Bryant manual SELECTION PROCEDURE WITH 580J*07A EXAMPLE1, I.Determine cooling and heating loads

SELECTION PROCEDURE (WITH 580J*07A EXAMPLE)1

580J

I.Determine cooling and heating loads.

Given:
Mixed air dry bulb	80_F (27_C)
Mixed air wet bulb	67_F (19_C)
Ambient dry bulb	95_F (35_C)
TCLoad	72.0 MBH
SHCLoad	54.0 MBH
Vertical supply air	2100 CFM
Heating load	85.0 MBH
External static pressure	0.67 in. wg
Electrical characteristics	230-3-60

II.Make an initial guess at cooling tons.

Refrig. tons = TCLoad / 12 MBH per ton Refrig. tons = 72.0 / 12 = 6.0 tons

In this case, start by looking at the 580J**07.

III.Look up the rooftop’s TC and SHC.

Table 15 shows that, at the application’s supply air CFM, mixed air and ambient temperatures, the 580J*07A supplies:

TC = 73.7 MBH2 SHC = 54.4 MBH2

IV. Calculate the building latent heat load.

LCLoad = TCLoad - SHCLoad

LCLoad = 72.0 MBH - 54.0 MBH = 18.0 MBH

V.Calculate RTU latent heat capacity.

LC = TC - SHC

LC = 73.7 MBH - 54.4 MBH = 19.3 MBH

VI. Compare RTU capacities to loads.3

Compare the rooftop’s SHC and LC to the building’s sensible and latent heat loads.

LEGEND

BHP	— Brake horsepower
FLA	— Full load amps
LC	— Latent capacity
LRA	— Lock rotor amp
MBH	— (1,000) BTUH
MCA	— Min. circuit ampacity
MOCP	— Max. over---current protection
RPM	— Revolutions per minute
RTU	— Rooftop unit
SHC	— Sensible heat capacity
TC	— Total capacity

VII. Select factory options (FIOP)

Local code requires an economizer for any unit with TC greater than 65.0 MBH.

VIII. Calculate the total static pressure.
External static pressure	0.67 in. wg
Sum of FIOP / Accessory static	+0.13 in. wg
Total Static Pressure	0.80 in. wg

IX. Look up the indoor fan RPM & BHP.

Table 36 shows, at 2100 CFM & ESP= 0.8, RPM = 1358 & BHP = 1.52

X.Convert BHP (Step VIII) into fan motor heat.

Fan motor heat = 2.546* BHP/Motor Eff.4

Fan motor heat = 4.9 MBH

XI. Calculate RTU heating capacity.
Building heating load	85.0 MBH
Fan motor heat	-4.9 MBH
Required heating capacity	80.1 MBH

XII. Select a gas heater.

Table 4 shows the heating capacities of the 580JE07A = 93.0 MBH. Select the 580JE07A

XIII. Determine electrical requirements.

Table 56 shows the MCA and MOCP of a 580J*07A (without convenience outlet) as:

MCA = 30.5 amps & MOCP = 45.0 amps Min. disconnect size: FLA = 30 & LRA = 157.

NOTES:

1.Selection software by Bryant saves time by performing many of the steps above. Contact your Bryant sales representative for assistance.

2.Unit ratings are gross capacities and do not include the effect of evaporator fan motor heat. See Step X. for de- termining amount of evaporator fan motor heat to sub- tract from total and sensible capacities to obtain net cooling and net sensible capacities.

3.Selecting a unit with a SHC slightly lower than the SHCLoad is often better than oversizing. Slightly lower SHC’s will help control indoor humidity, and prevent temperature swings.

4.Indoor fan motor efficiency is available in Table 45. Use the decimal form in the equation, eg. 80% = .8.
