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 usingTable
Example: The following are the building cooling requirements:
A
Electrical Characteristics:
B
Summer Design Conditions:
Entering Evaporator Coil: 80 DB/ 67 WB
Outdoor Ambient: 95
C
Total Cooling Load: 53 MBh
D
Sensible Cooling Load: 33 MBh
E
Airflow: 2,000 cfm
External Static Pressure: .52 in. w.g.
F
Downflow Configuration
Table
To find the net cooling capacities, fan motor heat must be subtracted. Determine the total unit static pressure:
External Static | 0.52 in. |
Standard Filter 1 in. | 0.15 in. |
Economizer | 0.18 in. |
Supplementary Electric Heat | 0.083 in. |
Total Static Pressure | 0.933 in. |
Note: The Evaporator Fan Performance Table
Therefore, the actualTotal Static Pressure is 0.933 – 0.15 = 0.78. With 2,000 cfm and 0.78 inches,Table
Note below the table gives a formula to calculate Fan Motor Heat,
Fan Motor Heat (MBh) = 2.915 x (Fan bhp) + 0.451
= 2.915 x 1.00 + 0.451 = 3.37 MBh
NetTotal Cooling Capacity =
57 – 3.37 = 53.6 MBh
Net Sensible Cooling Capacity =
38 – 3.37 = 34.6 MBh
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: 50 MBh
B
Outdoor Ambient (Winter) 17 DB
C
Indoor Return Temperature: 70 DB
D
Airflow: 2,000 cfm
Use the portion ofTable
Step 3
Because 29.1 MBh is less than the building’s required heating capacity at winter design conditions, a supplementary heater must be selected.
50 MBh – 29.1 MBh = 29.9 MBh
FromTable
10.9 kW 38.0 MBh
FromTable
