    Ton of Refrigeration and Heat Load Calculation

    Uploaded by

    Kirti Reddy
    The document discusses concepts related to heat load calculation and refrigeration capacity, including: - Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a phase change without a temperature change. - Ton of refrigeration (TR) is a unit of cooling capacity, originally defined as the rate required to freeze 1 ton of water into ice in 24 hours. 1 TR is approximately equal to 3.5 kW or 12,000 BTU/hr. - Heat load calculation involves determining the external and internal heat gains in a building to size HVAC equipment appropriately.

    LATENT HEAT
    Latent heat, energy absorbed or released by a
    substance during a change in its physical state (phase)
    that occurs without changing its temperature.

    TON OF REFRIGERATION

    Ton of Refrigeration (TR): Ton of Refrigeration


    (abbreviated as TR) is an important historical unit of
    refrigeration capacity. Originally 1 TR was defined as
    the rate of heat transfer required to make 1 ton
    (1000KG) of ice per day (24HR) from water at 0oC.
