'
THE variables affecting cooling-load calculations are numerous, 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 com
ponents are not usually in phase with each other, careful analysis is
required to establish the resultant maximum codling load for a building Or
zone. A zoned system must often handle peak loads in different zones at
different hours.
.
Economic considerations must be particularly influential in the selec tion of equipment for cooling season operation in comfort air conditioning and this fact, coupled with present inadequacies, in available data and knowledge of the air-conditioning art, places a premium on the experi enced judgment essential to successful design; or practice. Variations in the weather, building occupancy, and other factors affecting load neces sitate carefully coordinated controls to regulate simultaneously the com ponents and .the equipment to maintain the desired room conditions.'
The calculation procedures presented in this chapter deal with the various instantaneous rates of heat gain both sensible and latent, in a conditioned space. There may be an appreciable difference'between the net instantaneous rate of heat gain and the total cooling load at any
instant. ' This difference is caused by the storage and subsequent release of heat by the structure and its contents. This thermal-storage effect may be quite important in determining.an economical cooling equipmentcapacity. The lack of any' adequate means of treating this storage quantitatively in its entirety for a complete structure must be recognized in judging the procedures and data presented for calculating individual components of the net rate of instantaneous heat gain.
Solar heating calculations involve the same'principles as cooling load' calculations. Many of the data on solar radiation given in this chapter are useful 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: (l).Indoor conditions. (2) Outdoor conditions. (3) Ventilation
rate.
.
B. Instantaneous Heat Load, Sensible and Latent(1) Lead from sojar radiation, sky radiation and from outdoor-indoor temperature differential for glass areas and exterior,:
walls and roofs, modified by periodic heat flow or lag factors depending on the type of structure. (2) Load due to heat gain through interior partitions,: ceilings ..and floors.;
(3) Load due to ventilation either natural or mechanical. (4) Load due to heat sources within the conditioned space such as people, lights, power equipment and appliances.
(5) Load due to moisture transfer through' permeable building materials. (6) Miscel
laneous heat sources. ...
