1.1 Introduction
Level 2 laboratory activities refer to the condition where only the problem is
guided and given. Students are required to find the ways and means and
provide the answers to the given assignment using the group creativity and
innovativeness. The activity will enable the students to appreciate independent
learning and prepare them for much harder task of Open Ended Laboratory
activities.
1.2 Objectives
The objective of this activity is:
1. To explain the basic components of an AC system.
2. To understand the basic operation, concepts and principles of an AC
system.
PREAMBLE 3. To demonstrate the operating system of air cooling in an AC system.
4. To determine the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of an Air
Conditioner.

LABORATORY MANUAL
When two objects at different temperatures are placed next to each other,
heat will flow from the warmer of the two objects to the cooler one. The rate at
which heat is transferred depends on how large the difference is between their
temperatures. This is the principle applied in Split Air Conditioning Model. An
air conditioner does not cool the air, but rather, removes the heat from a
confined space. The refrigeration cycle of the air conditioning system transfer
the heat from indoor space to outdoor space.
3.1 Apparatus
The group must identify the availability of the chosen apparatus in the lab
before the right procedures can be identified.
3.2 Procedures
The group is required to find their own approach and search for the relevant
WAYS & MEANS information to prepare procedures in order to do the investigation related to the
objectives and problems mentioned above. Any safety precautions of
conducting the laboratory activities need to be highlighted in the procedure.
3.3 Data Acquisition
The group is required to observe the mechanism of the AC system. All data
collected and observed during the lab activities must be tabulate in proper
format for easy verification and presentation of the technical report.
