And for the heat gain through the wood section of the partition wall facing the northwest (NW) direction: Qwoods (NW) = 1.037 x 1.068 x (33-25) = 8.860 W To determine the total heat gain through the wood sheet of the partition walls, we add up the heat gains from each direction: Qwood partition = Qwoods (SW) + Qwoods (NE) + Qwoods (NW) = 8.860 + 8.860 + 8.860 = 26.58 W. Calculation of Heat Gain Through Aluminium Section of Partition Wall The heat gain through the aluminium section of the partition wall can be calculated by adding the heat gain from the various sections of the aluminium material. This can be expressed as: QAluminium section = QAluminium section (SW) + QAluminium section (NE) + QAluminium section (NW) By substituting the values: QAluminium section = 3 x (UAluminium section x AAluminium section x (To – Ti)) QAluminium section = 3 x (1.13 x (4 x (0.08 x 2.30)) x (33 - 25)) QAluminium section = 3 x (1.13 x 0.736 x 8) QAluminium section = 19.96 W Page | 46 Therefore, the total heat gain through the wall can be determined by adding the heat gains from the various partition walls: 𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟ℎ 𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤 = 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟ℎ 𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤 (𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆) + 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟ℎ 𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤 (𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆) + 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟ℎ 𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤 (𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁) + 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟ℎ 𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤 (𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁) = 111.91 + 101.73 + 26.58 + 19.96 = 𝟐𝟐𝟐𝟐𝟐𝟐. 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏 𝑾𝑾 In conclusion, the total heat gain through the wall is calculated to be 260.16W. 𝒃𝒃) 𝑇𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟ℎ 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑒 𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 𝑢𝑢𝑢𝑢𝑢𝑢𝑢𝑢𝑢𝑢 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑒 𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸𝑸 = 𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼 𝒙𝒙 𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨 𝒙𝒙 (𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻 − 𝑻𝑻𝑻𝑻), 𝑤𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈𝑈 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑒 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 𝑡𝑡𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑒 𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓, 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑒 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑒 𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓, 𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑒 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡. , 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 𝑡𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑒 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡.

For instance, with A = 2.211 m2, SHGFmax = 729 W/m2, SC = 0.14, and CLF = 0.87, the calculation would be: Qglass = 2.211 x 729 x 0.14 x 0.87 Page | 47 Qglass = 196.31 W Please note that the shading coefficient depends on the type of shading, and CLF is the cooling load factor.
