Example – Heating Air, Sensible Heat

Sensible heating Btu is measured by the ageless formula CFM x Delta-T x 1.08. To measure heating Btu, multiply the measure supply airflow (in cfm) by the temperature change from the average supply register temperature to the average return grille temperature, and multiply this total by the formula constant of 1.08.

We also learned that the sensible cooling load (hs) is calculated by multiplying the specific heat of air (cp) by the density of air (rho) by the air flow (q) and the temperature differential.

1. hs = (1.006 kJ/kg oC) (1

   Q. What is the delta T in HVAC?

   “Delta T” is the most common use of the word delta in the HVAC industry, meaning temperature difference. If the temperature before a cooling coil is 75F and the temperature after the cooling coil is 55F, subtract 55F from a 75F to find a delta t of 20F.

   Q. What is cooling load calculation?

   Extraction Rate • Space Heat extraction rate – The actual heat removal rate by the cooling equipment from the space – The heat extraction rate is equal to cooling load when the space conditions are constant which is rarely true. …

   Q. How do you calculate cooling capacity?

   Using the energy equation of Q = ṁ x Cp x ΔT we can calculate the cooling capacity. We add 273.15K to the celcius to convert it to units of Kelvin. The Specific heat capacity (Cp) is measured in units of kJ per kg per Kelvin. This gives us a final answer of Q = 2,500kW of cooling.

   Q. How is chilling cooling load calculated?

   Calculate tons of cooling capacity Tons = BTU/hr. ÷ 12,000. Oversize the chiller by 20% Ideal Size in Tons = Tons x 1.2. You have the ideal size for your needs.

   Q. What is load calculation?

   A load calculation is the process of determining the proper size of a furnace and/or air conditioner for a home. In the early days of the industry, hvac companies made an educated guess to determine the heat gain and loss for the home.

   Q. Do I really need a Manual J load calculation?

   Homeowners should insist that a proper Manual J load calculation be performed before signing a contract. According to ACCA (The Air Conditioning Contractors of America), Manual J is the recommended hvac load calculation method for use in the United States.

   Q. What is cooling capacity in kW?

   cooling capacity of 1 ton is equal to 3.517 kW of power. For 1.5 ton AC ,power consumption of ac =cooling capacity/EER. =1.5*3.517/2.7=1.954 kW. AC consists of two units, Indoor unit which is called the evaporator and the Outdoor Unit which called the Compressor.

   Q. What is TR capacity in cooling towers?

   Chiller Refrigeration Tons Some commercial and industrial refrigeration systems are rated in Tons of Refrigeration (TR, tons). A ton is the amount of heat removed by an air conditioning system that would melt 1 ton (2000 lbs.) of ice in 24 hours. The heat required to melt 1 lb of ice at 32 oF to water is 144 Btu.

   Q. How do you calculate TR on a compressor?

   One short ton = 2000 lb, Heat extracted = 2000 x 144/24 hr = 288000 Btu/24 hr = 12000 Btu/hr = 200 Btu/min, 1 ton refrigeration = 200 Btu/min = 3.517 kJ/s = 3.517 kW = 4.713 HP .

   Q. How can I calculate the cooling tower capacity in TR?

   Multiply 500 times the water flow rate, times the temperature difference, divided by 12,000 or 500 x q x dt/12,000. The result is the tons of capacity of the cooling tower.

   Q. What is ORP cooling tower?

   Chlorine is used as an oxidizing biocide to control this biological growth in most industrial cooling towers. ORP is a measure of a solutions oxidizing or reducing strength. The chemical way to look at redox processes is that the reductant transfers electrons to the oxidant.
