4.6 External Heat Gain Through Partitions

The document outlines the calculation of external heat gain through partitions, detailing the selection of partition types and the determination of Cooling Load Temperature Difference (CLTD). It includes formulas for calculating sensible heat gain, R-value, and U-value, along with specific partition conditions and materials. The solution section provides calculated values for heat gain through walls facing different directions based on architectural plans and thermal properties.

6 External Heat Gain Through Partitions

Selection on Partitions type and CLTD Determination

(Assuming All Construction Details are same in Walls)

Table 8.3 A CLTD for Calculating Cooling Load from Sunlit Walls @ 24°

North Latitude, May-June

Table 8.5 Thermal Properties and Code Numbers of Layers for Walls and

Roofs

Table 8.6 C Wall Types Mass Located Outside Insulation

Formulas:

qs = U A (TD)
(eq. 4.6.1)

R-value = Ro + Rcon + Rins + Rplaster + Ri


(eq. 4.6.2)

U = 1/R-value
(eq. 4.6.3)

TD = to – ti (eq.
4.6.4)

qsTOTAL = qsN + qsE + qsS + qsW


(eq. 4.6.5)

Where:

qs = Sensible Heat Gain

A = Partition Area Calculated from Architectural Plans (See Floor Plan


Design)

to = Outside Dry Bulb Temperature = 92.8 °F

ti = Inside Dry Bulb Temperature of the Adjacent Unconditioned Space

ti = 75 °F

TD = Design Temperature Difference (Normally 20 °F)

Given:
Partition Conditions Based on the Plan

Mass Location: Outside Insulation

Principal Material: C12 = 2 in. Heavyweight Concrete

Secondary Material: E1 = ¾ in. of plaster

2.73 in. of Batt Insulation: Finished inside

Assume resistance is compatible with 10.0 mph wind and still air
indoors

Philippines

Year-Round)

From Table 8.5

Ro = Outside surface resistance = A0 = 0.33

Rcon = 4 in. Heavyweight Concrete Block = C3 = 0.71

Rins = 0.61 in. Insulation = B21 = 4.50

Rplaster = ¾ in. Plaster = E1 = 0.15

Ri = Inside surface resistance = E0 = 0.69

Solution:

R-value = Ro + Rcon + Rins + Rplaster + Ri

R-value = 0.33 + 0.71 + 4.50 + 0.15 + 0.69

R-value = 6.38 °F * ft2 * hr / Btu


(value, eq. 4.6.2)

U-value = 1 / R = 0.1567 Btu / °F * ft2 * hr


(value, eq. 4.6.3)

TD = to – ti

TD = (92.8 – 75) °F ; TD = 17.8 °F


(value, eq. 4.6.4)

Based in Design Conditions


Partition/Wall Type No. 2 – in Table 8.6C @ R = 6.38 & C3 – in Table
8.3A @ 15 hrs Solar Time

1.0 @ Partition Wall facing = North

qsN = U A (TD); A = 39.61119 ft2
