Chiller Evaporator Coil Sizing Chart
Properly sizing a chiller for your application can depend on a large number of variables. For over 40 years our team at COLD SHOT CHILLERS have successfully sized, quoted, and built machines for many applications.
No matter what your application, there is a single formula for determining the size of chiller you need. Before you begin, you must know three variables:.
The incoming water temperature. The chilled water temperature required. The flow rateFor our example, we will calculate what size chiller is required to cool 40 GPM (gallons per minute) from 70 °F to 58 °F? Use the following five steps and general sizing formula:1. Calculate Temperature Differential (ΔT°F)ΔT°F = Incoming Water Temperature (°F) - Required Chilled Water Temperature. Example: ΔT°F = 70°F - 58°F = 12°F2. Calculate BTU/hr.BTU/hr.
= Gallons per hr x 8.33 x ΔT°F. Example: 40 gpm x 60 x 8.33 x 12°F = 239,904 BTU/hr.3. Calculate tons of cooling capacityTons = BTU/hr. ÷ 12,000. Example: Ton capacity = 239,904 BTU/hr. ÷ 12,000 = 19.992 tons4. Oversize the chiller by 20%Ideal Size in Tons = Tons x 1.2.
Example: 19.992 x 1.2 = 23.99045. You have the ideal size for your needs. Example: a 23.9904 (or 25-Ton) chiller is requiredA 20 ton cooling-capacity chiller from Cold Shot Coolers Plastic Process Cooling ApplicationsThere also industry-specific, rules-of-thumb for chiller sizing. These may vary depending upon the application.
The below guidelines and formula may be used for sizing chillers for plastic process cooling applications. In our example, we will calculate what size chiller is needed for a polypropylene molding operation that incorporates a 6oz. 'Shot Size' and a 18 second cycle time with a 3 H.P. Hydraulic motor. We will use Charts 1 and 2 as references.1. Calculate the pounds of material per hour being processed. Example: 6 oz.
= 19.99 oz/min (20.00 oz./min). 20 oz. / min x 60 min. = 1200 oz/hr. 1200/16 = 75 lbs. Determine how many pounds per hour are required for each ton of cooling capacity using Chart 1.
Example: Polypropylene requires 1 ton of cooling capacity for every 35 lbs./hr processed. 75 lbs.
= 2.14 tons of cooling3. Determine if the extruder or any auxiliary equipment will require chilled water using Chart 2. If not, go to step #5.
Example: A hydraulic motor requires 0.1 ton/HP of cooling capacity. 3 HP x 0.1 ton/HP = 0.3 ton of capacity4. Combine the process and auxiliary equipment cooling requirements. Example: 2.14 tons + 0.3 ton = 2.44 tons5.
Size your chiller by rounding up to the closest standard unit. Example: This application will require a 3-ton unitChart 1: Plastic Material Process Cooling RequirementsInjection Molding30#/hr H.D. Polyethylene1 ton35#/hr L.D.
During a recent inspection of a 1980's home that had a new HVAC system installed, I noticed the new condenser was labled as 3.5 tons and the new evaporator was labled as 4 tons. Both were Lennox units and the condenser was configured as a heat pump. The system appear to be functoning fine. Do any of you see this often when the evaporator and condenser are not size-matched? I am not even sure this is a problem or not, that is why I am asking.PS, I know some might say this goes beyond the scope of a general inspection, etc, etc, however I am still curious about it.Similar Threads:. Hi Rob, Vern, and Bob. Thanks for the good input and it is consistent with what I guessed.

I do understand that on a heat pump system the term condenser and evaporator can be used for either unit, but I did not put that in the post because I figured everyone would know what I meant and I wanted to stay 'on-topic'. You know on this forum. At any moment. A topic can spin off into another whole discussion about heat pumps or some other topic.

But to clarify your questions, the 'indoor' unit was 4 ton and the outside unit was 3.5 ton. I decoded the model number to make that determination, to the best of my humble ability.Gene.
