different from those in factories, since there must be a considerable volume of air circulated in order to provide ventilation and cooling.
COOLINC LOAD
The cooling load may be divided into the following parts:
1. Transmission of heat through walls, roof, glass, etc., with allowances for sunexposed surfaces and heat capacity.
2. Transmission of solar radiation through glass and absorption by interior furnishings. 3. Heat and moisture from infiltration and from outside air introduced. 4. Heat and moisture from occupants and heat from lights, machinery and other sources.
Transmission With No Sun Effect
The transmission load for surfaces not exposed to the sun is calculated in
a manner similar to that described in Chapter 7, by means of the following formula:
where
Ht = AU (to -0
. (1)
Ht = heat transmitted through the material of the wall, glass, roof, or floor in Btu per hour.
A = net inside area of wall, glass, roof, or floor in square feet,
t = inside temperature, degrees Fahrenheit,
to -- outside temperature, degrees Fahrenheit.
u = coefficient of transmission of wall, floor, roof, or glass in Btu per hour per
square foot per degree Fahrenheit difference in temperature. (Tables 8 to 18, Chapter 5).
Temperatures
The maximum cooling load in summer may be calculated for an outside dry-bulb temperature not to exceed 95 F and a wet-bulb temperature not to exceed 80 F. . While higher outside dry-bulb temperatures are
frequently observed they are either of short duration or accompanied by
low relative humidities. Weather Bureau reports are frequently mis- .
leading in this respect as they report the maximum temperature for the
day with the relative humidity which occurs during a different period and
which usually is much higher than the relative humidity occurring at the
maximum temperature. Any statement of weather condition which gives
a wet-bulb temperature higher than 80 F in the United States is question
able.
p
Summer dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures for various cities are given in Table 1. It will be noted that the wet-bulb temperatures are not
the maximums but the design temperatures which should be used in airconditioning calculations. The maximum outside wet-bulb temperatures
as given in Weather Bureau reports usually occur only from 1 per cent ,to 4 per cent of the time, and they are therefore of such short duration that it is not practical to design a cooling system covering this range.
Sun Effect
Solar radiation is an important factor in the mechanism of heat flow into buildings. Research conducted at the A.S.H.V.E. Research Labora-
