INTRODUCTION OF COOLING LOAD CALCULATION

When designing a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system, perhaps the first consideration that comes to mind is to select a system that is large enough to maintain the desired conditions inside the home at all times, even in the worst weather conditions. Can live in But sizing an HVAC system based on the worst weather on record is not practical because such a large system will have a higher initial cost, take up more space, and possibly have a higher operating cost because in this case the equipment will run at partial load most of the time and Thus at low efficiency. Air conditioner sizes are based on heat gain and/or loss in a building.

INTERNAL COOLING LOAD & EXTERNAL COOLING LOAD

It is clear that if the outdoor temperature is high, the amount of heat gain that needs to be removed. Similarly, if the outside temperature is cold, heat loss from the space may need to be added. In short, in order to achieve the desired comfort in the room that we want, heat gain and loss by heat removal and addition must be equally balanced. In this design it is desired that the space inside the boat be made comfortable for the occupants. We need to reject the heat from the boat to the surrounding environment in order to serve the desired purpose.
