Cooling Load Calculations

Cold Store Loads


Heat Transmission load
Solar radiation load
Product load
Respiration load
Occupants load
Lighting load
Air change load
Motor load
Space Storage Capacity
It depend on:
1. Empty space for project or required storage
capacity or project budget.
2. How we will storage the products.
For this load density = 3-4 mt per ton
M
st
= Volume / 3.75 (tons)
Cold store insulation
For cold store the optimum insulation thickness =
7.5 to 10 cm
For freezing store, the optimum insulation
thickness = 15 to 20 cm
How we insulate the cold store?
Building types
1. Concert and masonry building
2. Prefabricated building
Concert and masonry building
Wall insulation
Roof or ceiling
Floor
Prefabricated building
1- Transmission load
Q
T
= U A (T

)/1000 (kW)
Where :
U = 1/(1/h
o

h
o
= outside heat transfer coefficient = 34 W/m

2- Solar Radiation Load
Q

= U A T
s
/1000 (kW)
T
s
= allowance of solar radiation C
3- Product load
Normal cooling
Reserve fresh vegetables and fruits
Chilling water bottles
Reserve fresh meat for short period

Sub-Freezing (Deep freezing)
Reserve previous freeze meat.
Reserve previous freeze vegetables .
Reserve previous freeze ice blocks.
Q

Where
Daily Product rate = 5- 10% of storage rate
For freezing tunnel they have the same rate
4- Respiration load
Q
e
= m
st
r /(24*3600)
Where
r = respiration rate kJ/kg.day
= 0.5 kJ/kg.day (except some product)
5- Occupants load
Q
pr
= heat of person(W) * No of persons / 1000 (kW)
6-Lighting load
Q
L
= lighting intensity * plan area / 1000 (kW)
Where
lighting intensity = 20 W/m

7- Air change load
Q
a
= Volume * * * (h
o
h
i
)/(24*3600)
Where
= No of air change per day
= air density = 1.2 kg/m

h
o
= ambient air enthalpy kJ/kg
h
i
= space air enthalpy kJ/kg
8- Motor load
From the pervious loads :
Q
total

R.C = Q
total
* factor of safety * 24/(24 ) (kW)
Where
= defrosting period, hour/day
Refrigeration capacity
