Load CalculationLoad Calculation
•Essential for a properly performing job
•Shortcuts are not encouraged
•BTUs not CFM!!!
•Loads give you net values
•Equipment discussed in nominal values
Load ExceptionsLoad Exceptions
•Sensible vs Latent•Don’t add 1/3rd for latent
•Sunrooms•Where does it face?
•Commercial applications•Exceptional heat sources?
Load CalculationLoad Calculation•ACCA Manual J•Industry Standard
•Currently revision 8
•Not for commercial loads
•Cautions in rooms with large glass areas•Use peak function for large glass areas

ALTITUDE CORRECTION
ALTITUDE CORRECTION
•determine atmospheric pressure at given altitude
Step One
Altitude Pressure = 14.696x(1-6.87535E-06xA)
5.2561
Where: A = altitude in feet
Step Two
•Correct CFM for AltitudeCorrected CFM =
529.67xaxb14.696x(c+459.6
7)Where: a=pressure at altitude, b=specific CFM, c=entering air temperature

System DesignSystem DesignLet’s do a house!
My Mother-In-Law’s house
My Mother-In-Law’s My Mother-In-Law’s househouse
• 80’s Ranch.
• On a slab
• Attic space available
• Windows are double pane, low “e”
• Walls are R13
• Ceilings are 8’ R19
• Heated with boiler and baseboard (cooling only)
• 70 by 38 ft.

Where do I fit the Where do I fit the Equipment in ?Equipment in ?
•Look for a central return grill spot
•Horizontal or Vertical Unit
•Spacepak in the attic or basement
•Reaching the other floors w/ 2”
•“I want the condenser behind the garage”
•Commercial and multi-zone systems

• Best Location for Return Air Grill
• Split Return Air?
2. Unit Location Dictates Trunk Layout
• Best Option for Trunk Layout?
3. Outlet Location: Dictates Trunk Run
– How Many Outlets, Where do they go?

• Restrictors and Balancing:
• Each 2”run will provide between 1700-2000 btu at a run length of 10’-20’
• 3 restrictor sizes
• 15%, 30% and 50%
• Living room = 3 full runs
• Family room = 5 full runs
• How about the Dining room?
• Needs two outlets but gain is only 2800 btu.
• Use 2 30% restrictors on both runs. = 2800 btu
• Runs must total 19 full open for 3642D – 850 CFM to get ESP to 1” and 1.5” W.C.

Considerations:Considerations:• Want to keep runs as close as possible to 10 feet in
length. Full 40 cfm and 2000 btu per outlet makes it much easier to balance…..
• Generally less $$$ to run supply plenum extra distance than run long 2” runs.
• Want to “premake” the 2” runs downstairs where it’s nice and cool!!!!

Estimating The JobEstimating The Job• Good measurements can make you money
• Old homes are gold but full of surprises
• Refer to Spacepak’s Typical equipment list
• Two sizes fit all
• Spacepak is a premium product
• Selling the extras
Airflow ConsiderationsAirflow Considerations
•Spacepak min. required outlets 14, 19, 26
•Split or extended return duct
•Filters
•New air handler, old system
We Never UndersizeWe Never Undersize
•Conventional systems undersize for humidity removal
•Difficult to keep up on 100° days
•Space Pak’s 6 row coil
•Humidity control built in
•Size for the worst day
