I am a B.Sc senior student of mechanical engineering, and I am undertaking my final project in the field of air conditioning, I have to choose the better air conditiong system ( Air-cooled Vs. water-cooled ) for a hotel with the following data : Cooling capacity: 1000 TR. Surrounding temp.: D.B: 35=BAC (=3D95=BAF), W.B.: 26=BAC (=3D79=BAF). The whole air conditioning system will contain 4 units 250 TR each. The number of the warmest days in which the system will not be able to supply 100% of the required cooling load is five days, in which ( these five days ) the system will supply only 80% of the required cooling load. How do I estimate the diversity factor and how it affects my decision on choosing the type of the system (Air-cooled Or water-cooled)? A definition of the diversity factor can be found at:
