Condenser Flow Rate

The condenser water flow rate can be expressed as
Qc = Htons x 30 / T
Where
Qc = Condenser water flow rate (GPM)
Htons = Air conditioning cooling load (tons)
T = Temperature differential between inlet and outlet (F)
Note the equation above assumes 25% heat of compression.
CONDENSATE GENERATION
Condensate generation in an air condition system where specific humidity before and
after are known can be expressed as
Q Cond = Q air x W Lb / (SpV x 8.33)
Q Cond = Q air x W GR / (SpV x 8.33 x 7000)

Where
Q Cond = Air Conditioning condensate generated (GPM)
Q air = Air Flow Rate through the air-handling unit cooling c oil (Cu-ft / minute)
SpV = Specific Volume of Air (Cu-ft per lb of dry air)
W Lb = Specific Humidity diff. between inlet and outlet of air stream across coil
(lb-H2O per
lb of dry air)
W GR = Specific Humidity diff. between inlet and outlet of air stream acros s coil (Gr.
H2O per lb of dry air)

FLOW RATES IN HEATING SYSTEMS

The volumetric flow rate in a heating system can be expressed by the basic equation:
Q = H / (Cp x x T)
Where
Q = volumetric flow rate (GPM)
H = heat flow rate (Btu/hr)
CP = specific heat capacity (Btu/lb-F)
= density (lb/ft3 )
T = temperature difference (F)

The basic equation can be expressed for water with temperature 600F flow rate as:

Q = H (7.48 gal/ft3 ) / ((1 Btu/lb- 0F) (62.34 lb/ft3 ) (60 min/h)T)

Or
Q = h / (500 x T)
Where
Q = Water flow rate (GPM)
H = Heat flow rate (Btu/hr)
T = Temperature difference (0F) (usually 20F)
For more exact volumetric flow rates for hot water the properties of hot water should be
used.
Water Mass Flow Rate Water mas s flow can be express ed as:
m = h / ((1.2 Btu/lb- 0F) x T)
Where
m = mass flow (lb/hr)
