 INTERNAL LOADS

 Appliances
– most appliances contributes both
sensible and latent heat load.
– They contribute latent heat by virtue of
their function ex. drying, cooking
– Hood to remove this is most effective

 SUPPLY AIR DUCT LOSSES

 In transferring air from system

cooling coil to space, four losses
must be considered;
– Supply duct heat gain
– supply duct leakage loss
– fan heat
– bypassed outdoor air
HEAT LOAD 2

 SUPPLY DUCT HEAT GAIN

 Supply air in the duct at 50°F to

60°F passes through surrounding
environment above 90°F - potential
heat gain to supply air
 Insulation reduces this gain
 Typical figure < 2% of RSH

 SUPPLY DUCT LEAKGE LOSS

 Lost capacity in the supply air duct

depends on duct shape, duct
pressure and workmanship.
 Low pressure (0 - 2”s.p) : <5%
 Medium pressure (2” - 6”s.p) : 2% -
3%
 High pressure (6” & above) : <1%

cooling coil) fan add heat to air
supply. Electrical losses for motor
