hello folks,

our company is putting up a multidrive system in a room with airconditioners to bring down the heat generated by the system of about 26kw.

i'm looking for a formula how much airconditioning horsepower we would need.

thank you for any help.

SELECTION OF AC DEPENDS ON FOLLOWING CRITERIA
1.AREA OF THE ROOM
2.HEAT GENERATING APPLIANCES IN THAT ROOM.
3.NO OF PERSON GOING TO OCCUPY THAT ROOM.

GENERALLY-1.O TONN IS USED IN 100 SQFT AREA.

NOW I TAKE YOUR QUEST.
I ASSUME HERE THAT YOUR ROOM AREA IS 150 SQFT WITH CEILING HEIGTH OF 12 FTS.
ALSO U SAID THAT HEAT OF 26 KW WILL BE GENEARATE BY UR SYSTEM.

THAN BTU=0.7XWATTSX3.5 (0.7 IS TAKEN BECOZ 26 KW WILL NOT BE
FULLY CONVERTED TO HEAT SO I TAKE 70%)

SO BTU=0.7X26000X3.5=63700

ALSO IF THERE ARE 6 PERSON THAN
BTU=6X350=2100

AS AREA IS 150 SQFT THE NUMBER OF BTU REQ IS=18000 BTU(1.5 TONN)

SO TOTAL BTU=63700+2100+18000=83800


NOW TOTAL TONN=BTU/12000=83800/12000=6.9 TONN

NOW HP=0.8TON
=0.8X6.9
=5.5

THIS IS THE ANSWER.I HOPE U HAVE UNDERSTOOD.FOR ANY QUERIES FEEL FREE TO CONTACT

3,413BTU/hr=1KW
Number of tons of AC=heat generated in BTU/12000.
So for 26 KW
# tons=26*3,413/12000
