Abstract

Laboratory-based play a crucial assessment to institution of higher learning especially engineering technology programme. Simulated laboratories changing the nature of laboratory activities, and there is a long-running debate about the value of hands-on versus simulated laboratories. Hands-on advocates emphasize design skills, while simulated laboratories advocates focus on conceptual understanding. Interest in simulated laboratories versus hands-on has increased based on two factors; advance in technology and cost pressure. Educational goals of hands-on laboratories activities focus in conceptual understanding, professional skills, design skills and social skills, but not all the equipment give the professional skill to the students. Many of equipment has design and build to explain the conceptual understanding only, because of that this paper present Development of HVAC Virtual Laboratory (HV-Lab); Recirculation Air Conditioning System Training Unit (RACSTU) using MATLAB/Simulink. RACSTU located at Fundamental HVAC Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). The HV-Lab system was design as the laboratory experimental setup. General equations were defined separately for each state of air properties in RACSTU then experimental were conducted based on fifteen (15) different cases. Using these equations and experimental data MATLAB/Simulink models for every state of air properties were created. The MATLAB/Simulink models were combined and verified with experimental results. The simulation results show that the experimental results are compatible with experimental results for each state
