Cold Stor Calculation

The document outlines the calculation of refrigeration load for a cold store. It provides specifications for the cold store dimensions and insulation thickness. It then lists and calculates various heat sources that contribute to the total refrigeration load, including insulation heat leak, air changes, lighting, personnel, product load, fans, and defrost heat. The total calculated refrigeration load and required refrigeration capacity in TR are presented.

Cold store refrigeration load

Specification
Dimensions: LXWXH m
Insulation thickness : m

External store surface area m


Maximum ambient temperature C
Store temperature
Load calculation
Insulation heat leak through walls, roof and floor
Conductivity of polystyrene u = ( kcal/h mC )
Temperature difference between ambient and store dT C
Thickness of polystyrene ( m)
Surface area of store A=(m 2)
Heat leak = u A dT kcal/h
Air changes
Average of 2.7 air changes in 24 h ACH / 24
Store volume = m3
Heat gain (35C and 60% R.H. air) kcal/m 3
Air change heat gain = 1000 2.7 40 24 = kcal/h
Lights (left on during working day)
1000W = 860 kcal/h
Men working
1 man working at -30C gives off kcal/h
2 men working is equivalent to kcal/h
Product load
5.5 kcal/kg for fish load at an average temperature of -20C
Fish loaded per day kg
Product load = ( kg * kcal/kg ) / 24 = kcal/h
Fan load
3 250W x 0 .860 ( 1 W = 0.860 kcal /h )
Defrost heat
1 defrost of 8440 W for 1 h (recovered over 6 h) = kcal/h

Total calculated refrigeration load (sum of Items 1 to 7) kcal/h

Total refrigeration requirement with allowances (Ref.load 24 18 ) = kcal/h
