INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIZATION
HISTORY
The Company celebrated its centenary in 1997. In 1897 a young man named
Ardeshir Godrej gave up law and turned to lock making. Ardeshir went on to make
safes and security equipment of the highest order and then stunned the world by
creating toilet soap from vegetable oil. His brother Pirojsha Godrej carried
Ardeshir's dream forward, leading Godrej towards becoming a vibrant multi-product
enterprise. Pirojsha laid the foundation for the sprawling industrial garden township
now called Pirojshanagar in the suburbs of Mumbai. GODREJ touches the lives of
millions of Indians every day. To them, it is a symbol of enduring ideals in a
changing world.
The company has come a long way since 1897 & is celebrated its cenetary
year. While the company is successful in India, earning more than 200 million in foreign
exchange. It also has mfg. units in Indonesia, Malayasia & Singapore .As of today its
main works are located in Vikhroli. It has also shifted base to Pune, Mohali & Chennai.
COMPANY LAYOUT
INTRODUCTION
GODREJ Company was established in the year 1897 by Sheth Ardeshir
Burjorji Godrej. The purpose of its inception was to provide service to security when the
founder painted by the ample resources draining out of the country, felt the need of the
nations self dependent. The very first product of their colossal national establishment
was lock. These were developed to perfection by initially experimenting & gradually
devising improvement on imported ones.
YESTERDAY….
The Godrej Story began in 1897 when Ardeshir Burjorji Godrej, a lawyer
stepped into the Manufacturing industry by producing high quality surgical instruments.
These were so good that a reputed pharmacist wanted to sell them under a foreign brand
name. Ardeshir Godrej rejected the offer and decided to manufacture the best locks in
the world. And so it was. The locks were followed by safes & both product, by virtue
other superior quality were held in highest esteem by all.
If Ardeshir was the artist who began the painting, then it was his younger
brother, Pirojsha Godrej who enlarged the canvas to a stunning & rewarding proportion.
He possessed the rare foresight to buy land at Vikhroli, which today houses the diverse
Godrej Enterprises & is anonymously named Pirojshanager in memory of the man who
made it an Eden of productivity.
TODAY….
The company has come a long way since 1897 & celebrated its centenary
year in 1997. As for today, main works of the company is located at Vikhroli, Mumbai,
along the eastern express highway. This complex in Pirojshanagar, today houses the
different manufacturing units. The Company is one of the largest privately-held
diversified industrial corporations in India. The combined Sales (including Excise Duty)
of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, during the Fiscal Year ended March 31,
2004, amounted to about Rs. 45,000 million (US$ 980 million).
TOMORROW….
While the company has been greeted with great success in India, the
products of the company together annually earn more than 200 million rupees in foreign
-exchange. The company also has mfg. units in Indonesia, Singapore & Malaysia. Its
major trust now is in the white goods sector. In order to cater to the increasing demand,
land has been acquired in northern India as well. The future lies in tomorrow in every
new assignment, in the smile of satisfied client. The GODREJ logo, which is devised
from PIROJSHA GODREJ'S signature, is nothing but Godrej's promise of superior
quality & unmatched service, & assurance signed in steel.

ASSIGNMENT NO: 02
The application for industrial purpose has opened a new area in the air-
conditioning industry. The air-conditioning is commonly used now a day for the
preservation of food in automobiles and railway, jute and cloth industries and many
others. Its varied application has opened a new field for the air-conditioning engineers to
solve the problems with full success. Air-conditioning is commonly used to ease mans
environmental problems on earth and in a space.
placed on a priority list by the Government of India and national panel has been formed
to plan it development.
Relative Humidity:
It is ratio of actual amount of moisture present in one unit volume of dry
air at certain temperature to amount of moisture needed to saturate it at that temperature
is called as relative humidity.
Absolute Humidity:
It is mass of water vapour present unit volume of dry air. It is expressed in
kg/ m3 of dry air.
Specific Humidity:
It is the mass of water vapour present in 1kg of dry air. It is expressed as
kg/kg of dry air.
Saturation Temperature:
Enthalpy:
Latent Heat:
Latent heat is the heat added or removed from a substance, which causes
change of state but without change in temperature.
Sensible Heat:
Sensible heat is the heat added or removed from a substance, which results
in change of temperature.
Super Heat:
Sub Cooling:
If the liquid portion is separated from the vapour portion and is cooled, then
any removal of heat will lower its temperature than the saturation temperature
corresponding to the pressure. The temperature drop is sub-cooling and the liquid is
called sub-cooled liquid.
Ton of Refrigerant:
One ton of refrigerant is equal to the amount of heat removed from one ton
of water at 0°c to ice at 0°c within a period of 24 hrs.
be described as follow.
Since the high pressure liquid refrigerant encounters a restriction when passing
through the metering device, the pressure on the exit side of the device is relatively low,
and the liquid boils at a temperature indicated in the pressure / temperature chart.
In order for the liquid to change state, it must absorb heat from its heat from its
surroundings. The liquid refrigerant, passing through a series of coils called as
evaporator, causes the temperature of coils to decreases. The airflow through the
evaporator provides the heat necessary to vaporize the refrigerant. When the refrigerant,
now in gaseous state, leaves the evaporator, it returns to the suction of the compressor
where the cycle repeats.
This is the simplest form of air conditioning system inside a casing suitable
for installation on windows or wall opening. The assembly incorporates a refrigeration
unit and a double shaft fan motor with fans mounted on either side of motor, one on the
evaporator side and other on the condenser side respectively. The room (or cooling) side
and the outdoor (or heat rejection) side of the unit are separated by an insulated partition
within the casing. The front panel with supply – and return –air grills and a door/opening
to get access to the control/operating panel on the unit face, is attached to the unit front at
the room side. The other components on the room (or indoor) side of the unit are, the
cooling coil with air filters mounted on it, the centrifugal evaporator blower, the
operating panel consist of selector switches, thermostat, knobs for fresh air and the
condensate drip and drain tray bellow the cooling coil. The outdoor side of the unit has a
compressor, condenser coil, fan motor and propeller for the air-cooled condenser. The
supply air grill on the front has adjustable horizontal louvers for adjusting the direction of
air up and down or horizontally. Vertical adjustable louvers are also provided in many
models to adjust sideways flow of air. The distribution of the cool and dehumidified
supply air to the room thus can be finely adjusted. Motorized (vertical deflectors are also
fitted in some of the air flow continuously to provide uniform distribution. The system
the consist of: the refrigerant system, the control system (thermostat and selector switch),
electrical protection system (motor overload switch and winding protection thermostat on
the compressor motor), Air circulation system (fan motor, centrifugal evaporator blower
and propeller fan for air- cooled condenser) and ventilation (fresh air damper) and
exhaust system. The refrigerant used is R12 or R22.
The evaporator fan sucks the air from the room to be conditioned through
the air filter and the cooling coil of refrigerant unit and delivers the cool and
dehumidified air back to the room. This air mixes with the room air and brings down the
temperature and humidity levels in the room to maintain the comfortable condition. Fresh
air is admitted through a damper and is mixed with the return air before passing it over
the air filter and the cooling coil. The filter mounted in front of the cooling coil, in
addition to the filtering the room air- fresh air mixture also helps to keep the cooling coil
fins and the tube surfaces clean to obtain optimum heat transfer capacity from the coil.
By incorporating a reversing valve, the unit can be used for heating the room during the
winter.
This can be considered as bigger version of the room air conditioners and
are used for air conditioning loads beyond the capacity range of the room air
conditioners. They are available in the nominal capacities of 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15 tonne.
Like the room air conditioner, the package unit also houses the air filtering, cooling-
dehumidifying and air handling components and is factory assembled. Components for
heating and humidifying can also be included within the unit. The condenser can be of
water cooled type or the air-cooled type. The water-cooled type can be completely
factory assembled, charged (with refrigerant) and tested. Thus the laying of the
refrigerant piping, pressure/leak testing, evacuation, charging, etc. need not have to be
carried out in the field. This not only reduces the field labour, but also ensures the cleaner
system, being assembled in factory with the strict quality procedures.
the inside surfaces of all the panels of the units for insulation. These mats also act as a
acoustic treatment to reduce noise level from the unit. A thermostat with its sensing bulb
is provided to cycle the compressor as per the setting desired. High/ low-pressure switch,
overload relays for all the motor, water flow and air flow switches are provided in the
units.
The condensing unit (compressor with its drive motor and condenser) is
located in the plant room separated from air-conditioned space and air handling unit. The
air handling unit room is as far as possible, may contiguous with air-conditioned area. In
case Air Handling Unit has to be located away from the air-conditioned space, a duct will
have to be provided to carry the return air through the air-conditioned area to the Air
Handling Unit. Both the supply and return air duct has to be insulated, as they will have
to pass through non-conditioned areas. Hence the Air Handling Unit should be in
contiguous with the conditioned room.
• DX SYSTEM
The compressor and condenser (or condenser unit) of the refrigeration
plant are located in a plant room near the air-handling unit room. The cooling coil of the
refrigeration plant is fixed in the AHU. The suction and liquid lines connects the
condensing unit to the cooling coil. The compressor can be of the open or the semi-
hermetic type. In the case of the water-cooled system, the water-cooled condenser is
fitted to a structural steel framework on which the compressor and the motor are also
mounted, thus forming a compact condensing unit. In the air-cooled system, the air-
cooled condenser coil with its fan and fan motor can be located in the plant room if
sufficient area is available to allow for free flow of outside air for the air-cooled
condenser. It can also be fixed outside the plant room. The thermostatic expansion valve
is provided quite close to the cooling coil.
water lines of the water–cooled condensers also as a safety control. Chillers can be of the
dry expansion (DX) or of the flooded types. Tank and coil arrangement connected to a
condensing unit is also used at times for producing chilled water. A typical layout of
central air conditioning plant with chiller system is shown in the fig.
flowing through the chilled water lines and also by being worked upon ()pumped) by the
pump. Due of to this heat gain, there will be a slight rise in the temperature of the chilled
water during its flow from the chiller water outlet point to the inlet port of the cooling
coil and again from the outlet point of the cooling coil to the pump and then to the water
inlet port of the chiller. The temperature rise due to this heat gain will be extremely small
for example for a 80 ton chilled water system with about 100 to 150 meters of chilled
water lines insulated with 50 mm thick insulation material, the temperature rise due to
transmission and pump horsepower will be around 0.15º to 0.2ºC(0.25º to 0.35ºF). Also
the system consumes extra power for operating the chilled water pump, which is not the
case in DX plant. Further, the chiller package has to operate at a lower evaporating
temperature (i.e. lower suction pressures) than the DX system to maintain the required
chilled water temperature in the cooling coil, resulting in reduced plant capacity yet
consuming more energy to pump from the lower suction pressure to the same discharge
pressure thus the Bhp/TR goes up.
In the DX system however, the distance and height difference between the
condensing unit and cooling coil (i.e. air-handling unit) has to be kept to the minimum to
limit the adverse effect of pressure drop in the interconnecting refrigerant piping on the
capacity of the plant. If the condensing unit is at a lower level than that of the air-
handling unit, the effect of the height difference will be more pronounced in the liquid
line. The liquid pressure will have a pressure drop in lifting the mass of refrigerant liquid
against gravity, up the vertical height of the liquid line. The pressure drop will be 0.12
kg/cm2 per meter (0.5 psi/foot) of vertical lift of R-22 and 0.13 kg/cm2 per meter (0.55
psi/foot) of vertical lift in R-12 systems. With higher pressure drop in the liquid line,
flash gas is formed, which impedes the continuous flow of liquid in the line, thus
affecting the capacity of the plant.
If the condensing unit is at a much higher level that the air-handling unit, oil
movement up the suction line riser can become poor, resulting in oil return problems. To
overcome this, suction line of smaller diameter is used. However this in turn results in
higher pressure drop in suction line and consequent reduction in plant capacity. Therefore
in DX plants, the distance and height difference between the condensing unit and air-
handling unit will have to be kept small. In multi-storied or widely spread-out buildings,
due to structural limitations it necessitates laying of long lengths of refrigerant piping
with plenty of joints. Hence the pressure drop in the lines can increase. Moreover with
large number of joints, the possibility of refrigerant leakage is also increased. Hence a
DX system is not suited for such installations. For such cases central chilled water
systems offers the best selection.
Though chilled water system requires more power per unit of refrigeration
(KW/ton), the system offers plenty of flexibility in selection, layout and operation. The
chiller packages can be located in a central plant room, away from the air-conditioned
space. The air-handling units too can be located at convenient locations at each zone/area
and interconnected to the chiller packages with chilled water lines. Multiple chiller
packages interconnected on the water sides (chilled water as well as well condenser water
systems) can be used for high loads. For loads exceeding 200 ton water chilling packages
with centrifugal compressors can be used, here again in multiples for handling higher
loads.
malfunction / problem. The data collection starts only after the system stabilizes after the
start. Problems are identified and pointed out, while they are actually occurring and still
minor, thus enabling easy and early rectification. Monitors time of each equipment and
points out preventive maintenance schedule.
Sequencing operation of chiller package. Chiller package gives highest efficiency
while working on full load. So the optimal combination of chiller packages is selected to
meet the prevailing load. For instance, in a system of one 150TR chiller and two chillers
of 300TR each, the combination of each chillers are automatically selected and started
to meet the prevailing load, e.g. to meet a load of about 600TR, two of the 300TR chillers
are put on line or for a load of 450TR, one 300TR and 150TR chillers are started.
Management of Electrical Load: The equipments are put off when building is not
occupied-this is the simplest of energy management. An important function is ‘electrical
demand limiting’ by putting of selective non-essential equipments when the demand
target tends to get down. It provides historical data, which becomes quite valuable in
trouble shooting.
Security Alarm System: Displays the floor plan diagram-helps the security personal to
trace the movement of the intruder.
Man Power Saving: Eliminates the tedium of manually recording the operating data in
log sheets periodically.
Normally the operator has to move over to all the areas of the building to read and
record operating data (readings) manually, in the process mistake can creep in
reading/recording and further the time taken to cover the full building may be too long in
large buildings and so simultaneous reading of all data is not possible-that meant the true
picture of the operation does not get reflected when abnormal condition can be missed for
long period of time i.e. the rounds of the operator. With a BMS all these tedious,
inaccuracies, delays, loss of precious time, etc are completely eliminated and strength of
manpower too gets drastically reduced.
The basic equipment uses in the air conditioning cycle are as follows:
Compressor
Condenser
Throttling devices.
Evaporator
3.6.1. COMPRESSORS
These are used to compress the vapour refrigerant from the evaporator
and to vary its pressure so that the corresponding saturation temperature is higher than
that of the cooling medium. They also do the function of circulating the refrigerant in the
entire system. The different types of compressors as follows:
1. Reciprocating Compressors:
2. Rotary Compressor:
Screw Type Compressor
Vane Type Compressor
Roller Type Compressor
3. Dynamic Compressor:
Centrifugal Compressor
Axial Compressor
Single stage compressor can be either used for water-cooled or air cooled
applications. This is because of the compression ratio. Single stage compressor are
normally suitable for evaporative temperature of around 30°C with condensing
temperature of +40°C to +45°C in case of the halocarbons such as R-22; the compressor
used for air conditioning application can’t normally go below (-5°C) evaporating to 60°C.
These are one suitable for air-cooled applications.
3.6.2. CONDENSER
The condenser is the important device in the high pressure side of the
refrigeration system. The function of the condenser is to desuperheat the high-pressure
gas, condense it and also sub-cool the liquid. Heat from the hot refrigerant is rejected in
the condenser to the condensing medium, i.e. air or water. The hot vapour refrigerant
consists of the heat absorbed by the evaporator and the heat of compression added by the
mechanical energy of the compressor motor. The heat from the hot vapour refrigerant in
the condenser is removed first by transferring it to the walls of the condenser tubes and
then from the tubes to the condensing or cooling medium. The cooling medium can be air
or water or combination of the two. The different types of condensers are as below.
Forced-Air Type
1. It reduces the high-pressure liquid refrigerant to low pressure liquid refrigerant before
being fed to the evaporator.
2. It maintains the desired pressure difference between the high and the low-pressure
sides of the system, so the liquid refrigerant vaporizes at the desired pressure in the
evaporator.
3. It controls the flow of the liquid refrigerant according to the load on the evaporator.
The different types of throttling devices used are:
A) Capillary Tube
Feller tube
Pb
PS PS
Diaphragm
To Evaporator
Valve Seat
Valve Needle
Spring
3.6.4. EVAPORATORS
boiling: such a system is called the direct expansion system. In certain cases, such as in
big air conditioning systems or in industrial processing, water or brine is chilled in the
evaporator. The chilled fluid is circulated through copper or steel coils over which the air
or substance to be cooled is passed. Such a system is called the indirect system.
Evaporators are generally classified into two main categories as mentioned
bellow.
1. Water piping
2. Refrigerant piping
3. Return/supply Ducts
4. Water pumps
5. Oil separator
6. Insulation
7. Filters electrical equipments
8. Thermostat
9. Cooling Tower
1. The quantity of air to be distributed to the various room, wings, or building should be
in proportion to the load in the respective region.
2. It is advisable to have the temperature difference between the room air and supply air
to be around 8.5°c (15°f). If this difference is greater, it is likely to create an
uncomfortable cold draft wherever the supply air descends to the occupied level before it
has the chance to mix with the room air and rise in temperature.
3. The supply air emerging out of the outlet or grill should be directed such that it does
not create unpleasant draft at the occupant level, say below a 2m height
4. Air passing through the ducts and coming out of the ducts and coming out of an outlet
can produce objectionable noise, if the velocity is high. In offices residential building,
hotel, etc. where the nominal noise level will be otherwise low, the velocity of air in the
ducts and outlet has to be kept low.
5. The throw of the air should be well calculated. It depends on the velocity of air and
height of the supply outlet. It increases with the velocity and height of the supply outlet
from the floor level. The desirable throw is about three-forth of the distance from the
outlet to the opposite wall or to the center line of the hall where the supply ducts and the
outlets are provided on the either side of the hall.
CLASSIFICATION OF DUCTS
