Selection Procedure
Cooling Capacity
Step 1 — Calculate the building’s total and sensible cooling loads at design conditions.
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 (22kW) d
Sensible Cooling Load: 53 MBh (15.5 kW)
e
Airflow: 2500 cfm (4247 m3/h)
External Static Pressure: 0.77 in. wg (193 Pa)
Table
To find the net cooling capacities, fan motor heat must be subtracted. Determine the total unit static pressure:
External Static | 0.77 in (193 Pa) |
Standard Filter | 0.10 in (25 Pa) |
Supplementary Electric Heat | |
| 0.23 in (57 Pa) |
Total Static Pressure | 1.10 in (275 Pa) |
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 2500 cfm (4247 m3/h) and 1.00 inches (250 Pa),Table
Note:The formula below the table can be used to calculate Fan Motor Heat, Constant x Motor Power =
Fan Motor Heat |
| |
3.5 x bhp | = | MBh |
3.5 x 1.07 | = | 3.75 MBh |
1.375 x (kW) = kW
1.375 x 0.8 = 1.1 kW
NetTotal Cooling Capacity
= 85.1 MBh – 3.75 = 81.35 MBh
=24.9 kW - 1.1 = 23.8 kW Net Sensible Cooling Capacity
= 60.8 MBh – 3.75 = 57.05 MBh = 17.8 MBh - 1.1 = 16.7 kW
Heating Capacity
Step 1 — Calculate the building heating load using theTrane calculation form or any other standard accepted method.
Step 2 — Size the equipment usingTable
a
Total Heating Load: 110 MBh (32.2 kW) b
Outdoor Ambient (Winter): 17°F
c
Indoor ReturnTemperature: 70°F (21.1°C) DB
d
Airflow: 2500 cfm (4247 m3/h)
Table
Step 3 — Because 49.1 MBh (14.4 kW) is less than the building’s required heating capacity, a supplementary heater must be selected. 110 - 49.1 = 60.9 MBh (32.2 -
14.4= 17.8 kW) minimum heater capacity.

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
