How do you calculate the size of an air conditioner for a switch gear room?

Same as any other room with one possible exception, determine the present heat load in the room but also allow for any future heat generating equipment you may install there and that is what you buy. Bearing in mind you do not want to grossly oversize the initial install allowing for equipment that is 10 years away. Better to make provisions such as installing the curb and ductwork for a second unit now but actually wait on installing and commisioning the unit until the new equipment arrives. Otherwise just buy what you need for now either way the calculation is the same equipment = heat load. The literature on the switchgear should provide the heat load information.

Why would You have water dripping out of out central air unit?
This is water that has condensed out of the room air on the evaporator coils of the air conditioner, and it is completely normal. If the humidity is high, one will see more water condensing and dripping from the air conditioner than when the room air is dry.
Why does an air conditioner needs an exhaust?
The undesired hot air needs to be put out of the room your trying to cool.

Heat is measured in either British Thermal Units (BTU) or Kilowatts (KW). 1KW is equivalent to 3412BTUs.The heat load depends on a number of factors, by taking into account those that apply in your circumstances and adding them together a reasonably accurate measure of the total heat can be calculated.Factors include:The floor area of the roomThe size and position of windows, and whether they have blinds or shadesThe number of room occupants (if any)The heat generated by equipmentThe heat generated by lightingFloor Area of RoomThe amount of cooling required depends on the area of the room. To calculate the area in square metres:Room Area BTU = Length (m) x Width (m) x 337Window Size and PositionIf, your room has no windows, you can ignore this part of the calculation. If, however there are windows you need to take the size and orientation into account.South Window BTU = South Facing window Length (m) x Width (m) x 870North Window BTU = North Facing windows Length (m) x Width (m) x 165If there are no blinds on the windows multiply the result(s) by 1.5.Add together all the BTUs for the windows.Windows BTU = South Window(s) BTU + North Window(s) BTUOccupantsYou will have to take that into account people who normally working in the space. The heat output is around 400 BTU per person.Total Occupant BTU = Number of occupants x 400EquipmentClearly most heat in a room is generated by the equipment. This is trickier to calculate that you might think. The wattage on equipment is the maximum power consumption rating, the actual power consumed may be less. However it is probably safer to overestimate the wattage than underestimate it.Equipment BTU = Total wattage for all equipment x 3.5LightingTake the total wattage of the lighting and multiply by 4.25.Lighting BTU = Total wattage for all lighting x 4.25Total Cooling RequiredAdd all the BTUs together.Total Heat Load = Room Area BTU + Windows BTU + Total Occupant BTU + Equipment BTU + Lighting BTU This is the amount of cooling required so you need one or more air conditioning units to handle that amount of heat.Linkage DisequilibriumSoftware for linkage disequilibrium analysis.

Are fire sprinklers required in electrical switch gear rooms per electrical codes and if present are they required to be removed?
This is a building code question, not an electrical code question. In my experience, switch gear rooms are protected by sprinklers just as any other room. I know that doesn't sound right, but it is what it is.

Room Air Conditioner...........
Is it better to leave your air conditioning running all the time - or to switch it on and off as necessary?
Your air conditioner should have a built in thermostat and cycle as necessary. The air conditioner takes a little while to reach peak efficiency. Once the room is cooled it will cycle on and off as necessary. If you manually cycle the air conditioner, you are greatly reducing its efficiency.

Where is the switch allowed to be placed in the bathroom?
In North America the switch can be placed either inside the room or outside the room. When it is inside the room it is placed on the opening side of the door so that when you enter the room, the switch can be flipped on. When the switch is located on the outside of the room a convenient placement is close to the door opening so that when you open the door the switch can be turned on in one continuous motion.
