HVAC Design Calculations Overview

The document calculates the cooling load for a cold storage facility. It summarizes: 1) The transmission load through walls, roof and floor based on U-values and surface areas. 2) The product load from product exchange and respiration based on mass, specific heat, and temperature differences. 3) The internal heat loads from people, lighting, fans and other equipment run times and power ratings. 4) The infiltration load based on air changes, volumes, and temperature differences. 5) The total daily cooling load is calculated to be 73.55 kWh with a safety factor of 88.27 kWh, requiring a refrigeration capacity of 6.30 kW.
