Ok..this
time i want share the simple basic of calculation how to sizing the
air-conditioner.This is a critical part to ensure our selection is suitable
with our requirement for room or any space that we want to cooling.
We
must calculate the total heat for that room in unit Btu/hr.From this we can
convert Btu/hr to air-conditioner size in horse power ( Hp ).We can estimate
the size depend on horse power ( hp ).
Total heat calculation ( Btu/hr ) :
1) Measure your room
or space area ( width x length ).Use a metric unit for measurement ( meter
).Multiply
with 700 to get in Btu/hr
Example : Room area = 10
meter x 6 meter = 60 m2
Btu/hr
= 60 x 700 = 42,000 Btu/hr
2) Estimate occupant
for this room.multiply with 500 to get in Btu/hr
Example : 5 peoples x 500 =
2500 Btu/hr
3) Estimate the heat
from electrical equipments such as lighting,television,computer,fax machine,radio or etc.Refer wattage
for equipment and multiply with 3.5
so
450 watt x 3.5 = 1575 Btu/hr
4) So we add all
answer to get a total Btu/hr.
Example
: 42,000 Btu/hr + 2,500 Btu/hr + 1,575 Btu/hr = 46,075 Btu/hr
5) To get air-conditioner sizing,
we must divide Total heat ( Btu/hr) with 9800 Btu/hr
*
This value is depend on cooling
capacity for each air-conditioner due to efficiency of compressor.It maybe
9,800 btu/hr,10,000 btu/hr or 12,000 btu/hr
Example
: 46,075 / 9800 = 4.7 hp
6) From this answer
we can estimate to choose a 5 Hp of air-conditioner for our room.
If
you not sure to calculate air-conditioner size for your room,Please contact
your local HVAC expert and the will calculate and advice the suitable size and
types of air-conditioner for you.
This
calculation is just for estimation value.It not absolute answer for your air-conditioner
sizing.You
can make a comparison your estimate air-conditioner size with your local HVAC
expert.I hope this information
can
help all of you how to sizing the air-conditioner to avoid unnecessary cost.
