Selection Procedure
Cooling Capacity
Step 1 — Calculate the building’s total and sensible cooling loads at design conditions. Use theTrane calculation form or any other standard accepted method.
Step 2 — Size the equipment usingTable
Example:The following are the building cooling requirements
a
Electrical Characteristics:
Summer Design Conditions: Entering
Evaporator Coil: 80 DB/67WB (27 DB/19WB C)
Outdoor Ambient: 95° F (35° C) c
Total Cooling Load: 75 MBh (22 kW) d
Sensible Cooling Load: 53 MBh (15.5 kW)
e
Airflow: 3000 cfm (5097 m3/h)
External Static Pressure: 0.77 in. (192.5 Pa)
Table
To find the net cooling capacities, fan motor heat must be subtracted. Determine the total unit static pressure:
| In. | Pa |
External Static | 0.77 | 193 |
Standard Filter | 0.10 | 25 |
Supplementary |
|
|
Electric Heat | 0.23 | 57 |
Total Static Pressure | 1.10 | 275 |
Note:The Evaporator Fan Performance Table has included the effect of a 1 in. (250 Pa) filter already.Therefore, the actualTotal Static Pressure is 1.10 - 0.10 = 1.00 in. (275 - 25 = 250 Pa).
With 3000 cfm (5097 m3/h) and 1.00 inches (250 Pa), Table
Note:The formula below the table can be used to calculate Fan Motor Heat,
3.5x Bhp = MBh
3.5x 1.17 = 4.10 MBh
(1.375 x (kW) = kW)
(1.375 x 0.8 = 1.1 kW)
NetTotal Cooling Capacity =
86.5MBh – 4.10 = 82.4 MBh
18.8- 1.1 = 17.7 kW
Net Sensible Cooling Capacity =
64.4MBh – 4.10 = 60.3 MBh
25.3- 1.1 = 24.2 kW
Heating Capacity
Step 1 — Calculate the building heating load.
Step 2 — Size the system heating capacity to match the calculated building heating load.The following are building heating requirements:
a
Total Heating Load at 97.0 MBh (28.4 kW) b
3000 cfm (5097 m3/h) c

Air Delivery Selection
External static pressure drop through the air distribution system has been calculated to be 0.77 inches (192.5 Pa) of water gauge. FromTable
