Selection Procedure - SI Units
Cooling Capacity
Step 1
Calculate the building’s total and sensible cooling loads at design conditions. Use the Trane calculation form or any other standard accepted method.
Step 2
Size the equipment using Table
Example: The following are the building cooling requirements:
A
Electrical Characteristics:
B
Summer Design Conditions:
Entering Evaporator Coil: 27 DB/ 19 WB
Outdoor Ambient: 35
C
Total Cooling Load: 17.0 kW
D
Sensible Cooling Load: 11.7 kW
E
Airflow: 3,400 m3/hr
External Static Pressure: 130 Pa
F
Downflow Configuration
Table
14.7kW sensible capacity at 35 degree C ambient and 3,400 m3/hr with 27 DB/19 WB air entering the evaporator.
To find the net cooling capacities, fan motor heat must be subtracted. Determine the total unit static pressure:
External Static | 130 Pa |
Standard Filter 1 in. | 37 Pa |
Economizer | 46 Pa |
Supplementary Electric Heat | 21 Pa |
Total Static Pressure | 234 Pa |
Note: The Evaporator Fan Performance Table
Therefore, the actualTotal Static Pressure is 234 – 37 = 197 Pa. With 3,400 m3/hr and 197 Pa,Table
Note below the table gives a formula to calculate Fan Motor Heat,
Fan Motor Heat (kW) =
1.144 x (Fan kW) + 0.132
= 1.144 x 0.75 + 0.132 = 1.0 kW
NetTotal Cooling Capacity = 18.1 – 1.0 = 17.1 kW
Net Sensible Cooling Capacity = 14.7 – 1.0 = 13.7 kW
Heating Capacity
Step 1
Calculate the building heating load using theTrane calculation form or other standard accepted method.
Step 2
Size the equipment usingTable
A
Total Heating Load: 16 kW
B
Outdoor Ambient (Winter)
C
Indoor Return Temperature: 21°C DB
D
Airflow: 3,400 m3/hr
Use the portion ofTable
Step 3
Because 8.3 kW is less than the building’s required heating capacity at winter design conditions, a supplementary heater must be selected.
16 kW – 8.3 kW = 7.7 kW
FromTable
10.9 kW 38.0 MBh
