Selection
Procedures
Cooling Capacity
Step 1
Calculate the building’s total and sensible
cooling loads at design conditions. Use
the Tranecalculation form or any other
standard accepted method.
Step 2
Given the following building
requirements:
A
Electrical Characteristics: 460/60/3
B
Summer Design Conditions:
Entering Evaporator Coil: 80 DB/ 67 WB
Outdoor Ambient: 95 DB
C
Total Cooling Load: 172 MBh
D
Sensible Cooling Load: 122 MBh
E
Airflow: 6000 cfm
F
External Static Pressure: .50 in. w.g.
G
Rooftop - downflow configuration.
H
Accessories
Economizer
Supplementary Electric Heat
I
Heating Capacity 88 MBh
460 volt/3 phase Electric Supplemental
Heat - at 6000 cfm
Size the equipment using Table PD-3.
As a starting point, a rough determination
of the size of the unit must be made. This
selection will then be confirmed after
examining the performance at the given
conditions. Divide the total cooling load
by nominal BTUH per ton (12 MBh per
ton); then round up to the nearest unit
size.
172 MBh/12 MBh = 14.33 (approx. 15
tons.)
Step 3
Table PD-3 shows that a WCD180B4 has
a gross cooling capacity of 183.0 MBh
and 129.0 MBh sensible capacity at 95
degree ambient and 6000 cfm with 80
DB/67 WB air entering the evaporator.
To Find Capacity at Intermediate
Conditions
When the design conditions are between
two numbers that are in the capacity
table, interpolation is required to
approximate the capacity.
Note: Extrapolation outside of the table
conditions is not recommended.
Step 4
Verify that there will be enough capacity
by determining net capacity. In order to
select the correct unit which meets the
building’s requirements, the fan motor
heat must be deducted from the gross
cooling capacity. The amount of heat that
the fan motor generates is dependent on
the effort by the motor cfm and static
pressure. To determine the total unit static
pressure, add the following:
External Static: 0.50 in.
Standard Filter 1 in: 0.11 in. (from table
PD-13)
Economizer Return Air: 0.04 in. (from
table PD-13)
Electric Heater Size 18 kW: .06 in.
Total Static Pressure: .71 in.
Note: The Evaporator Fan Performance
Table PD-7 has already accounted for the
pressure drop for standard filters and wet
coils.
Therefore, the actual Total Static
Pressure is .71 - .11 = .60.
With 6000 cfm and .60 inches, Table PD-7
shows 2.66 Bhp.
The note below Table PD-7 gives a
formula to calculate Fan Motor Heat:
3.15 x bhp = MBh
3.15 x 2.66 = 8.38 MBh
Now subtracting the fan motor heat from
the gross cooling capacity of the unit:
Net Total Cooling Capacity =
183-8.38=170.62
Net Sensible Cooling Capacity=
129-8.38=120.62
Step 5
If the performance will not meet the
required load of the building, try a
selection at the next higher size unit.
Heating Capacity
Step 1
Calculate the building heating load using
the Trane calculation form or other
standard accepted method.
Step 2
Size the equipment using Table PD-16 to
match the heating loads at design
conditions.
A
Total Heating Load: 88 MBh
B
Outdoor Ambient (Winter) 17 DB
C
Indoor Return Temperature: 70 DB
D
Airflow: 6000 Cfm
Use the integrated portion of Table
PD-16 for the WCD180B4 to determine
capacity at winter design conditions. The
mechanical heating portion of the heat
pump will provide 45 MBh.
Step 3
Because 45 MBh is less than the
building’s required heating capacity at
winter design conditions, a
supplementary heater must be selected.
88 MBh - 45 MBh = 43 MBh
From Table PD-20, at 480 volts, the 18 kW
Heater will be adequate to do the job.
18 kW 61 MBh
From Table ED-3 select heater
AYDHTRK418A (18 kW 460/60/3).
