IMPORTANT FORMULAS FOR HVAC ENGINEERS

SENSIBLE COOLING LOAD CHILLED WATER FLOW DUCT SIZING

a, (Kw) = 1.2 x m, (m'/s) x AT (°C) Q, (Kw) a (m/s) = A(m') xv (m/s)


m, (L/s)= 4.1855 x AT (°C)
, (Btu/hr) =1.075 x m, (cfm) xAT (°F)
Q (cfm) = A(ft) x v (fpm)
Q, (Ton) x 24
LATENT CoOLING LOAD rm, (GPM) =
AT (°F) Rectangular area:A =W x H
Q (Kw) =2963.6 x ma (m/s) xAx (Kg/Kg)
For AT = 16°F = 9°C Circular area :A 3.14 x R?
a (Btu/hr) =4770 x in,, (cfm) x Ax (Ib/lb) rm, (GPM) = Q, (Ton)x 1.5
TOTAL COOLING LOAD For 4T = 10 F = 5.5 °C LOUVERS SIZING
Q, (Kw) = 1.2 x ma (m'/s) x AH (Kj/Kg) m, (GPM) = 4, (Ton) x 2.4 Q
(m°/s) =F.A, xA (m') xv (m/s)
a, (Btu/hr) =4.5 x ma (cfm) x AH (Btu/lb) EXHAUST AIR FLOw Q(cfm) =FA, *A (ft')xv (fpm)
V(m³) x ACH ((hr) Recommended vma, for sand trap
m,(L/s) = louvers : Vmax =1 m/s or 200 fpm
SENSIBLE HEAT LOAD OF WALLS 3.6

a, (w)=A (m') x U
