II SELECT UNIT BASED ON REQUIRED COOLING
CAPACITY.
Enter Cooling Capacity table on page 109 at outdoor-
entering temperature of 95 F, indoor air entering at
6000 cfm and 67 F ewb. The 542J180 will provide a total
capacity (TC) of 180,800 Btuh, a sensible heat capacity
(SHC) of 136,400 Btuh and a total unit kW of 15.88.
For indoor-air temperature other than 80 F edb, calculate
sensible heat capacity correction, as required, using the
formula found in Note 3 following the Cooling Capacities
table on page 109.
NOTE:
Unit ratings are gross capacities and do not
include the effect of indoor-fan motor heat. To calculate net
capacities, see Step V.
III SELECT ELECTRIC HEAT.
Enter the Integrated Heating Capacities table on page 110
at 6000 cfm. At 70 F return indoor air and 0° F air entering
the outdoor coil, the integrated heating capacity is
58,500 Btuh with a unit input kW of 11.71 (interpolation
required).
The required heating capacity is 170,000 Btuh; therefore,
111,500 Btuh (170,000 – 58,500) additional electric heat is
necessary.
Determine the additional electric heat capacity in kW.
Enter the Electric Heating Capacities table at 230-3-60. The
34-kW heater satisfies the electric heater requirements.
IV DETERMINE FAN SPEED AND MOTOR HORSEPOWER
REQUIREMENTS AT DESIGN CONDITIONS.
Before entering Fan Performance table, calculate the total
static pressure required based on unit components. From
the given and the Accessory/FIOP Static Pressure table
on page 112, find:
Enter the Fan Performance table on page 111. At
6000 cfm and 1.46 in. wg external static pressure, the fan
speed is 1214 and the bhp is 3.95 (interpolation required).
The standard motor and alternate high static drive are
suitable.
V DETERMINE NET CAPACITIES.
Capacities are gross and do not include the effect of
indoor-fan motor (IFM) heat.
Determine net cooling capacity as follows:
Net capacity = Gross capacity – IFM heat
Net sensible capacity = 136,400 – 11,827
= 124,573 Btuh
Determine net heating capacity as follows:
Net capacity =
Gross capacity + IFM heat + Electric heat capacity
= 58,500 + (IFM kW x 3412) + (Elec. kW x 3412)
= 58,500 + 11,827 + (34 x 3412)
= 58,500 + 11,827 + 116,008
= 186,335 Btuh
111,500 Btuh
= 32.6 kW
