Cooling Load
Analysis
Having a cooling load analysis done at your
facility is very important. It can provide information that
can help you;
|
-
Improve dependability
-
Plan future expansion
-
Trouble-shoot problems
|
Detailing each manufacturing piece of
equipment with the parameters of heat load, cooling
temperature required, cooling water flow, cooling water
pressure required and the location of the equipment in the
plant will help you plan an efficient, controlled
environment to maximize your cooling and your profits.
Although every manufacturing facility is
different, there are also similarities in some equipment
where principles of cooling analysis can be applied. For
example, most facilities require air compressors. If your
air compressor is water-cooled, an easy rule to determine
cooling load is 2 Tons (12,000 Btu/h) per 10 HP of air
compressors.
Some applications are air-cooled or have
water jackets. Some applications have constant load or a
batch load where the load varies with time.
Some applications require very cool water
while other can operate with warm cooling water. Some
applications have low flow and high temperature ranges,
while others demand a very high flow and small temperature
range.
Understanding your plant cooling needs will
provide a better understanding of your facility and how it
runs.
