Here's a chart to speed up the calcula tions needed in routine follow-up of re* frigerating-plani performance. To find the actual ton-rate capacity used per ton of ice produced, apply tho following formula,
Actual ton rate >
0.8 raa-T) + (W33) + 144 144 x efficiency
Where T i the temperature of the brine and < ia the temperature of the water in degrees F.
Excmpte: Find the actual ton rate per ton of ice output when brine temper ature is 19.8 T, water temperature is 63.1 F, and plant efficiency 05.5%. Lay a straight edge from the appropriate numbers on the temperature scales to find the intersection on the theoretical ton-rate ecalc. Then lay the straight edge from (his intersection through the efficiency scole to read the answer of 1.471 actual ton rote per ton oi ice output.
