# Industrial Specification: HVAC Unit

## 1. Technical Definition
A self-contained system for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning that regulates indoor environmental conditions.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-1.5 MPa (5-15 bar) refrigerant pressure, -20°C to 60°C ambient temperature, 85-265 VAC input voltage**. Failure boundary: **Compressor discharge pressure exceeding 2.5 MPa (25 bar), evaporator coil temperature dropping below -10°C, refrigerant subcooling below 3°C**, Mechanism: **Compressor mechanical failure due to liquid refrigerant slugging (refrigerant density &gt; 500 kg/m³ entering compressor), evaporator coil freeze-up from insufficient airflow (&lt; 0.03 m³/s per kW cooling), capacitor dielectric breakdown at &gt;450 VDC**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **LMTD Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference**:

> **Primary Equation**: $Q = U \cdot A \cdot \Delta T_{lm}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Sizing validation for pasteurization and cooling tunnels.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| U | Heat Transfer Coeff | Engineering Constant |
| A | Area | Engineering Constant |
| \Delta T_{lm} | LMTD | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Refrigerant undercharge below 80% of design charge (e.g., 1.2 kg instead of 1.5 kg R-410A) | 8 | Compressor overheating to &gt;120°C causing thermal overload trip | Install refrigerant charge indicator with 0.1 kg resolution and automatic shutdown at 85% minimum charge |
| Condenser coil fouling exceeding 0.5 mm particulate accumulation | 8 | High head pressure &gt;2.0 MPa (20 bar) triggering pressure cut-out | Implement self-cleaning condenser with 30 μm filtration and differential pressure monitoring (&gt;50 Pa triggers cleaning cycle) |
