Selection Procedure - SI Units
Cooling Capacity
Step 1
Calculate the building’s total and sensible cooling loads at design conditions. Use theTrane calculation methods or any other standard accepted method.
Factors used in unit selection:
A
Total Cooling Load: 16.7 kW
B
Sensible Cooling Load: 11.7 kW
C
Airflow: 3400 m3/h
D
Electrical Characteristics:
E
Summer Design Conditions: Entering
Evaporator Coil: 27 DB, 19 WB Outdoor
Ambient: 35
F
External Static Pressure: 110 Pa
Step 2
Table
14.4kW sensible capacity at 3400 m3/h and 35 DB outdoor ambient with 27 DB, 19 WB air entering the evaporator.
To Find Capacity at Intermediate Conditions Not in the Table
When the design conditions are between two numbers that are in the capacity table, interpolation is required to approximate the capacity. Note: Extrapolation outside of the table conditions is not recommended.
Step 3
In order to select the correct unit which meets the building’s requirements, the fan motor heat must be deducted from the gross cooling capacity.The amount of heat that the fan motor generates is dependent on the effort by the motor - cfm and static pressure.To determine the total unit static pressure:
External Static (duct system)
| 110 Pa |
Standard Filter 1 in. | 37 Pa |
from Table |
|
Economizer | 5 Pa |
(100% Return Air) | from |
Table |
|
Electric Heater Size 7.5 kW | 17 Pa |
from Table |
|
Total Static Pressure | 169 Pa |
Note: The Evaporator Fan Performance Table
With 3400 m3/h and 152 Pa
Table
Fan Motor Heat (kw) =
1.144 x (Fan kW) + 0.132
= 1.144 x 0.67 + 0.132 = 0.90 kW
Now subtract the fan motor heat from the gross cooling capacity of the unit: Net Total Cooling Capacity
= 17.8 kW - 0.9 = 16.9 kW.
Net Sensible Cooling Capacity = 14.4 kW - 0.9 = 13.5 kW.
Step 4
If the performance will not meet the required load of the building’s total or sensible cooling load, try a selection at the next higher size unit.
Heating Capacity
Step 1
Calculate the building heating load using theTrane calculation form or other standard accepted method.
Step 2
Size the system heating capacity to match the calculated building heating load. The following are building heating requirements:
A
Total heating load of 5 kW
B
2000 cfm
C
380 volt/3 phase Power Supply
The electric heat accessory capacities are listed inTable
Air Delivery Selection
External static pressure drop through the air distribution system has been calculated to be 110 Pa. FromTable PD- 21 static pressure drop through the economizer is 5 Pa and the 7.5 kW heater is 17 Pa (110 + 5 + 17). EnterTable
Accessory Selection
Select accessories needed to accommodate the application.
