The Sensible Heat Formula: Q = C x M x ∆𝑇 Q= quantity of sensible heat in BTU/hr M= mass C= specific heat of material ∆𝑇= temp difference Applied to Standard Air Applied to Water (not glycol)
Psychrometrics can be used to predict changes in the environment when the amount of heat and/or moisture in the air changes. Use of psychrometric analysis is also important to determine the volume flow rates of air to be pushed into the ducting system and the sizing of the major system components.
Principles of Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning is a textbook based on the 2017 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals . It contains the most current ASHRAE procedures and definitive, yet
The chart provides a graphic representation of the properties of moist air including wet- and dry-bulb temperature, relative humidity, dew point, moisture content, enthalpy, and air density. The chart is used to plot the changes that occur in the air as it passes through an air handling system and is particularly useful in understanding these.
It is important to use the correct procedure for estimating heat gain or heat loss. Two groups—the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)—publish calculation procedures for sizing central air conditioners.
HVACR FORMULAS. TON OF REFRIGERATION - The amount of heat required to melt a ton (2000 lbs.) of ice at 32°F 288,000 BTU/24 hr. 12,000 BTU/hr. APPROXIMATELY 2 inches Hg. (mercury) = 1 psi.
