Heat Load Calculation

The document provides heat load calculations for meat storage rooms and hallways at Batangas State University. It calculates the transmission load through walls, air change load, miscellaneous loads from lights, motors and occupancy, and product load. The total heat load is calculated to be 15.16 kW for some rooms and 16.44 kW for others. Recommendations are provided for selecting a compressor, evaporator, and condenser capable of handling this heat load for an ammonia refrigeration system with the given design conditions.

Meat Storage (Rooms 11-22)
Basis for Estimate
Volume = 18.20

1. Transmission Load – heat load through walls


 Use 6-in thick polyurethane
 Assume perfect insulation on walls other than hallways

For walls exposed to Hallways 11, 12, and 13:

Outside temperature = 10⁰C = 50⁰F Inside temperature = -20⁰C = -4⁰F

Temperature reduction = 54⁰F

Using Table 1 – Wall Heat Loads (Page 13), by interpolation:

Transmission load = 25.6 BTU/day per square foot of surface

For walls exposed to Hallways 14 and 15

Outside temperature = 0⁰C = 32⁰F Inside temperature = -20⁰C = -4⁰F

Temperature reduction = 36⁰F

Using Table 1 – Wall Heat Loads (Page 13), by interpolation:

Transmission load = 5.559 BTU/day per square foot of surface

For Rooms 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21: 1 wall exposed to Hallway 15 or Hallway 14

Transmission load = 5.559 BTU/day per square foot of surface x (59.7142ft x 42.653ft)

Transmission load = 14158.65084 BTU/day

For rooms 13, 16, 19, 22: 1 wall exposed to Hallway 13, 1 wall exposed to Hallway 15 or 14

Transmission load = 5.559 BTU/day per square foot of surface x (59.7142ft x 42.653ft)
+ 25.6 BTU/day per square foot of surface x (87.1105ft x 42.653ft)

Transmission load = 109276.0692 BTU/day

2. Air change load


Average air change
Since room temp is below 0⁰C, use Table 5 (page 14)

Volume of room = 59.7142ft x 87.11055ft x 42.653ft = 221869.6799 cubic ft.


By interpolation:
No. of air changes per hour = 0.88906516 air change per 24 hrs.

𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒


No. of air changes per hour = 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒

𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒


0.88906516 air change per 24 hrs. = 221869.6799 cubic ft

Volume flow rate = 136. 9837517 cubic ft per min

Using Table 6 (page 14)


Inside temp = -20⁰C ; Outside air temp = 10⁰C
Assume RH outside = 80%
By interpolation:
Total heat removed = 1.646428571 BTU/ft3

Air change load = 324768.9061 BTU/day

3. Miscellaneous loads
a. Lights
 Since it is not specified, we will use the typical value ranging from 1 to 1.5
watt/ft2

1.25 W/ft2 = 4500 J/hr-ft x 24 hrs/day x (59.7142ft x 87.11055ft) = 561787574 J/day

Heat Load due to Lights = 532471.88146952 BTU/day

b. Motors
 Since motor or loading conditions are unknown, use 1hp per 16000 ft3 box
 Assume that the dimensions of pallet box are standard (1m x 1m x 1.2m)

Using Table 11 (page 18)

Load in ref. space = 3700 BTU/hp-hr


𝐵𝑇𝑈 1 ℎ𝑝 1.2𝑚3
Heat load due to motors = 3700 ℎ𝑝 ℎ𝑟 𝑥 𝑥
16000 𝑓𝑡3 13 /3.2813

Heat load due to motors = 235.2301147 BTU/day


c. Occupancy
 Number of persons = 2
 Inside temperature = -20 ⁰C = -4 ⁰F

Using Table 12 – Heat Equivalent of occupancy (page 18)

By interpolation:

Heat equivalent /person = 32160 BTU/day per person

Total Occupancy Load = 2 persons x 32160 BTU/day per person

Total Occupancy Load = 64320 BTU/day

Total Miscellaneous loads = light loads + motor loads + occupancy load

Total Miscellaneous loads = 532471.88146952 BTU/day + 235.2301147 BTU/day + 64320


BTU/day

Total Miscellaneous loads = 597027.1116 BTU/day

4. Product Load
Using Table 7, page 16
 Assume livers, frozen (for the -20⁰C specified room temperature)

Cp below freezing = 0.41 BTU/lb ⁰F


𝑙𝑏 5
Total product load = mCp ΔT = 17637 ℎ𝑟 x 0.41 BTU/lb ⁰F x 9 x (-16 – (-18) )

Total product load = 192831.2 BTU/day

5. Safety Factor

6. Hourly Heat Load

7.

TOTAL HEAT LOAD:

= transmission load + air change load + miscellaneous loads + product load

 For rooms 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21:

Total heat load = (14158.65084 + 324768.9061 + 597027.1116 + 192831.2) BTU/day

Total heat load = 1128785.869 BTU/day


Total heat load = 13.78320708 kW

With 10% safety factor,

Total heat load = 15.16152779 kW

 For rooms 13, 16, 19, 22


Total heat load = (109276.0692 + 324768.9061 + 597027.1116 + 192831.2) BTU/day

Total heat load = 1223903.287 BTU/day

Total heat load = 14.94465241 kW

With 10% safety factor,

Total heat load = 16.43911765 kW

For selection of compressor:

- Refrigerant: R717 (Ammonia)

- Capacity:
4.9494 kW (For rooms 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21)

5.3664 kW (For rooms 13, 16, 19, 22)

- Evaporating Temperature:

From Recommended Temperature difference (page 21)

For meat product, Class 2, TD ranges from 10⁰F to 12⁰F

As stated in the same page, it is considered a good practice o use a max TD of 10


⁰F

Therefore, use TD = 10⁰F = -12.22⁰C

With room temp of -20⁰C, we will use evaporating temperature of -32.22⁰C
