"
THE variables affecting cooling-load calculations are riumerous, often difficult to define precisely, and always intricately inter-related. Most of the components,of the cooling load vary in magnitude;.over a wide range during a 24-hour period, and , as the cyclic changes in'load coinponents are not usually in phase with each other, careful analysis is re quired to establish the resultant maximum, cooling load for a building or zone. A zoned system must often handle peak loads in different zones at
different hours.
Economic considerations must be of particular influence in the selection
of equipment for cooling season operation in comfort air conditioning, and
this fact," coupled with present inadequacies in available data.and knowl
edge of the air-conditioning art, places a.preinium on the" experienced judg
ment essential to successful design or practice. Variations in the weather,
building occupancy, and other factors, affecting load, necessitate carefully
coordinated controls to regulate simultaneously the components and the
equipment in order to maintain the desired room conditions.
"' l"
The calculation procedures presented in this chapter deal with the vari
ous instantaneous rates of heat.,gain, both sensible and latentj in a condi
tioned space. There may be" an appreciable difference between the net
instantaneousrate of heal gain and the (6tal cooling load at any mlfaht. This
difference is caUsed by the storage and subsequeht ireleAse of heat by the
structure and its contents.' This thermal-storage effect may be quite im
portant in determining ah economical cooling equipment capacity. The
lack of any adequate means of treating this storage quantitatively in its
entirety for a complete structure', must be. recognized'in judging the pro
cedures and data presented for calculating individual components of the
net rate of instantaneous heat gainl
' :;
Solar healing calculations involve the same principles as codling load calculations.. Many, of the data on solar radiation given in this chapter
can be used in calculations for solar.heating.

COOLING LOAD; CALCULATIONS
Summer cooling load calculations, whether for industrial or comfort . applications, require consideration of the following factors:
A. Design Conditions: (1) indoor conditions; (2) outdoor conditions; (3) venti
lation rate.
' '
B. Instantaneous Heat Load, Sensible arid Latent: (1) load from solar radiation,
