IV DETERMINE FAN SPEED AND POWER REQUIRE- MENTS AT DESIGN CONDITIONS.

Before entering Fan Performance tables, calculate the total static pressure required based on unit components. From the given and the Pressure Drop tables, find:

External static pressure	.45 in. wg
Durablade economizer	.05 in. wg
Electric heat	.09 in. wg
Total static pressure	.59 in. wg

Enter the Fan Performance table for 549B048 vertical dis- charge. At 1600 cfm and 230-v, the standard motor will deliver 1.2 in. wg static pressure and 1.15 brake horse- power (bhp). This will adequately handle job requirements.

NOTE: Convert bhp to Watts using the formula below and the motor efficiency found in the Indoor-Fan Motor Data table.

For this example:

ature of 95 F, indoor air entering at 1600 cfm and 67 F

Watts =

746 x Bhp

ewb. The 549B048 unit will provide a total cooling

capacity of 47,400 Btuh and a sensible heat capacity of

32,800 Btuh.

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

tables.

NOTE: Unit ratings are gross capacities and do not include

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

ities, see Step V.

III SELECT ELECTRIC HEAT.

Enter the Instantaneous and Integrated Heating Ratings

table at 1600 cfm. At 70 F return indoor air and 0° F air

entering outdoor coil, the integrated heating capacity is

20,400 Btuh. (Select integrated heating capacity value

since deductions for outdoor-coil frost and defrosting have

already been made. No correction is required.)

The required heating capacity is 35,000 Btuh. Therefore,

14,600 Btuh (35,000 – 20,400) additional electric heat is

required.

Determine additional electric heat capacity in kW.

14,600 Btuh

= 4.3 kW of heat required.

3413 Btuh/kW

Enter the Electric Heating Capacities table for 549B048 at 208/230, 3 phase. The 6.5-kW heater at 240 v most closely satisfies the heating required. To calculate kW at 230 v, use the Multiplication Factors table.

6.5 kW x .92 = 5.98 kW

6.5 kW x .92 x 3413 = 20,410 Btuh

Total unit heating capacity is 40,810 Btuh (20,400 + 20,410).

Motor Efficiency

746 x 1.15

Watts =

.75

Watts = 1144

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 = Total capacity – IFM heat

=47,400 Btuh – (1144 Watts x 3.413 Btuh/Watts)

=47,400 Btuh – 3904 Btuh

=43,496

Net sensible capacity = 32,800 Btuh – 3904 Btuh = 28,896 Btuh

Integrated heating capacity is maximum (instantaneous) capacity less the effect of frost on the outdoor coil and the heat required to defrost it. Therefore, net capacity is equal to 40,810 Btuh, the total heating capacity determined in Step III.

549B, 548F, 542J specifications

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.
