Controls Air Conditioning Calculations How do you do air conditioning calculations on the capacity of alr conditioner for your room? This calculation is important because if done wrongly, you will tend up installing an oversize or undersize equipment. An oversized air Conditioner is not good as the compressor will run and stop regularly and not able to cool the room uniformly. Tt will also cause discomfort to the occupants as the dehumidfication of the room is not properly done. On top of that, the electricity bill will be high as the compressor tums on and off too often, Every time the on/off type of compressor starts to run, Its power consumption Is 6 times higher than when it is running steadily. ‘The cycling on and off of the compressor will ead to shorter life span of the compressor besides having to spend more on the unit price and installation cost. {An undersized unit will not be able to cool the room properly and more so if the weather is hot. Cooling Capacity Cooling capacity for a room is defined as the heat joad in a room that have to be removed in order to achieve a certain room temperature and humicity. The typical design is set to 24°C temperature and 55% Relative Humidity. ‘Study shows that this combination of temperature and RH is the most ‘conducive for the human body. The unit used to measure hest load is BTU/hr. 1 BTU/hr is the heat energy needed to increase 1 pound of water by Ler. When choosing an alr conditioner, usually a 1 HP (horse power) equipment Is able to remove 9,000 BTU/hr of heat. With better technology, some machines are able to remove 10,000 BTU/hr of heat with the same capacity, The higher the listed BTU/hr, the greater the cooling capacity. Air Conditioning Calculations - Rule Of Thumb Calculating the cooling capacity needed for your room is @ complicated process as there are many factors to consider. However, there is @ simple rule of thumb that you can use to estimate the required cooling capacity for your room. Use this result to compare with the calculation done by the air Conditioning contractors for your own checking purposes. cokes, som owen se request peter.

This Is done by measuring the length, width and height of the room in feet and multiply all the three dimensions together. Volume = Width X Length x Height (cubie feet) Step 2 Multiply this volume by 6. C1 = Volume x 6 Step 3 Estimate the number of people (N) that will usually occupy this room. Each person produces about S00 BTU/hr of heat for normal office-related activity. Multiply this two figures together. 2 = Nx 500 BTU/hr Step 4 [Adg C1 and C2 tagether and you will get a very simplified cooling capa needed for the room. Estimated Cooling Capacity needed = Ci + C2 (BTU/hr) Air Conditioning Calculations - Other Factors Other factors that your contractor will consider to determine the sizing of the cooling capacity include the direction of your room, If the room is facing feast or west, adcitional capacity is needed as it will be exposed to the ‘morning and evening sun compared to a room that faces north or south. If the lighting of the room emits 2 lot of heat, additional capacity is needed. If electrical appliances that generate heat is used, additional capacity has to be factored in The type of material of the room and windows are also important consideration Related Topics ‘SEER Calculation Learn what is Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio(SEER) to help you purchase a better heat pump unit HVAC Softwares There are many softwares in the market that greatly help designers to reduce the product design cycle time, Cooling Load Find the explanation on the basic of caoling load here.
