Re: Chilled Water FCU Tests
Dear Munesh,
I think you would like to acertain the capacity of the FCU for air conditioning application.
FCUs are normally cross flow type heat exchangers and you can simply define the capacity by heat balance equation.
1. Water Side: Q(W)=Mass Flow Rate of water X Sp.Heat X Temp. Diff. of water at inlet & Outlet
2. Air Side: Q(A)= Mass Flow Rate of Air X Enthalpy Diff. of air at inlet & outlet.
3. See that Q(W) equals Q(A) for perfect design.

Re: Chilled Water FCU Tests
Thanks for your reply. I came to know of various tests but need to ascertain how these are carried out.
I) Air Volume Test
II) Cooling & Heating Capacity Test
III) Condensation Test
IV) Dielectric Test
V) Insulation Resistance Test
VI) Sound Level Test
VII) Vibration Test
VIII) Protection Devices test
Can anyone help me with how these can be conducted, Any special equipment or testing device required etc.

Re: Chilled Water FCU Tests
I could Lay hands on
Dielectric Test: Measures Current Leak when the phase and neutral are short circuited
Insulation test: Measures resistance wheh the phase and neutral are short circuited. Measured with a megometer. Measurements in Ohmic values.
Any additions

Re: Chilled Water FCU Tests
I) Air Volume Test
Test rig comprising ductwork to simulate actual duct resistance. Airflow measured via pitot-static tube and manometer.
II) Cooling & Heating Capacity Test
Lots of thermometers ?
III) Condensation Test
Stop watch, liquid measuring scale, psychrometric chart.
IV) Dielectric Test
V) Insulation Resistance Test
VI) Sound Level Test
Sound level meter and testing chamber.
VII) Vibration Test
Test bed and vibration analysis meter.
VIII) Protection Devices test
What sort of devices are you meaning?Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK
