
Appliances
– most appliances contributes both
sensible and latent heat load.
– They contribute latent heat by virtue of
their function ex. drying, cooking
– Hood to remove this is most effective

SUPPLY AIR DUCT LOSSES

In transferring air from system
cooling coil to space, four losses
must be considered;
–
–
–

Supply duct heat gain
supply duct leakage loss
fan heat
bypassed outdoor air

SUPPLY DUCT HEAT GAIN



Supply air in the duct at 50°F to
60°F passes through surrounding
environment above 90°F - potential
heat gain to supply air
Insulation reduces this gain
Typical figure < 2% of RSH

SUPPLY DUCT LEAKGE LOSS




Lost capacity in the supply air duct
depends on duct shape, duct
pressure and workmanship.
Low pressure (0 - 2”s.p) : <5%
Medium pressure (2” - 6”s.p) : 2% 3%
High pressure (6” & above) : <1%

FAN HEAT


Draw through (draw through the
cooling coil) fan add heat to air
supply. Electrical losses for motor




HEAT LOAD 2
Outdoor air/ventilation rates from
Table 11-Ventilation Std.
Outdoor air quantity can be
determined either by cfm/person or
cfm/ft2 or airchange rate (ach)
Air change is defined as the quantity
of changed air every hour
cfm = vol x ach
