Selection
Procedures
Heating Capacity
Step 1
— Calculate the building heating
load using the Trane calculation form or
other standard accepted method.
Step 2
— Size the system heating
capacity to match the calculated
building heating load. The following are
building heating requirements:
a. Total heating load of 60.0 MBh
b. 2000 cfm
c. Fuel - Natural gas
For the YSC060A4 there are three
heating capacities available, 60 MBh, 80
MBh and 130 MBh input models shown
in Table PD-91. The output capacities of
these furnaces are 48 MBh, 64 MBh
and 104 MBh respectively. The medium
heat model with 64 MBh best matches
the building requirements, indicating a
YHC060A4*M should be selected.
Air Delivery Selection
External static pressure drop through
the air distribution system has been
calculated to be 0.7 inches of water.
Enter Table PD-64 for a YHC060A4*M at
2000 cfm and 0.70 static pressure. The
standard belt drive motor will give the
desired airflow with 1.07 bhp and 1094
rpm.
Accessory Selection
Select accessories needed to
accommodate the application.
Cooling Capacity
Step 1
Calculate the building’s total and sensible
cooling loads at design conditions. Use
the Trane calculation methods or any
other standard accepted method.
Factors used in unit selection:
A
Total Cooling Load: 58 MBh
B
Sensible Cooling Load: 40 MBh
C
Airflow: 2000 cfm
D
Electrical Characteristics: 460/60/3
E
Summer Design Conditions: Entering
Evaporator Coil: 80 DB, 67 WB Outdoor
Ambient: 95
F
External Static Pressure: 0.52 in. wg
G
Downflow Configuration
H
High Efficiency
I
Economizer
Step 2
As a starting point, a rough determination
must be made of the size of the unit. The
final selection will be made after
examining the performance at the given
conditions. Divide the total cooling load by
nominal BTUH per ton (12 MBh per ton);
then round up to the nearest unit size.
58 MBh / 12 MBh = approx. 5 tons
Step 3
Examine gross capacity: Table PD-13
shows that a YHC060A4 has a gross
cooling capacity of 62.4 MBh and 48.4
MBh sensible capacity at 2000 cfm and
95 DB outdoor ambient with 80 DB, 67
WB air entering the evaporator.
To Find Capacity at Intermediate
Conditions Not in the Table
When the design conditions are between
two numbers that are in the capacity
table, interpolation is required to
approximate the capacity. Note:
Extrapolation outside of the table
conditions is not recommended.
Step 4
Verify the unit will have enough capacity
to meet the building requirements by
determining the net capacity, which
includes heat generated by the fan. In
order to select the correct unit which
meets the building’s requirements, the
fan motor heat must be deducted from
the gross cooling capacity. The amount of
heat that the fan motor generates is
dependent on the effort by the motor -
cfm and static pressure. To determine the
total unit static pressure add the external
static pressure to the additional static
created by the added features:
External Static (duct system)
0.52 wg
Standard Filter 1 in.
0.06 wg
from Table PD-89
Economizer
0.18 wg
(100% Outside Air)
from Table
PD-89
Total Static Pressure
0.76 wg
Note: The Evaporator Fan Performance
Table PD-64 has deducted the pressure
drop for a 1 in. filter already in the unit
(see note below Table PD-64). Therefore,
the actual total static pressure is 0.76 -
0.06 (from Table PD - 89) = 0.70 wg.
With 2000 cfm and 0.70 wg., Table PD-64
shows 1.07 bhp for this unit. Note below
the table gives a formula to calculate Fan
Motor Heat,
2.829 x bhp + .4024 = MBH.
2.829 x 1.07 + .4024 = 3.43 MBH.
Now subtract the fan motor heat from
the gross cooling capacity of the unit:
Net Total Cooling Capacity
= 62.4 MBH - 3.43 = 58.97 MBH.
Net Sensible Cooling Capacity
= 48.4 MBH - 3.43 = 44.97 MBH.
Step 5
If the performance will not meet the
required load of the building’s total or
sensible cooling load, try a selection at
the next higher size unit.
