Q4) (b)

Calculate the energy consumed in one month for following conditions: COP of air-conditioning unit: 5; Capacity of air conditioner: 2 TR; No of air conditioners: 8; All air conditioners run for 4 hours/day.

Given data:
COP = 5
Q = 2 TR = 2 × 3.5 = 7 kW
No. of conditioners = 8
t = 4  hrday
 
Calculate:
 
energy consumed in one month = ?
 
Solution:
 
COP = Q W (power input) 
 
W = Q COP  = 7 × 8  5  = 11.2 kW
 
energy consumed in one month = Power × no. of hours days = 11.2 × 4 × 30
 
energy consumed in one month = 1344 kWhr
