IISELECT UNIT BASED ON REQUIRED COOLING CAPACITY.
Enter Cooling Capacities table for 579F180 (page 29) at condenser entering temperature 95 F, evaporator air en- tering at 4,500 cfm and 67 F wb. The 579F180 unit will provide a total cooling capacity of 180,000 Btuh and a sensible heating capacity of 120,000 Btuh. For air entering evaporator at temperatures other than 80 F edb, calculate sensible heat capacity correction as required us- ing the formula in the notes following the Cooling Capaci- ties tables.
NOTE: Unit ratings are gross capacities and do not include the effect of
IIISELECT HEATING CAPACITY OF UNIT TO PROVIDE DESIGN CONDITION REQUIREMENTS.
In the Heating Capacities and Ef®ciencies table (page 7) note that the 579F180 300 will provide an output capac- ity of 243,000 Btuh, which is adequate for the given application.
IV DETERMINE FAN SPEED AND POWER REQUIRE- MENTS AT DESIGN CONDITIONS.
Before entering the Fan Performance tables, cal- culate the total static pressure required based on unit com- ponents. From the given and the Accessory/FIOP Static Pressure table on page 52 ®nd:
External static pressure | 0.60 in. wg |
Economizer static pressure | 0.04 in. wg |
|
|
Total static pressure | 0.64 in. wg |
Enter the Fan Performance table 579F180 (page 47) at 4,500 cfm and 0.64 in. wg external static pressure. By in- terpolation, ®nd that the rpm is 988 and the watts are 1334.
VDETERMINE NET COOLING CAPACITY.
Cooling capacities are gross capacities and do not include indoor (evaporator) fan motor (IFM) heat. Use the watts in- put power to the motor calculated in Section IV above.
IFM Watts = 1334
Determine net cooling capacity using the following formula:
Net capacity = Gross capacity ± IFM heat
=180,000 Btuh ± 1334 Watts
(3.412 Btuh )
Watts
=180,000 Btuh ± 4552 Btuh
=175,448 Btuh
Net sensible capacity = 120,000 Btuh ± 4552 Btuh = 115,448 Btuh
The calculations show that a 579F180 unit with the stand- ard motor and standard
