Heating and Ventilating Systems 43

Answer:
24.4 gpm of water flows through the heating coil.

Now calculate the air TD across the heating coil if:

198,450 Btuh is the Sensible Room Heating Load.
The math is: 198,450 = 5250 cfm × 1.08 × 35 TD (105-70)

243,810 Btuh is the Sensible Coil Heating Load.

The difference of 45,360 Btuh (243,810–198,450) is the addi-
tional heat required for the outside air.
The math is: 45,360 = 1050 cfm × 1.08 × 40 TD (70-30)

LAT - leaving air temperature (coil). (Also called SAT, supply

air temperature) (105°F)
EAT - entering air temperature (coil), (also called RAT, room
air temperature) (70°F)
OAT - outside air temperature (30°F)

Then:
TD = Btuh ÷ (1.08 × cfm)
TD = 243,810 ÷ (1.08 × 5250)

Answer:
43°F TD (62 EAT + 43 TD = 105 LAT)
243,810 Btuh is the Sensible Coil Heating Load.
The math is: 243,810 = 5250 cfm × 1.08 × 43 TD (105-62)

The mixed air temperature (MAT also called EAT) was calculated
using this equation:

MAT = (%OA × OAT) + (%RA × RAT)

Where:
MAT = mixed air temperature
OAT = outside air temperature
RAT = return air temperature, also called room air tempera-
ture

Then:
MAT = (20% × 30°F) + (80% × 70°F)
MAT = (6) + (56)

Answer:
MAT = 62 °F

VENTILATING SYSTEMS

In occupied buildings, carbon dioxide, human odors and

other contaminants such as volatile organic compounds (VOC) or
odors and particles from machinery and the process function
need to be continuously removed or unhealthy conditions will
result. Ventilation is the process of supplying “fresh” outside air
to occupied buildings in the proper amount to offset the contami-
nants produced by people and equipment.
