Executive Summary:

This Thesis presents a case study of The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center. This

building will be located in Sarasota, Florida and is currently under construction. The analysis that will

be done using this building is an analysis on a two mechanical redesigns an acoustical analysis and a

lighting analysis.

The first mechanical redesign evaluated was the use of these is Energy Recovery Wheels. With in this

topic Desiccant Wheels and Enthalpy Wheels were analyzed. It was determined that this building

does not provide the characteristics that make Desiccant Wheels applicable. Enthalpy Wheels proved

to work better and provide a reasonable payback period. The wheels will save on average $3275 in

energy a year.

The Second is Thermal Storage. Within this topic two alternatives will again be looked at; Partial

Storage and Load Leveling. A greater kilowatt demand was able to be shifted using partial storage.

The system could say approximately $42,000 a year in energy. The first cost of the system was too

high to make the alternative worthwhile though. Load Leveling provided a way to shift kilowatt

demand at a lower first cost. This system could save approximately $13,740 in energy a year.

However, this alternative also proved to have too high of a payback period to make it worthwhile too.

Lastly, after both thermal storage systems failed to provide adequate payback periods a third

alternative was looked at for the chiller plant. This was to use three smaller chillers opposed to two

large chillers. This proved to provide a better overall efficiency for the system as well as a reduced

first cost. This system would save around $8,000 in energy costs per year and $96,500 in first cost

The acoustic breadth took a look at reverberation times in the Library area as well as sound

transmission thru the partition. Two rooms had reverberation times too high. Using Echo Eliminators

was recommended to fix these rooms.

The Lighting breadth looked at using direct/indirect fixtures in the classrooms, as well as daylighting

lamps. After researching daylight lamps it was determined that daylight lamps at 5000K are still too

bright and make people feel uncomfortable. It was recommended to use lamps at 4100K with a high

CRI (85).

1--Project Background

Location- Sarasota, Florida

Sarasota Florida is located approximately 60 miles south of Tampa. It is a high tourist area with

rolling white-sand beaches and sparkling azure waters. It is a city of sophistication and charm.

Sarasota began attracting wealthy Americans in the 1910's and still does today. John Ringling,

of Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus fame, made an influential mark on the

community of Sarasota. In the 1920s John Ringling and his wife Mable, built an outstanding

Venetian-style estate on Sarasota Bay named Cà d' Zan. Then they built an art museum for their

collection of works. The art museum contains work by Peter Paul Rubens and other 17th-

century Italian and Flemish art. In addition, John used his circus elephants to help build the first

bridge from the mainland to St. Armands Key, which he developed as a commercial and

residential center.

The circus' winter quarters were moved to Sarasota in 1927, thus creating a new identity for

Sarasota as a "circus town." Now Sarasota is known as the "Circus Capitol of the World" and is

home to many circuses. In 1949, the gymnastics program at Sarasota High School was expanded

to include circus acts and the Sarasota Sailor Circus was born. Sarasota County is the only public

school system in the United States that sponsors an after school youth circus program known as

the Sailor Circus and is also home to Ringling's Clown College.

Building Overview

The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center is located on the Ringling Campus.

It is a 73,000 square foot building with a 23,000 square foot parking garage located on the

ground floor. The building contains a large art lab that will be used to restore art work for the

campus museum as well as restore famous pieces of art from all over the world. The building

also contains a large art library and classrooms that will be used by the general public as well as

the Florida State University. Lastly the building contains an area of offices. The Florida State

University has a large art program, mainly due to John Ringling and his influence in the area.

Building Systems

Structural

The building is a three story concrete structure. It will have pour concrete columns on which

will rest precast concrete sofit beams. 28 inch deep precast concrete joists, with ribs spaced five

foot on center, rest on the sofit beams. The floor is concrete that is poured onto the joists. The

lateral system of the building is a braced steel frame. The roof is a standing seem metal roof that

is made up of 30K12 steel joists placed five foot on center.

Pour Concrete Floor and Girder (Monolithic)

Electrical

The building has a 2000 amp, 480/277, 3 phase, 4 wire system. It contains 8 step down

transformers that are used to transform the voltages to 208Y/120. The building lighting consists

of various systems in the differing building functions. In the library area there are recessed

fluorescent lamps. The lobbies have recessed compact fluorescent downlights. The classrooms

have 2’x 2’—2 lamp parabolic louvered fluorescents. The art storage areas have 4’—2 lamp

industrial strip fixtures. Finally, the conservation lab has 8’—2 lamp direct/indirect pendant

fluorescents.

Telecommunications

The telecommunications design calls for telephone outlets to be located in most of the spaces,

especially in the offices and classrooms. Television cable and data cable serve most of the

common rooms, especially those used for group instruction.

Special Features

The building contains a few unique features. The lobby areas and elevators where designed to

easy fit large pieces of art work through. The art conservation lab contains a unique self

balancing system containing multiple fume hood exhausts and snokel exhausts. The snokel

exhausts are movable slinky like exhausts that hang from the ceiling and can be used at the work

stations throughout the room or pushed aside when not needed.

2--Existing Conditions

Overview of System

The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center serves the general public as well as

the Florida State University. The buildings main functions are: an art library, art classrooms, art

storage and an art conservation lab. Florida Power and Light will serve the buildings electricity

needs. The building is purely electric; there is currently no natural gas in the design.

The main system design is a Variable Air Volume (VAV) system. Forty-four VAV boxes are

served by eight air handling units which supply up to a total of 50,790 cubic feet per minute

(cfm) of air to the building. All of the air handling units are draw thru. The units are fed off of a

chiller loop that serves the entire Ringling Campus. Three of the units are constant volume,

three are variable air volume and two of them are variable air volume dual path. Heat for the

building is done by electric duct heaters for areas on constant volume air handlers and by

terminal electric reheat on the boxes for areas served by variable air volume air handlers. The air

handlers that serve areas that contain art work have steam humidifiers incase they are need to

meet the critical spaces humidity condition.

Schedule of Operation

Library: September-April Monday-Sunday 7am – 9pm May-August Monday-Sunday 7am – 6pm All other Areas: Monday-Sunday 7am – 5pm The building operates all year long but is closed on all national holidays.

General Design

Type of System The main system chosen for this design was a Variable Air Volume (VAV) system. This system

was chosen for its ability to provide individualized temperature control. Control of the

temperature in this building was crucial in the design process due to the art work that will reside

in the building. This factor played a more crucial roll in the design process than energy

considerations.

Diffusers and Grilles Most areas of the building contain a drop ceiling. In areas where a drop ceiling exists flexible

duct was used as the last five feet of run out to the diffusers. The art storage areas do not have

Page 11: The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center · Ringling Museum of Art Sarasota, Florida Lighting/Electrical Systems • Main Distribution: – 2000 Amps, 480/277V, 3PH,

ceilings. These rooms are hard ducted out to the diffusers. Most rooms in the building contain

2’ by 2’ diffusers and returns. In the section of the library that is open two stories sidewall

diffusers where used. Also in the main lobby area the architect specified sidewall diffusers for

aesthetical purposes.

Acoustics Acoustics in this building were not a large concern. General precautions (outlined by ASHRAE)

were taken to reduce the sound transmission. Mechanical rooms were located near storage

rooms, bathrooms and stairwells where noise is not as big of an issue. All air handling units are

specified to sit on vibration isolators. Main branches of ductwork were sized a 0.1 inches of

water pressure drop while branch ductwork was sized at 0.08 inches of water pressure drip for

noise purposes also. Diffusers, registers, grilles or other air distribution devices are specified to

not exceed a noise criterion of NC 35.

Windows

Due to the location of the building, Sarasota Florida, most of the windows are located on the

north side of the building. The amount of glass on the south side of the building was limited to

prevent too much solar radiation from entering the building. This led to some of the layout of

the spaces in the building. The library for instance has a two story area that is all glass on the

exterior therefore is was located in the northwest area of the building.

System Design

Constant Volume Air Handling Units

Air handling units 1-1 and 2-3 are constant volume units. They serve the art storage rooms on

the first and second level respectively. These spaces must be kept at 70 ºF and 50% relative

humidity. These areas have sidewall grilles that are ducted into the mechanical rooms and back

to the air handling units. The outdoor air dampers are set to allow 100cfm of air into the air

handler at all times.

Art Conservation Lab System

Air handler 1-3 is a 100% outdoor air unit. The design conditions of this room are 70 ºF and 50%

relative humidity. This air handler serves the Art Conservation Lab on the first level. This

system is a self balancing system that contains Phoenix Control valves. A control valve is

dedicated to each supply branch (two diffusers), each fume hood and each snorkel exhaust duct

branch (two snorkels). 400 cfm is supplied into the corridor next to the lab for transfer air. The

system will pull the necessary air to balance the air in the room, therefore the air was supplied

off of this system to make sure at all times this air is available to be transferred into the room.

Otherwise the air would have been pulled from somewhere else and may have caused problems

with other systems in the building. This system runs off of its own control panel that controls

the control valves. Each of the snorkels, fume hoods and the paint booth exhaust have minimum

set points. Therefore air is always leaving the system through their respective exhaust ducts. The

general exhaust duct is sized to take the remainder of the air that enters the room that is not

exhausted by the snorkels, fume hoods or the paint booth at minimum set points. When a form of

exhaust (snorkel, fume hood or the paint booth) is turned on the general exhaust valve is

modulated to balance the amount of air entering the room and leaving the room. The sum of the

minimum set points of the exhausts equals the minimum set point of the sum of the supplies.

The supply air modulates to meet the load in the room as well as the amount of air needed to

balance the system. Therefore the amount of air supplied is controlled by the room conditions

unless overridden by the amount of air needed to balance the exhaust air in the room. There are

two exhaust fans in this system. One exhausts air from all the snorkels and the fume hoods. The

other is dedicated to the paint booth exhaust.

Variable Air Volume Air Handlers

Air handling units 1-5, 2-1, and 2-2 are variable air volume units. Air handling unit 1-5 serves

offices on the first floor as well as the lobby to the bridge area, its room conditions set points are

72 ºF and 50% relative humidity. Air handling unit 2-1 serves the library on the second floor, its

room conditions set points are 70 ºF and 50% relative humidity. Air handling unit 2-2 serves the

second floor offices, its room conditions set points 72 ºF and 50%. All three of these units serve

terminal VAV boxes. The VAV box dampers modulate between 100% and 30%. The outdoor

air dampers on the air handlers also modulate the same. The reheat on the boxes is controlled by

the space temperature sensors.

Variable Air Volume Dual Path Air Handlers

Air handling units 1-2, and 1-4 are variable air volume dual path air handling units. Dual path

air handling units were selected due to the high outdoor air load for these spaces. Air handling

unit 1-2 serves the first level classrooms, its room condition set points are 72 ºF and 50% relative

humidity. Air handling unit 1-4 serves the first level library, its room condition set points are 70

ºF and 50% relative humidity. Both of these air handlers serve terminal VAV boxes. The VAV

box dampers modulate between 100% and 30%. The outdoor air dampers on the air handlers

also modulate the same. The reheat on the boxes is controlled by the space temperature sensors.

3--Mechanical Redesign

Redesign

The goals for The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center redesign is to reduce

energy consumed by the building as well as provide a means to meet the design conditions

specified by the owner. These design conditions are to maintain the building conditions at 70°F

and 50% relative humidity at all times in areas of the building that will contain art work. The

first redesign is actually an addition to the current building mechanical system. The proposal is

to add energy recovery wheels to all eight of the building air handlers to reduce the cooling coil

load. The wheels will hopefully also be able to help humidify and heat in the winter. The

second redesign is to evaluate the effectiveness of using thermal storage in the campus chiller

plant. Both cases of load leveling and full storage will be evaluated.

Supporting Information for Selected Redesign

Energy Usage

Approximately 90% of the United States energy use comes from Fossil Fuel, mainly oil, natural

gas and coal. In the United States 71% of our electricity is generated using thermal means; i.e.

burning fossil fuels. While this has proven to be an effective way for the United States to

produce electricity, heat and cool buildings, power factories and run vehicles it is becoming

detrimental to our environment. In the process of burning these fossil fuels Nitrogen Oxides

(NOx), Sulfur Oxides (Sox), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Volatile Organic

Compounds (VOC) and particulates are produced. These emissions are released into our

environment. They produce many harmful effects to not only our environment but to our health

as well. Acid precipitation results from the solution of nitrogen and sulfur oxides to give a

mixture of nitrous, nitric, sulfurous and sulfuric acids. Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide

lead to “Greenhouse Effect”. The “Greenhouse Effect” is heating of the environment because

heat loss from the surface of the earth through the atmosphere is reduced by reflection of infrared

radiation from gases and vapors such as CO2 and water vapor. CO and CO2 form CFC’s

(Chlorofluorocarbons) that lead to ozone depletion. The ozone protects us from the harmful

effects of extra ultra-violet radiation from the sun, which ultimately leads to skin cancer and

Page 15: The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center · Ringling Museum of Art Sarasota, Florida Lighting/Electrical Systems • Main Distribution: – 2000 Amps, 480/277V, 3PH,

Linda Lewis Mechanical Option Senior Thesis Report Spring 2005

other health affects such as VOC’s in sunlight react with ozone to produce highly reactive

compounds that attack the human lungs. No one quit knows its full effects yet but changes in our

climate have been documented and contributed to global warming.

According to DOE (Department of Energy) HVAC (Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning)

Systems in commercial and residential buildings accounts for 40-60% of energy consumption in

the United States. The graphs below come from Energy Consumption Characteristics of

Commercial Building HVAC Systems written by Detlef Westphalen and Scott Koszalinski for the

DOE. From Figure 3.1 it can be seen that the south uses the most energy of any U.S. region and

about 83% of the energy used by the south is consumed by HVAC.

Figure 3.1 Energy Usages in the United States

It has taken years to get our energy production and consumption to the point at which they are

now, it will also take years to turn it back around. There are many ways to reduce energy

consumption though. One of the main ways is by using renewable recourses to produce energy

(wind energy, geothermal energy, Solar, Hydro-electric and biomass). HVAC loads can be

reduced by using higher efficiency equipment and/or less energy consuming equipment. This

would include but is not limited too: low e glass, tighter building envelopes, energy reduced

equipment (such as Energy Star rated), energy reduced light fixtures, day lighting, water

reducing fixtures, economizers, heat recovery systems, and cogeneration,

The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center is located in Sarasota Florida.

Reduction in energy usage in this area is very important to our environment as well as our health.

Florida Power and Light will supply the Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center.

They offer some incentives for reduces electricity consumption:

• Rebates are available for energy efficient equipment including lighting, air conditioning,

chillers, thermal storage, insulation and window treatments, and other custom measures.

• Free Business Energy Evaluations are also offered, providing comprehensive analysis of

facility energy use and recommendations for cost-effective energy efficiency

improvement.

• The Business Custom Incentive Program rewards innovations that trim at least 25 kW

from peak demand. To qualify for a business custom incentive, the project must differ

from other FPL conservation programs and pass the FPL’s energy conservation test.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

In general terms IAQ is how the indoor air affects the health and well-being of those exposed to

it. In more technical terms IAQ is defined by how indoor air satisfies three basic requirements

for human occupancy:

1. Thermal acceptability.

2. Maintenance of normal concentrations of respiratory gases.

3. Dilution and removal of contaminants and pollutants to levels below health or odor discomfort thresholds.

IAQ is not a simple nor is it easily defined. It is a constantly changing interaction of complex

factors. These factors affect the types, levels, and importance of pollutants in indoor

environments. They include: sources of pollutants or odors; design, maintenance and operation

of building ventilation systems; moisture and humidity; and occupant perceptions and

Page 17: The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center · Ringling Museum of Art Sarasota, Florida Lighting/Electrical Systems • Main Distribution: – 2000 Amps, 480/277V, 3PH,

-14 - Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center

Sarasota, FL

Linda Lewis Mechanical Option Senior Thesis Report Spring 2005

susceptibilities. In addition, there are many other psychological factors that affect comfort or

perception of IAQ.

Some of the issues with IAQ today are:

• The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has estimated that we spend 90% of our

time indoors • Statistics show that 1 out of 5 Americans suffer from allergies caused by substances

found in the home and office.

• Asthma-

o In adults, asthma can develop in response to irritants in the workplace -

chemicals, dusts, gases, moulds and pollens.

o Nearly one in 13 school-aged children has asthma

o Asthma is the leading cause of school absenteeism due to a chronic illness,

accounting for over 14 million missed school days per year

o Deaths related to asthma have risen 40% in the past two decades.

• Indoor Air Quality problems can result in discomfort, acute health effects, and/or chronic

health effects for the building occupants

• Mild effects of poor IAQ are: irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches,

dizziness, and/or fatigue

• Serious effects of poor IAQ: respiratory cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or

immunologic disorders

• Poor indoor air quality can result in a decrease in productivity of workers and larger

numbers of absenteeism’s.

NOTE: The health effects associated with indoor air pollutants is difficult to access since

documented cases are hard to come by. Health effects may show up immediately or years later as

a result of pollutants. Health effects associated with chronic low-level exposure to common

indoor air pollutants still remain unexplored.

Linda Lewis Mechanical Option Senior Thesis Report Spring 2005

Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) has been an increasing research topic in recent years. SBS can be

defined as a persistent set of symptoms occurring in greater than 20% of those exposed, with

cause(s) not recognizable, and complaints/symptoms relieved after exiting the building.

Diagnosis of SBS is primarily based upon the exclusion of other disease and is determined

essentially by perception. These symptoms include but are not limited to: eye, nose or throat

irritation, headaches, fatigues and dizziness, difficulty in concentration, irritability, Dry skin,

rashes, Nasal congestion, difficulty in breathing, nose bleeds and nausea. These symptoms lead

to what is known as building related illness (BRI). Some BRI’s are hypersensitivity pneumonitis,

pontiac fever, legionnaire's disease and humidifier fever. The World Health Organization

(WHO) estimates that 30% of all commercial buildings exhibit signs of "sick" tendencies.

Poor IAQ can be contributed to the pollutants inside a building. Pollutants inside the building

can come from:

• Outside- cars, trucks, etc.

• Electrical equipment- computers, copy machines, printers, etc.

• Cleaning supplies- floor wax, carpet deodorizers, air fresheners ,etc.

• Cigarette smoke

• Off Gassing - new carpeting, furnishings, etc.

• Insulation and window coverings

• Pressed wood products

• Microbes such as mold and fungi – often mold develops in standing water within

the mechanical system and is then distributed throughout the building in the

supply air

• Etc.!!

Without proper ventilation these pollutants make it into our lungs instead of returned to the

mechanical equipment and exhausted or filtered.

Linda Lewis Mechanical Option Senior Thesis Report Spring 2005

One of the main causes of the increase in building pollutants over the years is the change in

building design and operation. In the 1970’s energy conservation attempts “tighten” buildings

designs. Buildings do not breathe (infiltration and exfiltration) like they used to. Another attempt

at conserving energy is made by owners. Building owners will partially or fully close outdoor air

dampers to reduce energy consumption. They have also been cutting costs on needed

maintenance to mechanical equipment, thus equipment is not being changed or cleaned

adequately. This results in inadequate ventilation for building occupants.

Another cause of poor indoor air quality is using a building for other purposes than it was

designed to be used for. Often there are too many people in an area, resulting in the inability of

the ventilation system to be affective in this area. Also, the addition of electrical equipment

and/or furniture in an area can add to the pollutants and load in the room not allowing for proper

ventilation.

Problems arise when ventilation systems, in an effort to save energy, do not bring in adequate

amounts of outdoor air. The ventilation requirements set by ASHRAE Standard 62 require a

certain amount of outdoor air to be brought into the building at all times. Unfortunately this does

not always occur. Inadequate ventilation can occur if the air supply and return vents within each

room are blocked or placed in such a way that outdoor air does not actually reach certain areas of

the building. Improperly located outdoor air intake vents can also bring in air contaminated with

automobile and truck exhaust, boiler emissions, fumes from dumpsters, or air vented from

restrooms. Finally, ventilation systems can be a source of indoor pollution themselves by

spreading biological contaminants that have multiplied in cooling towers, humidifiers,

dehumidifiers, air conditioners or the inside surfaces of ventilation duct work.

In a cooling application if re-circulated was fully used the load on the cooling coil would only

result from cooling the return air at approximately 75°F instead of cooling the outdoor air that

may be over 100°F. The outdoor air load is thus one of the largest energy consumers in the

building. Ways to reduce the outdoor air load of a building without reducing indoor air quality

are by using desiccant wheels, enthalpy wheels, sensible wheels, Coil Energy Recovery Loop,

ventilation air required in a building. An example is a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) that

only supplies the amount of air (air at the right temperature and absolute humidity to take care of

the latent load in each space) needed to each space to meet its ventilation requirements and uses

another parallel system to take care of the sensible load in the room. Another example is a

variable air volume (VAV) designed with all rooms on the same air handling unit having the

some Z factor (Z factor defined by ASHRAE Standard 62)

3.1--Energy Recovery Wheels

Background Information

Energy Recovery Wheels can be used in systems to reduce the outdoor air cooling load and

improve the indoor air quality. As mentioned previously the outdoor air load is one of the

largest loads associated with a building HVAC system. Energy wheels run between an exhaust

air stream and the outdoor air stream. The wheels are used to exchange the properties of the

exhaust air stream and with that of the outdoor air stream without actually mixing the two air

streams. Energy Recovery Wheels can also reduce condensation on equipment and humidity

levels in air ducts, eliminating growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria, and thus helping control

indoor air quality. Also, Energy Recovery Wheels inadvertently increase IAQ when they

decrease the outdoor air load because building operators are much less likely to close off or

reduce the outdoor air damper when the energy cost is less. There are three main types of energy

recovery wheels; sensible wheels, enthalpy wheels and desiccant wheels. Sensible wheels

exchange sensible heat only between the two air streams. Enthalpy wheels exchange latent and

sensible heat between the two air streams. Desiccant wheels primary function is to transfer

latent heat, in the process sensible heat is actually added to the air.

The advantages to using Energy Recovery Wheels are:

• Pre-conditioning incoming outdoor air thus reducing the outdoor air load on the system.

• Easily integrated/retrofitted into new/existing ventilation systems.

• Helps to meet ventilation standard without raising energy cost.

• Allows reduction in system capacity by 30 to 65%.

• Less dehumidification and humidification is required

The disadvantages/drawbacks of using Energy Recovery Wheels are:

• Possible cross contamination between air streams

• Generally not cost effective when the exhaust air stream is less than 50% of the outdoor

air stream.

• Increased maintenance- cleaning wheels

Desiccant Dehumidification

Background

Desiccant dehumidification is the process that uses a desiccant material to produce a

dehumidification affect. The process involves exposing the material to a high relative humidity

air stream where it will collect moisture from the air stream. Conventional solid desiccants

include silica gel, activated alumina, lithium chloride salt, molecular sieves and a new sold

desiccant material is zeolites.. Zeolites are designed to be more effective for cooling

applications. Liquid desiccants include lithium chloride, lithium bromide, calcium chloride, and

triethylene glycol solutions.

After the material is exposed to a high relative humidity air stream, it is then exposed to a lower

relative humidity air stream which will draw the moisture back out. The first air stream is

dehumidified while the second air stream is used to regenerate the desiccant material. In the

process of removing moisture from the air stream the desiccant wheel can also remove

contaminants thus improving IAQ. Often a normal exhaust air stream is unable to regenerate the

wheel to the proper conditions in which it can then remove the amount of moisture needed from

the high relative humidity air stream. A high heat source is needed to regenerate the wheel. This

heat source can be any means that reaches the appropriate temperature for proper regeneration

but one that is low cost or free heat is the best. Examples of ways to obtain regeneration heat are

solar energy, electric heat and waste heat off a boiler or absorption chiller. The process describe

above refers to a passive desiccant wheel, a system with only a desiccant wheel, it can be seen in

Figure 3.1-1 below.

Figure 3.1-1 Desiccant Dehumidification

An Active Desiccant wheel is another configuration of a desiccant dehumidification system. An

example of one way of configuring an active desiccant system can be seen in Figure 3.1-2 below.

This desiccant system consists of a desiccant, and a heat exchanger often an enthalpy wheel.

The enthalpy wheel will rotate at a speed of about 40 revolutions per minute (rpm) between the

exhaust air from the building and the process air stream. The process air stream as it is supply

side air stream. The desiccant wheel will rotate at a slower speed of about 10 revolutions per

hour (rph). The desiccant is equipped with a burner to modulate the regeneration temperature

and thus control the moisture removal capacity of the wheel.

Figure 3.1-3 Basic Air Desiccation Process

In Figure 3.1-4 shows the basic air process of a desiccant system. The desiccant wheel is used to

drive the moisture out of the air (process A to B in Figure 3.1-3). The use of a heat exchanger is

used to cool the air back down after the moisture is driven out (Process B to C in Figure 3.1-3).

The cooling down of the air after the dehumidification process and the needed heat to regenerate

the wheel add complexities to the desiccant system that sometimes make the system unable to be

used in certain applications. Normally desiccant dehumidification is best in applications where

the regeneration heat can be taken from a “free” source (like an absorption chiller) and the

cooling of the air after the dehumidification process is also “free” or at a lower energy cost than

it would be to just let the cooling coil do the process, as is normal practice in most conventional

systems today.

Redesign using Desiccant Dehumidification

Calculations

The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center’s location and parameters make it a

good application for desiccant dehumidification. The humidity levels in Florida reach around

147.5 grains per pound for decent periods of time. Also, the outdoor air temperature in the

Page 25: The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center · Ringling Museum of Art Sarasota, Florida Lighting/Electrical Systems • Main Distribution: – 2000 Amps, 480/277V, 3PH,

summer months is in the upper 90’s most days. The parameters for the building are that in area’s

with containing art work the relative humidly must be kept at 50% at all times. Using desiccant

dehumidification will help properly maintained relative humidity while lowering the energy cost

of the building systems. The proposal was to using an active desiccant system in each of the

eight air handling units in the building. The configuration of the wheels is shown below in figure

3.1-4. This is like Figure 3.1-3 using the enthalpy wheel as the heat exchanger. Do to the fact

there is no waste heat in the building that can be used to regenerate the wheel an electric heater

must also be installed to create the heat for the wheel regeneration. The exhaust air stream must

be split to provide air for both the desiccant wheel and the enthalpy wheel. Calculations where

done using 285°F and 320°F for the electric heater temperatures. These temperatures are the

limits that Novel Aire suggests for low and high temperatures.

Figure 3.1-4 Active Desiccant System for Redesign

Design Considerations/Assumptions:

• The room air conditions for general occupancy area’s is 72°F and 50% RH

• The room air conditions for area’s containing artwork is 70°F and 50% RH

• A 2°F rise in exhaust air was assumed from room conditions.

o The exhaust air flow was split between the desiccant wheel and the enthalpy

wheel. Using the Novel Aire desiccant wheel simulation program the amount of

air needed to pass through the desiccant wheel was determined. The rest of the

exhaust air was then used for the enthalpy wheel.

• The effectiveness of the enthalpy wheel and the desiccant wheel where taken from Novel

Aire simulation program. (Shown in Figure 3.1-5 & 6 below for AHU 1-1)

Conclusions Desiccant Dehumidification

The calculations for this section can be seen in Appendix A. After calculating the results of

using this configuration for AHU1-1 it was concluded that this set up of desiccant

dehumidification was not worth using. The savings was compared to the same system just using

an enthalpy wheel. The savings using the enthalpy wheel was greater (this is will discussed

more in the next section). The savings created by using this set up was minimal and the extra

equipment necessary was too great for these little savings. As it can be seen in the results there

are many things that led to a low energy savings in this set up:

• The exhaust air had to be split between two sections thus reducing the efficiency of both

the desiccant wheel and the enthalpy wheel.

• Running the electric heater add energy to the system (these numbers were not calculated

since the energy savings of the wheel was so low—it was unnecessary to calculated this

additional energy cost.)

• Using a desiccant wheel before an enthalpy wheel reduces the effectiveness of the

enthalpy wheel.

• The sensible load increase from the desiccant wheel is too great for the enthalpy wheel to

handle and thus reduces the effectiveness of this system.

In conclusion an active desiccant system analyzed here was not a good energy reducer. Instead

of this desiccant system enthalpy wheels alone will next be used to reduce the outdoor air load.

Just using an enthalpy wheel is less maintenance as well as more effective. Another active

desiccant dehumidification configuration may have been more effective in this application. All

desiccant dehumidification systems are fairly complicated and add additional maintenance.

Therefore, active desiccant systems will not be used for this building.

Enthalpy Wheels

Background

Enthalpy wheels are becoming common in Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

systems. They bring incoming air closer in temperature and humidity to exhaust air, which

reduces the load on the heating and cooling systems. A well-designed enthalpy wheel system

(one in which the exhaust air flow matches the outdoor air flow) can recover 60% to 80% of the

energy that would otherwise be needed to heat or cool outside air. It lowers building operating

costs and the capital cost of cooling and heating equipment as smaller devices can be installed.

As the same with the desiccant wheel the enthalpy wheel can remove contaminants for the air

thus improving IAQ.

An enthalpy wheel is positioned so that the exhaust air and the supply air travel through it in

opposite directions through separate ducts. The incoming air travels through the wheel before it

enters the rest of the HVAC system. Enthalpy wheels can recover both sensible and latent

Page 29: The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center · Ringling Museum of Art Sarasota, Florida Lighting/Electrical Systems • Main Distribution: – 2000 Amps, 480/277V, 3PH,

energy. Sensible heat is transferred as the metallic substrate picks up and stores heat from the

warmer air stream and gives it up to the cooler one. Latent heat is transferred as the synthesized

metallic substrate condenses moisture from the air stream that has the higher humidity ratio

through adsorption and releases the moisture through evaporation into the air stream that has the

lower humidity ratio. This all can be seen in figure 3.1-7 below.

Figure 3.1-7 Enthalpy Wheel

Wheels with a honeycomb matrix were introduced in the mid sixties. The medium was asbestos

paper impregnated with lithium chloride. Due to inherent absorption properties of asbestos and

lithium chloride these rotors had a short life. In the late seventies asbestos was replaced by kraft

paper; however, lithium chloride continued to remain the preferred desiccant due to its ease of

impregnation of media. In the mid seventies, two new enthalpy wheel models hit the market and

continue to be offered to date. The oxidized aluminum wheels offered by some manufacturers,

has corrugated aluminum foil wound on a mandrel and braced by steel strips on the sides. The

assembly is dipped into a bromide solution to cause the aluminums to oxidize and form a layer

of alumina - a known desiccant. Such wheels have heat transfer characteristics comparable to the

others at a lower cost. However, these wheels have a weaker structural integrity and suffer from

a desiccant migration problem. The other type of wheel uses silica gel as desiccant which is

bonded to the aluminum substrate through a coating process. The matrix is supported by spokes

and rim assembly. In the 1980s, considerable advances were being made in the fabrication of

silica and other compounds for the semiconductor industry. A derivative of these innovations

was the development of molecular sieves – synthetic zeolites that could be designed at the

molecular level. At the same time, manufacturing processes had been developed to allow the

bonding of a breathable layer of desiccant to metal or plastic surfaces.

Enthalpy wheels today are mainly either use Silica Gel or Molecular Sieve as the transfer

medium. Silica gel is a highly porous solid adsorbent material that structurally resembles a rigid

sponge. It has a very large internal surface composed of myriad microscopic cavities and a vast

system of capillary channels that provide pathways connecting the internal microscopic cavities

to the outside surface of the sponge. Silica gel enthalpy wheels transfer water by rotating

between two air streams of different vapor pressures. The vapor pressure differential drives

water molecules into/from these cavities to transfer moisture from the more humid air stream to

the drier air stream. Silica Gel is a substance that has preference for the adsorption of water

vapor molecules over other chemicals. Silica gel is the best desiccant for comfort ventilation

applications because, at typical relative humidity’s, it transfers two to three times as much water

by weight as compared to a Molecular Sieve. Silica gel has superior characteristics for

recovering space conditioning energy from exhaust air and handling high relative humidity

outside conditions. Another key point is that the transfer of water by sorption/desorption is not

dependent on temperature. Thus, the silica gel enthalpy wheel works to reduce latent load at

difficult part-load conditions. Molecular sieves are crystalline metal aluminosilicates having a

three dimensional interconnecting network of silica and alumina tetrahedra. Natural water of

hydration is removed from this network by heating to produce uniform cavities which selectively

adsorb molecules of a specific size. Molecular sieves are preferred for regenerated applications

such as desiccant cooling and dehumidification systems that must reduce processed air streams

to very low relative humidity.

Early in the development of Enthalpy wheels cross contamination was a large problem. Faulty

seals, poor designs and poor installations gave Enthalpy wheels a bad reputation in the design

world. They were not readily used after this occurred. Today they are slowly making a

comeback. Early in the development of Enthalpy wheels cross contamination was a large

problem. Faulty seals, poor designs and poor installations gave Enthalpy wheels a bad

reputation in the design world. They were not readily used after this occurred. Today they are

slowly making a comeback. The concern for enthalpy wheels is that the exhaust air could

contaminate the fresh air coming from outdoors with particles that are removed from the

outgoing airstreams by the wheel, such as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) from cleaning

agents, or microorganisms from carpets, behind insulation and even from people. Through the

use of better seals, purge sector and molecular sieve; cross-contamination is reduced to an

insignificant amount, around 0.04%.

Redesign using Enthalpy Wheels:

Calculations

On The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center Enthalpy wheels where added to

each of the air handling units to analysis the energy savings that they would achieve. The hope

is to reduce the outdoor air latent load significantly and that the first cost of the wheels is offset

by the savings that could be achieved by adding the wheels to all of the eight units.

Design Considerations/Assumptions:

• The room air conditions for general occupancy area’s is 72°F and 50% RH

• The room air conditions for area’s containing artwork is 70°F and 50% RH

• A 2°F rise in exhaust air was assumed from room conditions.

• The effectiveness of the enthalpy wheels where taken from Novel Aire simulation

program. (Shown in Figure 3.1-9 below for AHU 1-1)

• All of the air handling units where designed to supply air at 48°F and 38 Gr/lb

• The wheels are run until there is no net savings for running them.

• The wheels are modulated to reach design supply air temperatures when the temperature

falls below 48°F (the supply air temperature). While heating the air the wheels also

humidify, reducing the load on the humidifiers. At these conditions the cooling coil load

is not in use.

A bin year was created using Bin Maker. It takes in to account occupied/unoccupied times as

well as considers the fact that from May to September the building has a reduced occupancy in

certain areas of the building. This reduction in building occupancy comes from the fact that the

building is an education facility. From the HAP load analysis the average outdoor air flow in

each bin was determined. The total savings for each air handling unit was then calculated and

related to the amount of kilowatts of energy that would be saved. Lastly, a cost analysis was

done to determine the payback period of adding the wheels.

Conclusion--Enthalpy Wheels

be a sufficient way to reduce the load on the cooling coils of each air handling unit. Table 3.1-1

The humidifier load in the building is relatively low. The only air handlers that contain

humidifiers are AHU 1-1, AHU 1-3, AHU 1-4, and AHU 2-3. These air handling units serve the

areas where artwork is located. The humidifier load is very hard to determine. It depends really

on the return air conditions. If the absolute humidity in the return air is enough to, when mixed,

offset the dryness of the outdoor air the humidifier is not needed. If the absolute humidity of the

return air mixed with the outdoor air is less than the needed air humidity level then the

humidifier would be needed. The enthalpy wheels can aid in the process of humidifying but can

not always take the full load. These results assume that the enthalpy wheels are running to heat

the air up to supply air conditions. The humidifying that the wheel does in the process of heating

this air up is summarized in Table 3.1-5 and the heating in Table 3.1-6. The air may not actually

need to be heated to the supply air temperature though. Mixing the outdoor air with the return

air may still result in cooling during these bins. Therefore these results are only good when the

outdoor air needs to be heated by the enthalpy wheel to the supply air temperature. It is very

hard to know how much savings the wheels will provide for heating and humidifying. The only

concrete result is that they will provide some reduction in load.

Cost Savings—Enthalpy Wheels

The cost savings of the enthalpy wheels was calculated and is summarized in Table 3.1-7. The

cost savings was done using 36% of the hours as on-peak and 64% of the hours as off-peak.

This is a fair assumption using Florida Power and Lights on-peak and off-peak hours. The

amount of savings achieved by the enthalpy wheels is on average $3,275.68.

The cost of the wheels is not the only addition cost associated with adding enthalpy wheels to the

system. There is also additional cost for installing more exhaust fans since there are a few larger

exhaust fans in the building. Smaller exhausts fans were added to each air handling unit to

provide the wheels with there appropriate exhaust air cfm. Also the section for the enthalpy

wheel must be added to the unit. The total of all these costs was on average $625 per air

handling unit. Therefore the actual total cost of adding enthalpy wheels to the system is

$24,405. The cost of the coiling coils is also reduced for each unit. This results in a first cost

reduction of $7896.00 therefore reducing the first cost of the system to $15,509.00. The pay

back period for the wheels is approximately 4.7 years.

3.2--Thermal Storage:

Thermal storage is the process of storing energy. The energy can be stored in the storage

medium either by changing its temperature (heating or cooling) or by changing its "phase"

(liquid to solid). The energy is released when the process is reversed. This section will only

focus on storing cooling since that is the application that will be applied to The Florida State

University Ringling Conservation Center.

Long-term storage of thermal energy in large amounts (>1000 MWh) has been in use since the

1980s. The storage medium is generally water or rocks, e.g. in aquifers, rock caverns, bore

holes. Short-term storage of "coolness" in air-conditioned buildings is mostly used for Demand

Side Management (DSM) purposes, where the systems have been found to be cost-effective.

The main applications have been in the USA, Canada and Japan.

The concept of cooling thermal storage is to produce cooling by making ice or low temperature

water at off-peak electrical times (normally night time) to be melted or used during on-peak

electrical times. This is done because off-peak electrical rates are lower than on-peak rates. As

well as on-peak demand charges can be greatly reduced when the peak load is shifted from on-

peak hours to off-peak hours.

Storage can be done as “full storage” or “partial storage”. Installing a system that is capable of

avoiding all the on-peak chiller operation is referred to as “full storage.” An alternative referred

to as "partial storage" minimizes or eliminates any additional initial capital investment. By

operating a chiller for the entire day, on-peak at standard conditions and off-peak at ice-making

conditions, its size is usually reduced to 40% to 50% of the conventional design. A graph of

“full storage” and “partial storage” can be seen below. For “partial storage” the cooling

equipment (a chiller) would not be able to fully shut-down during the on-peak hours. Often

“partial storage” is used to load level (as seen in figure), letting the chillers run at full capacity

all the time. This allows for the best efficiency in your chiller (more energy efficient) as well as

provides a level load profile. A level load can lead to a good application for a combined heat

and power system (CHP) that allows for even more additional energy savings.

Figure 3.2-1 Full Storage Vs. Partial Storage

The HVAC industry is very sensitive to the changes in electric power rates. Thermal storage for

cooling applications depends almost entirely on time differentiated utility rate structures for its

existence. Thermal storage is used mainly in commercial buildings because commercial

Page 41: The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center · Ringling Museum of Art Sarasota, Florida Lighting/Electrical Systems • Main Distribution: – 2000 Amps, 480/277V, 3PH,

-38 - Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center

Linda Lewis Mechanical Option Senior Thesis Report Spring 2005

building on-peak electrical rates are one of the highest rates out there. The commercial customer

presents a particularly poor load profile to the utility. Therefore, commercial customers pay, on

average, 65% more for their electricity than industrial customers. Considerable debate exists

about the eventual savings that deregulation will produce, but it is clear that off-peak power will

be extremely inexpensive.

There are many advantages to using thermal storage, some of which have been listed above. The

greatest benefit of thermal storage is its ability to produce more kWh from fewer kW of

operating capacity. Producing energy at off-peak times reduces the load on the utilities thus

taking some of the peak load off of them. All other things being equal, thermal storage

customers will consume approximately the same kWh as their conventional system counterpart.

Even if customers can only displace 20% of the peak demand, a conservative goal, the power

provider has the opportunity to sell all of the original kWh, plus an additional 20% in kWh sales

to another customer. Although it is debatable, most of the time Thermal storage systems can be

designed to use less electrical energy than their conventional counterparts. This savings comes

from using equipment at maximum capacity for longer time periods. Equipment sizes are most

often smaller, up to 40-50%. Often in full or partial storage the capacity of the chiller needed is

less than in a non-thermal storage application. Other benefits from this include the reduction in

operating costs compared to on-peak marginal capacity, lower emissions costs per kWh and

improved transmission efficiency. Thermal storage also presents one of the only ways of

shifting load. Storage systems do not negatively impact a facility's operation, as other load

shedding or load control programs almost always do. On a first cost basis thermal storage

systems are typically little to no additional cost and provide an energy cost reduction. Finally,

thermal storage is very versatile. As electrical rates change and costs shift thermal storage can

be adjusted to meet these changes.

As with every system there are draw-backs to using thermal storage. Storage tanks must be

installed. They can often take up large areas and cause maintenance issues. There are also

safety and hygiene concerns when there are large tanks with standing water or ice in them. These

Page 42: The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center · Ringling Museum of Art Sarasota, Florida Lighting/Electrical Systems • Main Distribution: – 2000 Amps, 480/277V, 3PH,

Linda Lewis Mechanical Option Senior Thesis Report Spring 2005

systems are not limited to but are most often used with only pure water and not mixture solutions

for these reasons. Special training for operators and maintenance persons can also be a concern.

Cool thermal storage can be done with chilled water or ice as the storage medium. Chilled-water

storage systems use the sensible heat capacity of water—1 Btu per pound (lb) per degree

Fahrenheit (F)—to store cooling capacity. They operate at temperature ranges compatible with

standard chiller systems and are most economical for systems greater than 2,000 ton-hours in

capacity. Ice thermal storage systems use the latent heat of fusion of water—144 Btu/lb—to

store cooling capacity. Storing energy at the temperature of ice requires refrigeration equipment

that can cool the charging fluid (typically, a water/glycol mixture) to temperatures below the

normal operating range of conventional air-conditioning equipment. Special ice-making

equipment or standard chillers modified for low-temperature service are used. When ice thermal

storage is incorporated into a building system the low temperatures of the chilled-water supply

allow the use of low-temperature air distribution (usually calling for Fahrenheit temperatures in

the mid-40s, versus the mid-50s for conventional systems), meaning smaller fans and ducts are

needed. When ice is the storage medium, there are several technologies available for creating ice

and using the ice to cool circulated fluid. The first of which is ice harvesting. Ice harvesting

systems have an evaporator surface on which ice is formed. It is then frequently released into a

storage tank that is partially filled with water. The second is external melt ice-on-coil systems.

They use submerged pipes through which a refrigerant or secondary coolant is circulated. This

causes ice to accumulate on the outside of the pipes. Storage is discharged by circulating the

warm return water over the pipes, melting the ice from the outside. Internal melt ice-on-coil

systems also feature submerged pipes on which ice is formed. Storage is discharged by

circulating warm coolant through the pipes, melting the ice from the inside. Ice slurry systems

store water or water/glycol solutions in a slurry state—a partially frozen mixture of liquid and

ice crystals that looks much like a frozen fruit smoothie. To meet cooling demand, the slurry

may be pumped directly to the load or to a heat exchanger that cools a secondary fluid that

circulates through the building's chilled-water system. Internal melt ice-on-coil systems are the

most commonly used type of ice storage technology in commercial applications. External melt

and ice harvesting systems are more common in industrial applications, although they can also

be applied in commercial buildings and district cooling systems. Ice slurry systems have not

been widely used in commercial applications. Eutectic salts, also known as phase-change

materials, use a combination of inorganic salts, water, and other elements to create a mixture that

freezes at a desired temperature. The material is encapsulated in plastic containers that are

stacked in a storage tank through which water is circulated. The most commonly used mixture

for thermal storage freezes at 47°F, which allows the use of standard chilling equipment to

charge storage, but leads to higher discharge temperatures.

Storage tanks must have the strength to withstand the pressure of the storage medium, and they

must be watertight and corrosion-resistant. Aboveground outdoor tanks must be weather-

resistant. Buried tanks must withstand the weight of their soil covering and any other loads that

might occur above the tank, such as parked cars. Tanks may also be insulated to minimize

external condensation and thermal losses, which typically run 1 to 5 percent per day. Options for

tank materials include steel, concrete, and plastic. Large steel tanks have the capacity of up to

several million gallons. Cylindrical pressurized tanks are generally used to hold between 3,000

and 56,000 gallons. Concrete tanks may be precast or cast in place. Precast tanks are most

economical in sizes of one million gallons or more. Plastic tanks are typically delivered as

prefabricated modular units. Rectangular tanks are commonly available in sizes up to 8 x 8 x 20

feet. Steel and concrete are the most commonly used types of tanks for chilled-water storage.

Most ice harvesting systems use site-built concrete, external-melt systems usually use concrete

or steel tanks, internal melt systems usually use plastic or steel, and eutectic salt systems

commonly use concrete tanks with polyurethane.

Figure 3.2-2 Volume Needed Per Ton-hour

Thermal Storage For This Project:

The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center is served by a chiller plant that serves

the entire Ringling campus. Currently there are two 650 ton water cooled centrifugal chillers

providing 40 degree water at a 10 degree delta temperature. Using thermal storage on a campus

normally works well due to the fact that they are used year round. Also, when using a campus

instead of just one building the load profiles are normally more stable and a larger on-peak/ off-

peak load exists allowing for enough off-peak cooling to occur to make the option cost effective.

The analysis done on the chiller plant will be to analysis load leveling as well as partial storage

to find which application works best.

Calculation—Partial Storage

All calculations and specifications for equipment talked about in this section can be seen in

Appendix C.

Loads for June, July and August where acquired from the designing engineer. These months

were the only months needed to design the original plant. July, being the design month led to the

design containing one 650 ton chiller with one redundant 650 ton chiller. To do a typical year

analysis bin data was used for each day of the year. Using the relationship between wet bulb

temperatures and tons of cooling a bin year was created.

Once the bin year was created the electricity on-peak and off-peak times (see Figure 3.2-3)

where used to find the maximum storage that would be needed to meet the peak demands while

shifting as much load to off-peak hours as possible. Originally July was assumed as the design

month. Since the off-peak/on-peak times vary between November-March and April-October the

design month actually turned out to be March. This is because March had the largest load where

only 8 hours where available for storage. The other off-peak hours from November to March are

during the day when the ice storage system would be used for meeting the load and not for

storage.

The thermal storage load was determined by subtracting the peak loads from hours 9-19 from the

base load design. The base load is around 110 tons. This chiller was sized at 150 tons. Extra

capacity was added to the system for future expansion.. A York water cooled Centrifugal Chiller

was selected to cover the base load. The thermal storage capacity needed was determined to be

4000 ton hours for the month of March. This load could be stored over eight hours. This

corresponds to a 500 ton thermal storage chiller. A MaxE York Centrifugal Chiller was selected

as the thermal storage chiller. This machine has the capability of making ice, although the

overall efficiency of the chiller is de-rated approximately 30%. The peak ton hours of 4445.5

occur on July 29th. This load could be stored over 11 hours and therefore led to a lower ton per

hour than was needed in March. The storage tanks needed where then sized using Calmac

Icetanks. They were sized off of the max ton hours (4445.5 tonh). It was determined that 8--

1500CSF model tanks are needed. They have the capacity to hold 4560 ton hours of cooling.

Next, the total electrical costs for the system with thermal storage and without thermal storage

were calculated. It was assumed that the 650 ton chillers would run at an ERR (Energy

efficiency ratio = Btu/kW) of 7 when performing the base load and an EER of 13 when

producing the peak load.

load occurs during peak hours the cost is significantly larger. The peak kilowatts for each month

can be seen in Table 3.2-4 below. Due to the fact the peak load occurs during on-peak hours for

the chiller without thermal storage the demand charge per month is much greater.

The peak load now is from the base load chiller and is drastically reduced. Lowering this

kilowatt demand now places the plant in a slightly higher customer service charge bracket.

Shifting the load also puts the plant in a higher kilowatt hour rate for both off-peak and on-peak.

Despite this the overall cost of the thermal storage chiller plant energy usage is still less. As it

can be seen in Table 3.2-5 this shift in demand can be seen in the kilowatt hour charge too.

The thermal storage chiller will be laid out with the chiller downstream as shown in Figure 2-7.

Using the chiller downstream allows the warm water to first flow through the storage tanks

cooling it down before it enters the chiller. This arrangement results in a higher usable storage

capacity and a constant discharge temperature. The downside to using this arrangement is that

when the chiller operates at a lower temperature it is less efficient.

Calculation—Load Leveling

All calculations and specifications for equipment talked about in this section can be seen in

Appendix C.

The calculations for the load leveling system were done using the same bin year created in the

partial storage section. These loads were then compared the original chiller plant design as done

for the partial storage system. The design day for this system occurred in July. The thermal

storage capacity needed was determined to be 2650 ton hours for the design day in July. This

corresponds to a 310 ton thermal storage chiller. A MaxE York Centrifugal Chiller was selected

as the thermal storage chiller. The storage tanks needed where then sized using Calmac

Icetanks. It was determined that 7-- 1320CSF model tanks are needed. They have the capacity to

hold 2660 ton hours of cooling. Figure 3.2-8 shows the design day load.

Thermal Storage Conclusions—Load Leveling

From the calculations that can be seen in Appendix C it can be seen that the use of thermal

storage can reduce the cost of running this system by about 15.8%. The overall cost analysis can

be seen in the following tables. The results are similar to the partial storage system but less

savings is achieved because using load leveling shifts less kilowatt usage to off-peak than the

partial storage system did. Again the thermal storage chiller will be laid out with the chiller

downstream as shown in Figure 3.2-7.

The difference in first cost between these two systems is $211,000.00. Using the inflation rate of

money to be 1.023% per year a payback period of 15.52 years was calculated.

Thermal Storage—Comparing Systems

Both the partial storage and load leveling systems have too great of payback periods to make

them worth investing in. The systems both have similarities and differences in results. First,

both systems successfully shifted kilowatt hours from on-peak to off-peak hours. However the

partial storage system, which is really set up as a base load chiller and then full storage of the

rest of the load, is more successful at shifting kilowatt hours. With using load leveling about 235

kW of on-peak demand were able to be shifted to off-peak as well as 53,970 kWh on a monthly

average. With using partial storage about 430 kW of on-peak demand were able to be shifted to

off-peak as well as 114,690 kWh on a monthly average. Therefore the savings for the partial

storage system is much greater. Secondly, the shift for both systems is enough to move the plant

down into the next pay structures with Florida Power in Light. This actually really hurts the cost

savings of both systems. The on-peak kwh charge in the lower bracket is 1.058 cents higher than

the higher bracket. The off-peak kwh charge in the lower bracket is 0.233 cents higher. The on-

peak kW demand charge only changes slightly from $8.15/kW to $8.16/kW. Had the plant

stayed in the same bracket the savings would have been much greater for both of these systems.

Finally, the first cost of a thermal storage system in both cases is too high for the amount of

money the plant is able to save on energy bills. The main extra charge comes from the storage

tanks at $100/tonh. Using load leveling less ton hours are needed and therefore the cost of the

tanks is less. However storing less ton hours results in a higher number of on-peak hours which

in turn leads to less savings for the overall system. Finally, both systems overall use more

kilowatts with thermal storage than they do without thermal storage. This does not meet the

design objectives to reduce energy usage. Thermal storage reduces costs by shifting time of use.

The decrease in energy efficiency in making ice increases the overall energy consumption of the

plan.

Chiller Configuration

Currently the chiller plant contains two 650 ton chillers. One of these chillers is redundant.

There are plans to add possibly one or two more buildings onto the plant in the future. The

Ringling campus is running out of land though. Looking at the overall load that the chillers

currently see during about 85% of the year the tonnage needed is under 500 tons. Over night the

load reduces to around 110 tons. A 650 ton chiller running at 110 ton has a very poor efficiency.

If the system had 2—350 ton chillers and 1—300 ton chiller it would be about to meet the loads

with a better efficiency. Also this set up will allow the redundant chiller to be 350 tons therefore

saving on first cost. If more buildings are added to the system more than likely the 300 ton

chiller would still be good for the over night base load. In both set ups another chiller will

probably have to be added to the system when more buildings are added. With this new

configuration the chillers will run closer to full load more often allowing for the overall

efficiency of the system to be higher.

From this first cost analysis it can be seen that just by using three smaller chillers opposed to two

larger chillers reduces the first cost of the equipment by $96,500. On a first cost analysis this

makes this option more attractive. Next, the operation cost of running these two configurations

was analyzed. As before it was assumed that on average the 650 ton chiller would run at an EER

of 7 during the night when the load is around 110 tons and at on average an EER of 13 during

the day. With the new configuration the chillers would run on average at an EER of 13 all the

time. This led to the cost savings of approximately $8,040 a year in operating costs. An overall

cost of operation of each configuration and the savings achieved by the new configuration can be

seen in Table 3.2-24 below. On average from November to March the new system saves $524 a

month and from April to October $775 per month.

4-Acoustics:

Background

In the past acoustics for buildings especially concert halls was done by luck. A design would be

done that worked well and then it would be mimicked. Other times awful designs emerged and

the concert hall would have to be torn down. Acoustic calculations did not exist until the

Harvard University's Fogg Art Museum was built in 1895. Soon after the museum was built it

was determined that its lecture hall had absolutely atrocious acoustics. A young physics

professor, Wallace Clement Sabine, was asked to do some research on the lecture hall. Over the

next three years, Sabine did scientific testing on the room using a stopwatch, organ pipes and a

number of seat cushions. Fogg Art Museum was never fixed but Sabine was able to develop

some useful equations from his research. He formulated an equation for reverberation time,

relating it to room volume and materials (T60 = 0.161*V/A where V is the room volume in cubic

meters, and A is the total absorption in square meters). The unit for a material's sound

absorption, the Sabin, is named after him. The unit of sound absorption is square meter,

referring to the area of open window. This unit stems from the fact that sound energy traveling

toward an open window in a room will not be reflected at all, but completely disappears in the

open air outside. The effect would be the same if the open window would be replaced with 100

% absorbing material of the same dimensions. One sabin is the absorption of one square foot of

open window, and one metric sabin is the absorption of one square meter of open window.

Since the days of Wallace Clement Sabine many advances have been made in the realm of

acoustics. Various branches of acoustics exist that deal with different aspects of sound and

hearing including bioacoustics, physical acoustics, ultrasonic, and architectural acoustics. In the

area of architectural acoustics most of the developments have been made in regards to concert

halls. As this data was collected it was verified how important acoustics are in all areas of a

building. The rest of this section will focus on acoustical items that will apply to The Florida

State University Ringling Conservation Center library area.

Human Hearing

Humans can not hear all sounds produced in a building, therefore only sounds in the audible

range must be accounted for. The upper and the lower limits of the audible frequency (the

number of cycles that the periodic signal completes in one second) range is generally considered

to be 16 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The diagram below shows the typical frequencies at which different

sounds are heard. The audible frequency range depends on many factors such as the setup of the

measurements and the age of the listeners. The human hearing system is more sensitive to

frequencies in the range of 1000 Hz-4000 Hz. Also, the human hearing system is unable to

distinguish between two separate sounds with frequencies too close to each other. For this

reason acoustical measurements and calculations are done in octave bands. An octave band is

the interval between two frequencies having a ratio of 2:1.

Figure 4.1 Human Hearing

Sound levels are measured in decibels. A decibel is the unit used to measure the loudness of

sound. The decibel is a measure of sound intensity as a function of power ratio, with the

difference in decibels between two sounds being given by dB=10 log 10 (P 1 /P 2 ), where P 1 and

P 2 are the power levels of the two sounds. The change in the sound pressure level (SPL) must

be more than certain value in order to be noticeable by the human hearing system. In the chart

below it can be seen how the human hearing system responds to varying decibel levels at

different frequencies. It should be noted that the decibel values of sounds can not be added to

obtain the value of the resulting sound. Instead, the combining levels are turned into intensities,

added together and then turned back into decibel values.

Acoustic Materials

The sound absorption coefficient of a material has is measured in sabins as stated above. It is the

ratio of the absorbed sound energy to the incident energy. For architectural purposes, sound

absorbing materials and constructions can be divided into four types of materials depending on

the way the absorption is mainly performed:

1. Turning the sound energy into heat such as fiberglass and carpet.

2. Vibrating with a specific frequency when the sound hits the surface such as lightweight

panels and 5/8" gypsum board. (These materials absorb the sound effectively on a

narrow band of frequencies)

3. Turning the sound energy into heat in the neck of the cavities (Helmholtz resonator) such

as sound blocks. (This construction has a good absorption on low frequencies)

4. Allowing the sound to go through such as some types of grid systems and lay-in ceiling

with sound leakage above it.

The most common way to measure sound absorption coefficient is to lay a piece of the material

in a reverberant room and then measure the Reverberation time so the coefficient can be derived

from Sabin equation. Reverberation time is the time required for the sound level in the room to

decay 60 dB, or in other words, it is the time needed for a loud sound to be inaudible after

turning off the sound source. Reverberation time of a room can be controlled by changing the

size or the materials of the room. The optimum reverberation time for different rooms depends

on the volume of the space, the type of the room, and the frequency of the sound.

Often NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficients) is used to evaluate materials absorptive quality. The

NRC is the arithmetic average of the sound absorption coefficients at 250, 500, 1000, and 2000

Hz. This average is rounded to the multiples of 0.05.

Noise Paths

Noise in buildings may take many paths. The following figures illustrate the possible paths.

Rating Systems

NC - The Noise Criteria values are determined from the measurements of the octave-band

sound levels in an occupied room when the air-conditioning system is on. The

measured values are then compared to standard NC curves to determine the values.

Linda Lewis Mechanical Option Senior Thesis Report Spring 2005

RC - The Room Criterion is mostly used for acoustical design of HVAC systems. The RC

criteria take into account the noise components at the lowest and the highest

frequencies. The measurement values should be taken in an unoccupied room.

NCB – The Balanced Noise Criterion has been recently standardized and has concepts similar

to NC and RC. The sound level measurements for NCB should be taken in an occupied

room. The RC and NCB ratings include procedures for checking different factors such as

the rumble compliance (excessive noise at frequencies below 500 Hz) and the hiss

compliance (excessive noise at frequencies above 1000 Hz).

STC - Sound Transmission Class is a single number used to characterize the air-borne

isolation properties of a partition. The STC is determined from the measured

Transmission Loss (TL- sound loss through walls/barriers) of a partition at different

frequencies. These measured values are then compared with standardized STC

contours.

IIC - Impact Isolation Class is another single-number rating system for a solid-borne noise

(floor-ceiling structure). The higher the IIC rating, the more efficient the construction

will be in attenuating the impact sound within the frequency range of the IIC

Library Acoustics

The acoustic design of internal spaces has a major bearing on the successful operation of a

building. Consideration of privacy, intelligibility and all aspects of room acoustic design allow a

building to be used to its full potential. Libraries fall in the speech category and typically are

dead spaces (reverberation time is fairly low) and should fall in the range of 0.6 to 1.4. It is

important that the reverberation time in a library is low because it directly affects the articulation

loss (the ability to understand to speech). This occurs because it is able to keep each sound event

separate rather than running them together.

FSU Ringling Conservation Center Library Acoustics:

There was not any documentation on the acoustics in The Florida State University Ringling

Conservation Center. This section will focus directly on the library area as it is an important

area for good acoustics. Twenty rooms were analyzed in all. These rooms and there volumes

and wall areas are listed in Table 4.1. The reverberation times in these rooms were calculated to

see if they fall below the recommended levels for the specific type of room. Also the sound

transmissions were calculated for rooms with critical sound transmission characteristics. The

calculations were done using the sound pressure levels of a normal speaking voice at 1 meter.

The rooms that were analyzed for sound transmission were all the offices, conference rooms and

study rooms.

The main room of concern in this list is 1185 Library. This room has a very large volume. It is a

two story room. From the rendering in Figure 4.5 you can see that there are books in this room

that will help keep the reverberation time down but half of this room is study tables which will

not. Also the floor in this room is terrazzo which is a reflecting material instead of an absorbing

material.

Figure 4.5 1185 Library

FSU Ringling Conservation Center Library Acoustics Conclusions:

All calculations can be seen in Appendix D for this section.

Reverberation Times

All of the reverberation times are expectable except for 1185 Library and 2080 Conference

where the reverberation times are too high in certain octave bands. Some of the other rooms have

too low of reverberation times. This results in poor speech intelligibility. Since it is a library,

and little talking will be done unless at a close range, low speech intelligibility is expectable. The

Page 71: The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center · Ringling Museum of Art Sarasota, Florida Lighting/Electrical Systems • Main Distribution: – 2000 Amps, 480/277V, 3PH,

- 68 - Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center

Sarasota, FL

Linda Lewis Mechanical Option Senior Thesis Report Spring 2005

reverberation time in 1185 Library at 500 Hz and 1000 Hz is over 2 seconds. If this room was

empty a person talking in this room would bounce off the walls and be reflected back to a listen

for over 2 seconds. This is not good in a library, especially when there is a large potential for

someone to drop a book. However, the reverberation time in this room will probably in

actuality less than 2 seconds. This is because the presence of books in the room was not

accounted for. The reverberation times in this space will most likely still be too high though. In

2080 Conference the reverberation time in the 250 and 500 octave bands is over 1.0 seconds.

This is to high for a conference room where speech intelligibility is necessary. It is

recommended to add acoustical panels or acoustical clouds to these rooms. In 1185 Library if

the reverberation time can be reduced with these panels down to around 1.4 seconds then with

the addition of the books damping the sound the acoustics in this room will be much approved.

In 2080 Conference the reverberation times in the 250 and 500 Hz octave bands needs to be

reduced below 1.0 seconds. Pictures of these suggested panels can be seen in Figures 4.6 and

4.7. Cost data for these panels and clouds can be seen in Appendix C. These panels were

selected from Acoustical Services, Inc. The sound absorption qualities of these materials can also

be seen in Appendix C. The selected option is to use the Echo Eliminator, an acoustical panel,

because it is the cheapest solution as well as the material is made from recycled cotton therefore

it is considered a green material. The panels come in a Blue (Jean Material) or White, Light

Gray, and Charcoal. The price of the blue panels is cheaper ($1.75/ft2) because they are covered

with jean material and do not need to be died another color. To achieve proper reverberation

times in 1185 Library 40 of these panels are needed and would cost $560 in blue and $688 in any

other color ($2.15/ft2). To achieve proper reverberation times in 2080 Conference 3 panels are

needed and would cost $42.00 in blue and $51.60 in any other color.

Sound Transmission

The sound transmissions that were calculated turned out all to be satisfactory. The sound

pressure levels in the receiving room were compared to the RC rating sound pressure levels for

that the receiver room minus 5dB. This is because the RC rating distinguishes the amount of

sound that is expectable in that type of room. If the received levels are below the RC level minus

5 dB they are expectable. Therefore all of the rooms are considered expectable as designed.

5-Lighting

Background

General

Thomas Edison invented the incandescent lamp in 1879 transforming the way we live and work.

However artificial lighting has its risks as well as its benefits. Over the years many different

types of lamps have been developed:

• Incandescent Lamps – Least expensive, most costly to operate, used for residential

lighting.

• Fluorescent Lamps – Used mainly in commercial buildings, 3 to 4 times as efficient as

incandescent lamps, last about 10 times as long as incandescent lamps, need ballasts to

operate, should be used in places they will be on for a long time

o Compact Fluorescent Lamps - combine the efficiency of fluorescent lighting

with the convenience and popularity of incandescent fixtures, replace

incandescent approximately three to four times their wattage, more attractive

color temperature for residential use than before, cost more than incandescent but

they last a lot longer

• High Intensity Discharge – Longest lasting lamp, outdoor light

• Low Pressure Sodium – Used where color rendering is not important, such as parking

lots, very efficient

When selecting a lamp the two characteristics that are looked at most are the CRI (color

rendering index) and the color temperature. The CRI is a numerical system that rates the "color

rendering" ability of fluorescent light in comparison with natural daylight, which has a CRI of

100. This means that a lamp with a CRI of 91 shows colors more naturally than a lamp with a

CRI of 62. Most standard "cool white" fluorescent bulbs range 60 to 75 CRI. The color

temperature is expressed in degrees Kelvin (K). Noon time daylight is about 5500 degrees

Kelvin. Fluorescent lamps with lower color temperatures look red; fluorescents with higher color

temperatures look blue.

Daylighting

Daylighting is becoming more and more popular these days. Daylighting is using natural light

for interior lighting. Using natural light makes people more productive, happier and healthier in

a building. Using daylighting can suppress melatonin levels in the body. Melatonin is the

hormone that makes humans tired. Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland, a pea-size

structure at the center of the brain, as our eyes register the fall of darkness. At night melatonin is

produced to help our bodies regulate our sleep-wake cycles. Daylight can actually help you stay

awake. Four cells in the human retina capture light and form the visual system. One type, rod

cells, regulates night vision. The other three types, called cone cells, control color vision. It's

known that exposure to light at night can disrupt the body's production of melatonin, which is

produced by the pineal gland in the brain and plays a vital role in resetting the body's daily

biological clock. According to Several very recent studies, most notably research from a team

headed by Dr. George Brainard at Thomas Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, have

identified the specific wavelengths of blue light, 446-477 nm that are crucial in suppressing

melatonin production in humans.

Daylighting would be a nice feature to add to any building. Unfortunately in Florida adding

windows to any part of the building especially the south side can increase the thermal load on the

building immensely. Also, the sun produces 7,000 to 10,000 foot candles. Only about 50 foot

candles are needed in an office setting. Having too much sunlight in a room produces dark areas

and/or glare. Regions with lots of sun are not the best application for daylighting.

Although daylighting using natural light is not the best idea in southern areas with lots of sun

daylight features are still needed. Lamps have been developed that better mimic daylight levels

but are controlled as too not add too much glare. Full spectrum lamps, as they are called, are

good for areas where natural light is not possible or would cause too many problems. Natural

Full Spectrum Fluorescent lights have the proven capability to blend with natural light from

windows and skylights and reveal detail and colors accurately. They can also help improve the

performance and productivity of people by suppressing melatonin production.

Proposal for this Building

The proposal for The Florida State University Ringling Conservation Center is to use full

spectrum bulbs in the classroom areas. Using them in classrooms where learning will occur is

one of the best applications for natural light. Also, the high CRI of a full spectrum lamp will

allow for better color distinction in the classrooms. Secondly, using direct/indirect fixtures in

this room will assessed. Using these fixtures will help eliminate glare and the harshness of the

2’x 2’ fluorescent lamps that currently in the room.

Current Lighting Layout

Figure 5.1 Classroom Lighting Design

The currently lighting layout uses 2’x 2’ two lamp, parabolic louvered, lay-in fluorescent

fixtures. In Figure 5.1 this fixtures are designated by FR5. The solid circles on the plan show

the location of the sprinkler heads (not to be confused with downlights). The room contains

three way switching with four different alternatives of light configurations.

New Lighting Design

Figure 5.2 New Lighting Layout

This design would use a direct/indirect fixture and full spectrum fluorescent T8 lamps and

incandescent downlights in the front of the room. The specification sheets for both the fixtures

and lamps can be seen in Appendix D. The fluorescent lamps have a CRI of 85 and a color

temperature of 5000K. The lamp was selected because of these characteristics. Most daylight

bulbs are 6500K which leads to very blue light, which can be uncomfortable. Using a 5000K

bulb lowers the CRI slightly, although 85 is a very high CRI still. The full spectrum lamp at

5000K still produces enough blue light to reduce melatonin levels while reducing the harshness

of the brightness associated with the 6500K lamp. The direct/indirect lamps are tandem wired to

allow for more diversity in the light levels in the room. Incandescent downlights were added to

the front of the room because they provide better color rendering than fluorescents. They will

provide an area for viewing artwork while the fluorescent direct/indirect will provide a good area

for actually making artwork. Since both fluorescents and incandescent were used in the design

of the building the power options for both types of lamps is available. ASHRAE Standard 90.1-

2004 states that a classroom must be under 1.4 W/ft^2. With this new design the room is

approximately 1.37 W/ft^2. Very rarely will all these lamps be on.

Conclusions

Scientists at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and the University of Connecticut have

done many studies using 5000K natural lamps. In some cases people have liked the light color

they produce. In most cases, though, people have complained that they are still too bright (i.e.

they are too blue). Therefore it is recommended to use the same layout as given in the section

above but to use 4100K lamps (seen in Appendix D) with a CRI of 85. The incandescent lamps

will still be good for viewing artwork in the front of the room and should still be used.

6-Conclusions and Recommendations

Although, one always wants there results to come out as predicted it does not always happen that

way. It is recommended to use Enthalpy Wheels on this project to reduce the cooling cool load

as well as the peak kilowatt demand. The payback period on this investment is fairly high if you

only consider the kilowatt hour charges. Kilowatt demand will also be saved and will help make

this payback period more reasonable.

It is not recommended to use thermal storage on this project. The payback period is just too

high. This is due to the large first cost associated with the system. Thermal storage also uses

more energy overall in the long run, hurting the environment more. It is recommended to use 2—

350 ton chillers and 1—300 ton chiller instead of the 2—650 ton chillers. This will allow for an

initial first cost savings as well as an overall efficiency increase of the system. With this

increase in efficiency will come a reduction in operation costs.

Acoustically it is recommended to add “Echo Eliminator” panels to the walls in 1185 Library

and 2080 Conference. 1185 Library will greatly benefit from these panels being added. The

reverberation time will come down to an expectable level allowing for a comfortable working

environment. In 2080 Conference adding these panels will increase the speech intelligibility in

the room by reducing the echo in the room. Overall the cost for these panels is minuscule in

comparison to the overall project cost.

It is recommended to use direct/indirect lighting in the classrooms for less glaring light. This

will allow for a better art working environment. It is recommended to use the 4100K lamp over

the 5000K (natural Light) lamp. Both lamps have around the same CRI but the 5000K lamp

appears much bluer and may cause glare and may cause people to be uncomfortable from its

brightness. It is also recommended to add the incandescent downlights to help in art instruction,

as incandescent allow you to better view color and therefore artwork.

without the heating hours (the bins at which the sensible load is negative). The total sensible load

with the recovery wheel in the spread sheets that follow is not the sum of the column. It is the sum

of the sensible load with the enthalpy only when the enthalpy wheel is running and the load without

the enthalpy wheel when the wheel is off until you hit the heating. The sum only contains the

amount of cooling the system needs to do. Heating is assessed in a separate column.

Total Latent Load on Spreadsheet The total latent load on the cooling coil without the recovery wheel is the sum of the column without

the humidifying hours (the bins at which the latent load is negative). The total latent load with the

recovery wheel is not the sum of the column. It is the sum of the latent load with the enthalpy wheel

while the wheel is running plus the latent load without the enthalpy wheel while the wheel is off.

Humidifying is assessed in another column.

Note: Energy Recovery Wheels can heat and humidify but the amount needed depends on the mixed air conditions that occur when the outdoor air mixes with the return air. Also, in some bins the Energy Recovery Wheel can not take the full heating or humidifying load.

Energy Efficient VentilationThe NovelAire Technologies Energy Conservation Wheel(ECW) is a rotary counter flow air-to-air exchanger designed toprovide maximum energy efficiency in ventilated systems whereheated or cooled air is exhausted and outdoor air is introduced asmakeup. In applications where ventilation is required, energywheels are used to reduce the initial investment in HVAC equip-ment and to minimize operating costs. Since HVAC equipmentis typically the largest single source of energy consumption inresidential and commercial buildings, ECW investments are eco-nomically justified on most new and retrofit HVAC systems with15% or more outdoor air makeup. In new HVAC installations,ECWs also allow ventilated systems to be sized with smallercompressors, condensers, and other DX components, loweringthe first cost of the HVAC package.

➣ Improves indoor air quality

➣ Reduces the ventilation energy penalty

➣ Transfers both latent and sensible energy

➣ Lowers operating costs

➣ Lowers first costs on new installations

➣ Both winter and summer energy savings

Improve Indoor Air QualityVentilation accomplishes several objectives: (1) It purges theconditioned space of unwanted pollutants such as organic vapors,dust, radon, etc. and, (2) It purges the space of unwanted prod-ucts of human activity such as tobacco smoke, carbon dioxide,bacteria, and germs.

Poor indoor air quality has been directly associated with the “sickbuilding syndrome”, a condition that can result in high illnessrates, absenteeism, and productivity decreases. Consequently,design engineers are becoming increasingly aware of the need todesign proper air quality into HVAC systems.

The ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 (Ventilation for AcceptableIndoor Air Quality), describes a recommended target ratio ofmakeup air to return air for a variety of application and buildingtypes. Building codes in the U.S. and abroad are becomingincreasingly more comprehensive in addressing ventilationrequirements. Architects and engineers are, with increasing fre-quency, including greater amounts of fresh air makeup in theirHVAC systems, and are doing so without a significant energypenalty by including exhaust air energy recovery.

The NovelAire ECW is designed to provide for all season venti-lation, providing acceptable IAQ year-round, normally withoutthe expense of additional HVAC-direct expansion capacity andwith minimal extra energy costs.

ECW Features and BenefitsNovelAire ECWs are constructed of our unique corrugatedsynthetic fiber-based media impregnated with a non-migrat-ing water selective molecular sieve desiccant. The fiber anddesiccant, intimately bound together in our process, formsheets with excellent heat and mass transfer properties whichare corrugated and spirally wound into wheels. Unlike othermedia, the desiccant is uniformly and permanently dispersedthroughout the matrix structure in contrast to being coated,bonded, or synthesized onto the matrix, and thus is not sus-ceptible to delamination or erosion of the desiccant material.

➣ Homogenous media- not coated or bonded will not delaminate

➣ Synthetic wheel media is completely corrosion resistant

➣ Synthetic wheel media maximizes desiccant loading

➣ Unitary wheel construction maximizes face flatness

➣ Fluted geometry minimizes internal cross leakage

➣ Molecular sieve desiccant reduces cross contamination

➣ Wheel is completely water washable

➣ ECWs offered in 4” or 6” deep wheels for single unit airvolumes of 500-45,000 cfm.

➣ Tough wheel face resists damage

ECW Cassettes➣ Heavy duty galvanized steel construction with

removable side panels

➣ No-maintenance bearings standard on small cassettes

➣ Flanged outboard bearings used on larger cassettes

➣ Full contact brush seals minimizes leakage

➣ Adjustable purge section reduces cross contamination

➣ AC drive motor with Power Twist link belt

➣ Optional variable speed drive motor available

Note: detailed ECW wheel and cassette specifications andsoftware selection programs are available for download atwww.novelaire.com

Performance Certification NovelAire ECWs are UL tested and are a UL recognizedcomponent for heat recovery ventilators and other HVACequipment.

NovelAire ECWs are ARI certified using the 84-1991ASHRAE standard (Method of Testing rotary Air-to-AirHeat Exchangers) and ARI Standard 1060 (RatingAir-to-Air Energy Recovery Equipment).

Frost ProtectionDuring extremely cold winter time conditions, frost forma-tion becomes a possibility in the exhaust air stream. Frostformation on the wheel will basically act to plug or reduceair flow but will not hurt the wheel itself.

In practice several types of frost prevention are employed;heating return air, heating outdoor air, variable speed con-trol, and air bypass. NovelAire generally recommends pre-heating outdoor air to keep exhaust air from freezing. Wheelspeed control works to limit frost formation by reducingwheel performance to a level where the exhaust air tempera-ture is kept above the dew point.

ECW SelectionNovelAire offers a software selection program available bydownload at its website www.novelaire.com. The followingexample shows the basic concepts for selecting ECWs for abalanced system (Air Ratio = 1.0). For calculations usingunbalanced Air Ratios (>1.0), please refer to our softwareprogram or contact the factory for assistance.

I. Example:Design parameters: outdoor: 4500 cfm, 95˚F dry bulb, 75° wet bulb,99 grains (0.0142lbmoisture/lbdry air)

return: 4500 cfm, 75˚F dry bulb, 62.5° wet bulb, 64 grains(0.00914lbmoisture/lbdry air)

Air Ratio (A.R.): 1.0, balanced flow.

A selection can be made as follows:

Size Determination:If unit size is a limitation in your package, first refer to theEngineering Detail Table at the back of the brochure to identify theappropriate cassette size for your application.

For the purpose of this example, let’s assume that you choose anECW544. At 4,500 cfm, from the plot featuring the model numbers,going down vertically along the line of constant face velocity yieldsresulting pressure drop (here: .96 inches of water). Since both sup-ply and return flows are equal, refer to the plot immediately abovethe model number plot along the same face velocity vertical line toread directly the latent, total and sensible effectivenesses for themodel wanted. In the present case:

latent effectiveness: 71.5%total effectiveness: 73.5%sensible effectiveness: 75.2%

II. Exact Determination of Supply andExhaust Air Conditions:This section shows how a detailed picture of all incoming andoutgoing flows can be derived from the examples above. Theeffectivenesses shown in our plots are accurately described by thefollowing equations:

Where:

� = sensible, latent, or total heat effectiveness;X = dry bulb temperature for sensible effectiveness, humidity ratio

for latent effectiveness, total enthalpy for total effectiveness;= mass flow rate of the exhaust, mass of dry air per unit time;= mass flow rate of the supply, mass of dry air per unit time;= minimum value of either mass flow rate;

Going back to the above Example, we can calculate the supply airconditions. The dry bulb temperature is assessed by using the sensibleeffectiveness:

Similarly, the humidity of the supply air flow is calculated using thelatent effectiveness:

The supply conditions are therefore completely defined as:

Dry bulb temperature: 80.0˚F

Humidity: 74 grains of moisture per pound of dry air
