SELECTION PROCEDURE (WITH 548J*07 EXAMPLE)
(Selection software by Bryant saves time by performing many of the steps below.)
I.Determine cooling and heating loads.
Given: |
|
Mixed Air Drybulb | 80_F (27_C) |
Mixed Air Wetbulb | 67_F (19_C) |
Ambient Drybulb | 95_F (35_C) |
TCLoad | 65.0 MBH |
SHCLoad | 46.0 MBH |
HCLoad | 45.0 MBH |
0_F | |
70_F (21_C) | |
Vertical Supply Air | 2100 CFM |
External Static Pressure | 0.66 in.wg |
Electrical Characteristics |
II.Make an initial guess at cooling tons.
Refrig. tons = TCLoad / 12 MBH per ton Refrig. tons = 65.0 / 12 = 5.42 tons
In this case, start by looking at the 548J*07.
III. Look up the rooftop’s TC and SHC.
Table 11 shows that, at the application’s supply air CFM, mixed air and ambient temperatures, the
548J*07 supplies: TCLoad = 69.0 MBH SHCLoad = 50.7 MBH.
The required heating capacity is 45,000 Btuh. There- fore, 20,700 Btuh (45,000 – 24,300) additional elec- tric heat is required.
Determine additional electric heat capacity in kW.
20,700 Btuh | = 6.1 kW of heat required. | |
| ||
3413 Btuh/kW | ||
|
Enter the Electric Heating Capacities table for 548J*07 at 208/230,
6.5 kW x 3413 = 22,185 Btuh
Total unit heating capacity is 46,485 Btuh (22,185 + 24,300).
VI. Calculate RTU Latent Heat Capacity
LC = TC - SHC
LC = 69.0 MBH - 50.7 MBH = 18.3 MBH
VII. Compare RTU capacities to loads.
Compare the rooftop’s SHC and LC to the building’s Sensible and Latent Heat Loads.
See Notes 1 and 2.
VIII. Select factory options (FIOP)
Local code requires an economizer for any unit with TC larger than 65.0 MBH.
548J
IV. Calculate the building Latent Heat Load.
LCLoad = TCLoad - SHCLoad
LCLoad = 65.0 MBH - 46.0 MBH = 19.0 MBH
V.Select electric heat.
Enter the Instantaneous and Integrated Heating Rat- ings, Table 17 at 2100 cfm. At 70_F (21_C) return indoor air and 0°F
IX. Calculate the total static pressure. |
|
External static pressure | 0.66 in. wg |
Sum of FIOP/Accessory static | +0.14 in. wg |
Total Static Pressure | 0.80 in. wg |
X.Look up the Indoor Fan RPM & BHP.
Table 34 shows, at 2100 CFM & ESP= 0.8, RPM = 1268 & BHP = 1.52
XI. Determine electrical requirements
Table 25 shows the MCA and MOCP of a 548J*07 (without convenience outlet) with 6.5 kW electric heater as:
MCA = 52.3 amps & MOCP = 60 amps
Min. Disconnect Size: FLA = 50 & LRA = 199.

| NOTES: | |
BHP | — | Break horsepower | 1. Selecting a unit with a SHC slightly lower than the SHCLoad is | |
FLA | — | Full load amps | often better than oversizing. Slightly lower SHC’s will help con- | |
HC | — | Heating Capacities | trol indoor humidity, and prevent temperature swings. | |
LC | — | Latent capacity | 2. If the rooftop’s capacity meets the Sensible Heat Load, but not | |
the Latent Heat Load. | ||||
LRA | — | Lock rotor amp | ||

MBH | — | (1,000) BTUH |
