SELECTION PROCEDURE
1.Determine cooling and heating requirements at design conditions.
Example: |
|
Total cooling capacity ............ | 43,600 BTUH [12.78 kW] |
Sensible cooling capacity ...... | 34,000 BTUH [9.96 kW] |
Condenser entering air .......... | 95°F [35°C] |
Evaporator entering air .......... | 63°F [17°C] wb/76°F [24°C] db |
Indoor air flow ........................ | 1600 CFM [755 L/s] |
External static pressure .......... | 1.1 in wg |
Required efficiency ................ | 13 SEER |
2. Select unit to meet cooling requirements.
Since total cooling is within the range of 4 ton [14.07 kW] unit and requires 13 SEER efficiency level, enter cooling performance table, at 95°F [35°C] outdoor temperature, 63°F [17°C] wb entering indoor air, and 1600 CFM [755 L/s]:
Total capacity .......................... | 46,700 BTUH [13.68 kW] |
Power input ............................ | 3.3 kW |
And also, at 76°F [24°C] db indoor entering air, and using the formula at the bottom of the page:
Sensible capacity.................... | 33,710 BTUH [9.87 kW] |
UNIT
3. Determine blower speed and power to meet the system | |
requirements. |
|
At the given external static pressure of 1.1 in wg, the belt model | |
must be selected. Enter the belt drive blower performance table | |
at 1600 CFM [755 L/s] and 1.1 in wg ESP: | |
RPM .................. | 1205 |
Watts .................. | 725 |
Drive .................. | M |
4.Calculate indoor blower BTUH heat effect. BTUH = Watts x 3.413 = 2474
5.Calculate net cooling capacities.
Net total cooling = 46,700 – 2474 = 44,226 BTUH [12.96 kW] Net sensible cooling = 33,716 – 2474 = 31.242 BTUH [9.16 kW]
