History of Dependability,
Technical Support and
Product Choice
Climate Control is the
brand that revolutionized
convenience store refrigeration in the 1970s. Its reputation
of dependability and products designed to reduce
installation and operation costs still make it the number one
choice of convenience store owners everywhere.

Accuracy
Accuracy in calculation is the first step in having a satisfied
customer. There are short cuts, based on averages, that may
be taken and which must be used when the product load is
indefinite or unknown (see Quick Selection Guide on page 41
and the Rapid Load Calculator on page 43). But when all the data
necessary to calculate the four main sources of heat gain are
available, the complete calculation should be made.

1. Transmission Load
Methods of determining the amount of heat flow through walls,
floor and ceiling are well established. This heat gain is directly
proportional to the Temperature Difference (T.D.) between the
two sides of the wall. The type and thickness of insulation used
in the wall construction, the outside area of the wall and the
T.D. between the two sides of the wall are the three factors
that establish the wall load. Tables are provided to simplify
the calculations (see Table 1, page 13). Some coolers for above
freezing temperatures have been constructed with only a floor
slab (no floor insulation). The factors shown in the wall heat gain
(Table 1) are based on a concrete floor slab and the T.D. between
the local ground temperature and the storage room temperature.

Insulation Values
K Factor - Insulating Value of any material is rated by its thermal conductivity
U Factor - Overall coefficient of heat transfer, BTU per hour/per square foot/per degree F.
R Factor - Thermal resistances
X = Inches of Insulation
K = UX = X/R
U = K/X = 1/R
R = 1/U = X/K

Equipment Balance
Temperature Difference (T.D.)
Capacity Control/Product Safety
Type of Operation/Air Flow
1. Equipment Balance
2. Temperature Difference
For Storage Rooms Above 32F. (0C.)
The nature of the product determines the desirable relative
humidity for the storage room. The desirable relative humidity,
in turn, dictates the approximate design T.D. between the air in
storage room and the refrigerant in the unit cooler.
For the general purpose cooler involving meats, vegetables, and
dairy products, it is common procedure to balance the low side
to the condensing unit at a 10F. to 12F. T.D.. It has been learned
by experience that if this is done, one may expect to maintain in
a cooler 80% to 85% relative humidity, which is a good range for
general storage.
Load Calculation Example 2 (page 8) involved the cooling and
storage of beef. The table shows that the recommended T.D.
is approximately 10F. Since the calculated load per hour based
on 16 hr. of condensing unit operation was 12696 BTU/hr., the
condensing unit to be selected should have a greater capacity
than 12696 BTU/hr. based on a suction temperature of +23F.
(10F. T.D. plus 2F. allowance for suction line pressure drop).
The unit cooler to be selected should have a minimum base
capacity (BTU/ T.D.) of 12696/10 T.D. or 1270 BTU/ T.D./hr. to be
sure that the unit cooler is large enough to balance properly with
the condensing unit.

B. Altitude
The direction of the air and air throw should be such that there
is movement of air where there is a heat gain; this applies to the
room walls and ceiling as well as the product. The unit cooler(s)
should be arranged to direct its discharge air at any doors or
openings, if it all possible. Avoid placing the unit cooler in a
position close to a door where it may induce additional infiltration
in to the room; this can cause fan icing and a condition known as
hoar-frost. Also, avoid placing a unit in the air stream of another
unit, because defrosting difficulties can result.
C. Suction Temperature
For general storage coolers and holding freezers, there are not
criteria for air velocities within the room. The total supply of air
is such that approximately 40 to 80 air changes occur each hour.
This is an air conditioning term which is calculated as follows:

* NOTES:
1. Sizes that are highlighted indicate maximum suction line sizes that should be used for risers. Riser size should not exceed horizontal size.
Properly placed suction traps must also be used for adequate oil return.
All sizes shown are for O.D. Type L copper tubing.
2. Suction line sizes selected at pressure drop equivalent to 2F. Reduce estimate of system capacity accordingly.
3. Recommended liquid line size may increase with reverse cycle hot gas systems.
4. Consult factory for R-134a operation at winter conditions below 0 ambient.
Heated and insulated receiver required below 0 ambient.
If system load drops below 40% of design, consideration to installing double suction risers should be made.

* NOTES:
1. Sizes that are highlighted indicate maximum suction line sizes that should be used for risers. Riser size should not exceed horizontal
size. Properly placed suction traps must also be used for adequate oil return.
All sizes shown are for O.D. Type L copper tubing.
2. Suction line sizes selected at pressure drop equivalent to 2F. Reduce estimate of system capacity accordingly.
3. Recommended liquid line size may increase with reverse cycle hot gas systems.
4. If system load drops below 40% of design, consideration to installing double suction risers should be made.

* NOTES:
1. Sizes that are highlighted indicate maximum suction line sizes that should be used for risers. Riser size should not exceed horizontal size.
Properly placed suction traps must also be used for adequate oil return.
All sizes shown are for O.D. Type L copper tubing.
2. Suction line sizes selected at pressure drop equivalent to 2F. Reduce estimate of system capacity accordingly.
3. Recommended liquid line size may increase with reverse cycle hot gas systems.
4. If system load drops below 40% of design, consideration to installing double suction risers should be made.

Definitions
Dry Bulb Temperature The temperature indicated by a
thermometer, not affected by the water vapor content air.
Wet Bulb Temperature The temperature of air indicated by
a wet bulb thermometer; the temperature at which water, by
evaporating into air, can bring the air to saturation adiabatically at
the same temperature.
Dew Point Temperature The temperature to which water vapor
in air must be reduced to produce condensation of the moisture
contained therein.
Relative Humidity The ratio of actual vapor pressure in the
air to the vapor pressure of saturated air at the same dry bulb
temperature.
Specific Humidity (Moisture Content of Humidity Ratio) The
weight of water vapor per pound of dry air.
Sensible Heat Heat which when added or subtracted from
the air changes only its temperature with no effect on specific
humidity.
Latent Heat Heat which effects a change of state without
affecting temperature, as in evaporating or condensing moisture.
Enthalpy (Total Heat) The sum of sensible and latent heat. In
the chart, enthalpy represents units of total heat content above
an arbitrary base in terms of BTU per pound of dry air.
Specific Volume Volume per unit of weight, the reciprocal of
density, in terms of cubic feet per pound of dry air.
Sensible Heat Factor The ratio of internal sensible heat to
internal total heat load.
Ratio Line The line extending from the space condition to the
saturation line at a slope determined by the sensible heat factor.
