Design of HVAC system of MOUSA
Tower In Saudi- Arabia
Father of Air-conditioning
Introduction
• HVAC means Heating, Ventilation and
Air-conditioning.
Ventilation
• Ventilation is one of the most significant parts of a building’s energy
consumption.
• Ventilation brings fresh air from outside to inside. Impurities are then
removed from the inside air.
• Impurities:
– Carbon dioxide, moisture, dust, toxins, allergens, smoke from kitchen
– Discharges from building materials and furniture.
• Deficient ventilation causes:
– Stuffiness, smells
– Increased carbon dioxide - headache and exhaustion
– Moisture condensation – moisture damage
– Favourable habitat for microbes
• The air must move freely between different rooms
– Remember threshold gaps, keep doors open,…
Ventilation Types
1. Natural .
2. Mechanical.
HVAC design Goal
Reach Comfort zone.
• Temperature Range (22o C to 27o C ).
• RH Range (40% to 60%).
HVAC Systems Types
1. Direct Expansion system(DX).
Window AC.
Split unit.
Package unit.
2. Chilled water system.
Air cooled chiller.
Water cooled chiller.
Mousa Tower design procedure
1. Outside conditions.
• Dry-Bulb Temperature=44o C
• RH = 28%
Design Condition For our project
• Dry-Bulb Temperature=23o C
• RH = 50%
2. Understand The building Architect
drawing and its application
• Commercial office building.
This step important for first estimation of
HVAC system (DX OR Chilled water).
