When calculating the sensible capacity do not use Qs = 1.1 CFM *(T1-T2): Because the 1.1 is derived from standard air as follows:
If you use this equation then you will get the following: Qs = 1.1 * 15000 * (100-57.50) = 701,250 Btu/hr Coil programs use actual conditions: At 100 DB and 78 WB, the W = .015601 lbw/lba, Density = .06914 ft/lba At 57.50 DB and 57.30 WB, the W = .0099622 lbw/lba ma = CFM*Density*60 = 15000 * .06914 * 60 = 62226 lba/hr Cpm = (Cpa + W*Cpw) Qs = ma * Cpm * (T[1] T[2]) Qs = 622226*(.24+.015601*.444)*(100-57.5) = 652,988 Btu/hr The Total Latent Load is computed from: QL = Qt Qs Using standard Air QL = 1,034,818 - 701,250 = 333,568 Btu/hr Btu/(lba F)
Using actual air: QL = 1,034,818 - 652,988 = 381,830 Btu/hr The above shows a sea level calculation. The same equations apply for altitude however the true density must include DB, WB, and PB = altitude PB. PB altitude is calculated from the following equation: PB = 14.696 * (1 ALTITUDE*6.8753E-6)^5.2559
