Outdoor unit selection


We have already checked that the sum of total I/D unit capacity index is (Qidu_index) =111. So the selected outdoor unit should be such that Qidu_index lie in between it 100% to 130% capacity index. Start matching capacity index with lower capacity O/D unit first. The values in the table are {Qodu_index}.

111 lies between 110% and 120% combination capacity of 10 hp outdoor unit.

If this outdoor unit capacity does not satisfy the final total corrected capacities of indoor unit then we can choose the next higher capacity outdoor unit.

The table below tell about the actual capacities and power input by the outdoor unit at specific indoor unit combination. (10hp)

Actual capacity of O/D at combination ratio


Now using interpolation method the actual capacity of outdoor unit at the combination ratios can be calculated. Qodu(Ti,To, Rcombi) is a function of indoor, outdoor temperature and combination ratio.

Qodu_ind Model
ex

Indoor Combinatio n (%)

Total cooling

Combination ratio Rcombi = Qidu_index / Qodu_index (d) 115.625%

Outdoor Index at combination ratio

Actual capacity Qodu(Ti,To,Rcombi) (kW) (f) 29.4(115.625%)

(a) 115 10hp 106

(b) 120 110

(c) 29.8

(e) 111.06

28.9

Important note : (e) & (f) are calculated on interpolation method such as For ex. Index at combination ratio (10hp) = 106 + [(115.625-110)*(115-106)]/(120-110) = 111.06

Actual capacity (10hp) = 28.9 + [(115.625-110)*(29.8-28.9)] / (120-110) = 29.4 (at 115.625%)

Now each indoor unit capacity both actual and sensible is compared with the required parameters. Also total overall load requirements are compared with the requirement. If it is satisfactory then selection of units are ok but if any one indoor or outdoor unit fails in requirement we have to go for higher capacity models.

The values with arrow should be equal or more than the cooling load. but in this case they are lower. So we will upgrade indoor units one by one and follow the whole process again. Till we get optimal solution.
