    This document provides formulas for calculating heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) values. It includes equations for calculating total and sensible heat transfer in air, latent heat transfer, humidification rate, air flow rates, air pressure drop, water-side heat transfer, water flow rates, and water pressure drop. It also includes the affinity laws relating fan and pump properties, definitions of common HVACR terms like tons of refrigeration and efficiency metrics, and conversion factors between units.

    HVAC Formulae

    AirSide

    QTotal=CFM x (hi‐hf) x 4.5 Btuh

    QSensible=CFM x (ti‐tf) x 1.085 Btuh

    QLatent=CFM x (Gri‐Grf) x 0.068 Btuh

    Humidification = CFM x (Grf‐Gri) /1,555lbs /hr

    CFM = l/s x 2.12

    Air Pressure Drop (in.WG) = Pa/249

    WaterSide

    Q = USGPM x (ti‐tf) x 500 Btuh

    Q = USGPM x (ti‐tf) x 450 Btuh (50% E.G.)

    Q = USGPM x (ti‐tf) /24Tons

    USGPM = l/s x 15.85

    Water Pressure Drop (ft.wg) = kPa x 0.335

    1.0 PSI = 2.31 wg

    7,000 Grains = 1.0 lb

    The Affinity Laws (Fan/Pump Laws)

    rpm2/ rpm 1 = flow 2/ flow 1

    ∆P2/ ∆P1= (Flow2 /Flow1)2

    mhp2/ mhp1=(Flow2 /Flow1)3

    Pump BHP = USGPM x Head (ft. wg)/ 3960 x Pump Efficiency

    FanBHP=CFM x S.P. (inchesWG)/ 6356 x Static Efficiency

    Air‐Conditioning Basics

    1 Ton of refrigeration=12,000 Btu/h = 200Btu/min

    1 Therm =100,000 Btuh =100 MBH

    COP = 3.516/(kw/Ton)

    EER =Tons x 12/(TotalkWinput)

    Btuh = Watt x 3.412

    HP = kW x 1.3405

    1 Boiler HP = 33.48 MBH

    1 USGallon = 8.33lbs

    1watt=3.412Btu/h

    2|P a g e
    1horsepower=2545Btu/h

    1lb=7000 grains

    1ft(head)=0.433 psi

    1 sq ft EDR(equivalent direct radiation) = 240 Btu

    1 boiler horse power = 33,479 Btu/h

    No. of air changes(N) = 60 cfm/ft3

    Chiller capacity (tons)= gpm (chilledwater) x ∆t x (water)/24

    ForAir:

    1 lb/h = 4.5 Q
    1 ton = Q h/2670

    For Water:
    1 lb/h=500gpm
    1 ton = (gpm)∆t/24

    Pump HP = gpm x ft head x Sp Gravity


    3960 x Efficiency

    Small pumps 0.40–0.60 efficiency


    Large pumps 0.70–0.85 efficiency
