Sensible Heat Ratio - SHR

Sensible Heat Ratio - SHR - is defined as the sensible heat or cooling load divided by the total heat or cooling load

The Sensible Heat Ratio - SHR - express the ratio between the sensible heat load and the total heat load and can be expressed as: SHR = q / q
s t

(1)

where SHR = sensible heat ratio (ratio of sensible heat load to total heat load)
Physiology Piping Systems Process Control Pumps Standards Organi Steam and Conde Thermodynamics Water Systems

q = sensible heat (kW, Btu/hr)

s t

q = total heat - sensible heat and latent heat (kW, Btu/hr) (1) can be modified to: SHR = c (t - t ) / (h - h )

(2)

where c = specific heat capacity of air (kJ/kg C, Btu/lb F)

t = outlet temperature ( C, F)
