II SELECT UNIT BASED ON REQUIRED COOLING

CAPACITY.

Enter Cooling Capacity table on page 109 at outdoor-

entering temperature of 95 F, indoor air entering at

6000 cfm and 67 F ewb. The 542J180 will provide a total

capacity (TC) of 180,800 Btuh, a sensible heat capacity

Enter the Electric Heating Capacities table at 230-3-60. The 34-kW heater satisfies the electric heater requirements.

IV DETERMINE FAN SPEED AND MOTOR HORSEPOWER REQUIREMENTS AT DESIGN CONDITIONS.

Before entering Fan Performance table, calculate the total static pressure required based on unit components. From the given and the Accessory/FIOP Static Pressure table on page 112, find:

External static pressure	1.30 in. wg
EconoMi$er static pressure	0.07 in. wg
Electric heat static pressure	0.09 in. wg
Total static pressure	1.46 in. wg

Enter the Fan Performance table on page 111. At 6000 cfm and 1.46 in. wg external static pressure, the fan speed is 1214 and the bhp is 3.95 (interpolation required). The standard motor and alternate high static drive are suitable.

VDETERMINE NET CAPACITIES.

Capacities are gross and do not include the effect of indoor-fan motor (IFM) heat.

Determine net cooling capacity as follows: Net capacity = Gross capacity – IFM heat

2545 Btuh

(SHC) of 136,400 Btuh and a total unit kW of 15.88.

= 180,800 – 3.95 bhp x

For indoor-air temperature other than 80 F edb, calculate

sensible heat capacity correction, as required, using the

formula found in Note 3 following the Cooling Capacities

table on page 109.

NOTE: Unit ratings are gross capacities and do not

include the effect of indoor-fan motor heat. To calculate net

capacities, see Step V.

III SELECT ELECTRIC HEAT.

Enter the Integrated Heating Capacities table on page 110

at 6000 cfm. At 70 F return indoor air and 0° F air entering

the outdoor coil, the integrated heating capacity is

58,500 Btuh with a unit input kW of 11.71 (interpolation

required).

The required heating capacity is 170,000 Btuh; therefore,

111,500 Btuh (170,000 – 58,500) additional electric heat is

necessary.

Determine the additional electric heat capacity in kW.

.85

=180,800 – 11,827

=168,973 Btuh

Net sensible capacity = 136,400 – 11,827

=124,573 Btuh

Determine net heating capacity as follows: Net capacity =

Gross capacity + IFM heat + Electric heat capacity

=58,500 + (IFM kW x 3412) + (Elec. kW x 3412)

=58,500 + 11,827 + (34 x 3412)

=58,500 + 11,827 + 116,008

=186,335 Btuh

111,500 Btuh

= 32.6 kW

Bryant 542J is a high-efficiency gas furnace that stands out for its reliability and advanced heating technologies. Designed to deliver consistent warmth and comfort in residential settings, it combines innovative engineering with energy-efficient features.

One of the key characteristics of the Bryant 542J is its two-stage heating capability. This means that the furnace can adjust its heat output according to the heating demands of your home. During milder weather, it operates at a lower stage, consuming less energy while still maintaining a comfortable environment. When the temperatures drop, the furnace shifts to its higher capacity, providing the necessary warmth efficiently. This not only enhances comfort but also contributes to lower energy bills.

In addition to its two-stage operation, the Bryant 542J also incorporates a variable-speed blower motor. This technology allows the furnace to adjust the airflow depending on the heating requirements, ensuring an even distribution of warm air throughout the home. The variable-speed blower also operates more quietly than conventional fixed-speed motors, creating a serene indoor environment.

Energy efficiency is a hallmark of the Bryant 542J, boasting an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 96.5%. This impressive rating means that a significant portion of the energy consumed is effectively converted into usable heat, resulting in substantial savings on heating costs over time. Furthermore, the furnace is equipped with a sealed combustion system that draws air from outside the home, minimizing energy waste and improving indoor air quality.

Diagnostic features are another highlight of the Bryant 542J, which come equipped with SmartEvap technology. This allows the unit to self-diagnose potential issues, providing homeowners with peace of mind and simplifying maintenance procedures.

Durability is also a key feature of the Bryant 542J. It is constructed with high-quality materials designed to withstand harsh winter conditions, ensuring a long lifespan and reliable performance. Its compact design also allows for flexible installation, making it suitable for various residential layouts.

In summary, the Bryant 542J is more than just a gas furnace; it is a sophisticated heating solution that combines efficiency, comfort, and reliability. With features such as two-stage heating, a variable-speed blower, high AFUE ratings, and advanced diagnostics, it is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking an efficient and effective heating system.
