HVAC DESIGN FORMULAS – QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

1. COOLING LOAD CALCULATIONS

--------------------------------

Total Cooling Load = Sensible Load + Latent Load

A. Wall / Roof Heat Gain (Conduction)

Q = U × A × ∆T

B. Glass Solar Heat Gain

Q = A × SHGF × SC

C. People Heat Gain

Total = Number × (Sensible + Latent)

D. Lights Heat Gain

Q = Wattage × 1.25

E. Equipment Heat Gain

Q = Wattage × Usage Factor

2. LATENT HEAT LOAD

-------------------------------

QL = 3024 × CFM × (ωo – ωi)

3. VENTILATION (ASHRAE 62.1)

------------------------------------------

Ventilation CFM = (CFM/person × People) + (CFM/m² × Area)

4. COOLING COIL LOAD

-------------------------------
Q = 4.5 × CFM × (h_entering – h_leaving)

5. TONNAGE (TR)

---------------------

1 TR = 12,000 Btu/hr = 3.517 kW

TR = Total Load (W) / 3517

6. AIRFLOW (CFM)

-------------------------------

CFM = 1.6 × TR

or

CFM = Q / (1.08 × ∆T)

7. DUCT SIZING (Velocity Method)

------------------------------------------

Area = CFM / Velocity

Typical Velocities:

Main duct: 6–8 m/s

Branch duct: 3–4 m/s

8. STATIC PRESSURE

--------------------------------

SP_total = SP_duct + SP_fittings + SP_filter + SP_coil + SP_diffusers

9. PUMP HEAD

------------------------

Pump Head = Pipe friction + Coil loss + Valve loss + Misc losses
