Introduction
• Indian has five distinct climatic zones with wide variance
• HVAC ratings have direct dependence on weather conditions. • Presently HVAC systems in India are rated as per AHRI standards.
•Outdoor Rating conditions based on DBT (air cooled) & WBT(water cooled)
Introduction……..Contd.
• Rating condition should be country specific – recommendations by ISO 19289 for rating of HVAC equipments • European countries have separate standard (Eurovent 14511) even with marginal difference with AHRI standards (550/590)

• Oriental countries; China, Japan, Malaysia etc have their own standards based on their climatic conditions.
• Chiller standards for Indian climatic conditions……… An emergent need.

Objectives of the study
To check the suitability of prevailing rating condition (AHRI) for HVAC equipments with respect to Indian climatic conditions.
Identification of a representative city(s) through statistical analysis of weather data for different climatic zones.
5
Methodology
Weather data analysis of prominent cities : All climatic zones.
ISHARE weather data considered in analysis.
Identification of Representative cities for each climatic zone.- Through statistical analysis- Criteria as per GOI classification for cities.- Metro/larger city considered.
6
Methods … Weather analysis
Wide variance observed in weather profiles within the zones and in cities within the same zone.
Zones; Warm & humid and composite covers more number of large cities -Additional representative cities identified for such zones

Summary: Observations
Coverage of percentage of total hrs/yr at particular temperature condition different for each representative cities.
on an average basis AHRI rating conditions for air cooled chiller covers only 95.33% of total hrs in a year.
With urban heat island (UHI) consideration of 3OC, the AHRI condition would come to 32OC cover only 86.82% of total hrs in a year.
13
Conclusion
Analytical status underline the variance of temperature condition compared to existing rating condition for chillers (Air cooled). WBT rating condition for water cooled chiller is suitable as per Indian climatic conditions.
Any further increment of temperature would increase coverage of hrs.
There is need to revise the prevailing rating condition according the Indian climatic condition

Future work
Extending the study for unitary air condition system/other HVAC equipments
Revision of the part load coefficients
