REFRIGERATION LOAD
Heat Gains from Walls, Roofs, and Floors; Air'Change load; Product food; Heat Gains from People, lights and Other - Sources; Short Method Calculations
TO SELECT refrigeration equipment which will result in ; a balanced system it is first necessary .to calculate the., heat load of the refrigerated space. There are four general
where x\, xt, xt, etc., are the thicknesses and ki, it, i, etc., are the conductivities of the several materials used.
After establishing the coefficient of transmittance U the
sources of heat: (1) wall heat gain; (2) air changes, (3) product heat gain is given by the basic equation:
load, and (4) miscellaneous loads, such as the heat gain,from .

At = difference between average outride temperature and
" WALL HEAT GAIN ' ~
average refrigerated space temperature, Fahrenheit - degrees.
The heat gain through walls, floor, and ceiling -will .vary with the following factors: type of. insulation, thickness of insulation, construction, outside wall area, and temperature' difference between'refrigerated space and ambient air.
The heat transfer factors at various temperature differences, are listed in Table 1. The thickness of cork referred to.in this table is' actual cork or equivalent insulation thickness, not the overall wall thickness. The comparative values'of various insulation materials can be found in Chapter 24, Table .4. ' ' .
The overall coefficient of heat transmission.;U, of the .wall'' can be found by the following equation:
The refrigeration industry has tended to standardire the
minimum insulation of a refrigerator.'Table 2 is a list'of
recommended minimum insulation thicknesses.' Installations
have been made with no insulation in the floor, but this type
of installation will not be discussed due to the lack of 'au
thentic data.
)
The outdoor design temperatures for the major cities in
the United States can be found in Table 1, Chapter 27..
. If the refrigerator is exposed to the sun, additional heat will
be added to the heat load. For practical purposes, the tem
perature difference can be adjusted to compensate for the sun
effect. The values given in Table 3 are applicable throughout
the 24 hr period and are added to the ambient temperature
in calculating wall heat gain.

one material, the value x/k represents the composite resistance ^ulue of the several materials used in series to the heat flow, aud for a wall with flat parallel surfaces of materials I, 2, 3, etc.,
AIR CHANGES
Each time the door is opened some outside air enters the
storage room. The temperature of this warm outside air must
be reduced to the storage temperature, thus adding to the re
frigeration load. It is difficult to determine the load with any
degree of accuracy. The traffic in a refrigerator usually varies
with its size or volume. The number of times doors are opened
is dependent upon the volume rather, than the number of
doors. The air changes listed in Table 4 are based'on practical
experience.-
*;'.*.
The heat removed to reduce one cubic foot of air from out
side conditions to the refrigerator temperature is listed in
Table 5. Inlet air temperature listed in Table-5 refers to the
air which enters the refrigerator when the doors open.
Table 4 does not apply, if outdoor air is provided. The
ventilating load under these conditions will replace .the door
opening load, if greater. To calculate the load due to ventila
tion, change the ventilating cubic feet per minute to cubic
feet per 24 hours (cfmX60X24) and use Table 5 for the heat
load per cubic foot of air.
PRODUCT LOAD
A product placed in a refrigerator at a temperature higher than the storage temperature will lose heat .until ii reaches the storage temperature. The quantity of heat to be removed for TC 2.1, Lc*d may be calculated from a knowledge of the product, including its state upon entering the refrigerator, its final state, its
