(5) The total coil loadmay. be calculated fromthe'erithalpy difference across the coil and the air quantity using the weight iof dry air instead of the weight of the mixture.

Xhus coil 6 rows deep, operating at a refrigerant temperature; of. 30.2 F and a face; velocity of 400 fpm, is required; and it will carry a total load of 43,200 Btu per (hour) (square foot of face area). ..The air. conditions leaving.the coilare too low for the con-; ditions of the problem and therefore it is necessary to by-pass air at the entering
condition to obtain the desired result of 80,5 F dry-bulb and 73 F wet-bulb.
Although the preceding solution is satisfactory, it may be more desirable in some
cases to use a higher refrigerant temperature and employ reheat to obtain the desired
load ratio. Such a solution is shown in Fig. 14. In thus case, the coil load ratio line
intersects the saturation curve and, therefore, a coil of any depth may be selected.
If a coil depth of 6 rows is maintained, the exit air conditions for the coil are indi
cated at point B Fig. 14 as 72.3 F dry-bulb and 70.8 F wet-bulb and the surface temper
ature will be:

The coil load will be: 9t = 1700(49.24 -- 34.66) = 24,800 Btirper (hour} (sqtfare foot of face area) and the refrigerant temperature will be. found from Equation 9:

Therefore,, t =. 69,0 -- 12.7 = 56.3..
Thus, for the case where reheat is used, a coil 6 rows deep operating at a refrigerant
temperature of 56.3 F is required. ' The total coil load will be 24;800 Btu per (hour)
(square foot of face area) but the actual effective load will be less by the'amount of
reheat.required... Therefore, for a given load, a larger coil and more refrigerating
capacity'are required when reheat is used. -
