Source of heat transfer for cooling
One of the tasks of the air
conditioning system is to adjust the temperature of the place it supplies
by applying the most appropriate ventilation method. In order to reduce the
ambient temperature to the set value, the water temperature is reduced to 5-12
°C by cooling system. Until the temperature of the air achieve to the set value
the chilled water continues to pass through the cooling coil in the
air handling unit. Marine Engineer is responsible to ensure the efficient and
effective operation of all system elements that take place in producing chilled
water between 5-7 °C and circulating in the cooling coils. He/she must set
the correct operating values, make necessary adjustments, calibrate
all sensors, monitor, analyze and define the operating values, make
decision for correction and apply whenever necessary. A
typical air-conditioning system, consists of main components and the
connections made to the air handling units (AHU) for revitalization of the
circulated air, is represented with the image below.
