(System: 8 Ton, 164ft equivalent length, 49ft elevation
difference
The cooling capacity and heating capacity for this system are
found as shown below.)
Cooling operation
From the graph, the base capacity change rate is found to be
92.0%.
Capacity change rate is 92.0%.
(28.1kW
×
92.0% = 25.8kW)
92.0% = 88,320 BTU/h
Cooling capacity is
88,320 BTU/h (28.1 kW)
Heating operation
From the graph, the base capacity change rate is found to be
97.2%.
Because the calculation result exceeds 97.2%, the capacity
change rate is 97.2%.
(31.6kW
