SELECTION PROCEDURE (WITH 558J*07 EXAMPLE)
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) |
THCLoad | 69.0 MBH |
SHCLoad | 51.0 MBH |
Supply Air | 2100 CFM |
Heating Load | 85.0 MBH |
External Static Pressure | 0.67 in.wg |
Electrical Characteristics |
II.Make an initial guess at cooling tons.
Refrig. tons | = | THCLoad / 12 MBH per ton |
Refrig. tons | = | 69.0 / 12 = 5.75 tons |
In this case, start by looking at the 558J*07.
III.Look up the rooftop’s THC and SHC.
Table 11 shows that, at the application’s supply air CFM, mixed air and ambient temperatures, the
558J*07 supplies: THCLoad = 73.7 MBH SHCLoad = 54.3 MBH.
IV. Calculate the building Latent Heat Load.
LHCLoad = THCLoad - SHCLoad
LHCLoad = 692.0 MBH - 51.0 MBH = 18.0 MBH
V.Calculate RTU Latent Heat Capacity
LHC = THC - SHC
LHC = 73.7 MBH - 54.3 MBH = 19.4 MBH
VI. Compare RTU capacities to loads. 2
Compare the rooftop’s SHC and LHC to the building’s Sensible and Latent Heat Loads.
VII. Select factory options (FIOP)
Local code requires an economizer for any unit with THC less 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 26 shows, at 2100 CFM & ESP= 0.8, RPM = 1268 & BHP = 1.52
X.Convert BHP (Step VIII) into Fan Motor Heat.
Fan Motor Heat = 2.546* BHP/Motor Eff.3 Fan Motor Heat = 4.8 MBH
XI. Determine electrical requirements
Table 32 shows the MCA and MOCP of a 558J*07 (without convenience outlet) as:
MCA = 32.8 amps & MOCP = 50 amps
Min. Disconnect Size: FLA = 32 & LRA = 72.

NOTES:
1.Bryant’s selection software saves time by performing many of the steps above. Contact your Bryant sales rep- resentative for assistance.
2.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.
3.Indoor Fan Motor efficiency is available in Table
