we will be learning how to calculate the cooling load for a cold room. We start at the basics first to understand the purpose of a cold room and then move on to understand the heat sources that form the cooling load and then we finish the video by using a worked example for a simplified cooling load calculation

Does your factor of energy per cubic meter of air (2 kJ m3 / deg C) account for latent cooling as well as sensible cooling? The value of the heat capacity times temperature difference (sensible cooling) rarely accounts for the full effect of air infiltration. If you want to calculate based on both sensible and latent cooling, a psychrometric chart is the way to go.
When I say latent cooling, this is not to be confused with the freezing of the fruits, which I am aware is not present in this calculation. I am referring to the humidity difference between the air outside and the air inside. Basically the refrigeration system will have to condense large amounts of water that enter the unit as the door is opened, which costs energy.

Great video, nicely done: )
However, the fans' heat load calculation is not correct. You count the 200 W of total electricity consumption as heat. This is true for a heater: 200 W electricity will turn into 200 W heat. That's 100% efficiency, as heating is the purpose of a heater.
The electric motor in the fan has an efficiency of ca. 70-80%, so 30-20% of the electricity intake dissipates as heat. Therefore in the formula the 200 W needs to be multiplied by 0. 2-0. 3, so the 200 W fan will generate only ca. 40-60 W heat.

why we take into account the rated power of the equipment?
Like the power of the fan is the responsible for moving the fan by a specific torque
so, i see that the energy (from the power given by time) to move the fan cannot all be converted to a heat load (or heat generation) as the fan would not have the energy to move
I believe that there is some of heating in the process but with a ratio
please give me an answer as it is so confusing to me
I almost forgot, thank you for this great video

Brother can you please upload video of cooling load estimation on banana ripening chamber having capacity of 7. 5 mt of 3 chamber having 201210 feet chamber each temp is 17-20 deg celcius having water droplet (fog) humidifier 3kg/hr capacity. It is my mtech final year project currently im working on topic PRACTICAL INVESTIGATION AND STUDY OF BANANA RIPENING CHAMBER so it is very useful for me im waiting for ur response.

excellent explanation, based on this which of the AC system components contributes most to the thermal capacity of the system, in other words, say we need to upgrade a standard car SUV factory AC, to be able to handle blowing 42 degree F during extended exploration in extreme middle east desert heat in excess of 130 F, what do we upgrade in order of priority and, how do we measure the overall additional capacity?

Very helpful. One remark: for Internal load - people calculation, it should be 2 people x 4 hours x 270W / 1000.
not 270W/h which is a meaningless notion. You have either Watt(power) or Watt x h(energy.
Try dimension analysis on your equation: people x hours/day x w/hour = w/d. Which is again, meaningless.

In this example we assumed that 4000 kg of apple changes daily from a total of 20K so 16K still be there untouched. In such case this cold storage should work 24 hours per day but in the end you took 14 hours/day working. Is it just assumed or there is reason which i could not understand

At the time stamp 5: 48 your calculation for walls and roof are off. When you add up the walls and roof you get 118m sq not 113m sq. It is only a difference of. 97Wh/d when you figure the equation. Would that small of a difference make any issues arise down the line?

Hey Paul,
Could you do a video on residential load calcs and go more in depth on radiation heating. I'd love to learn more of the math and standards behind doing something similar to a manual J without dedicated software.
Thanks for your informative videos!

reply

how can I find the respiration heat of specific fruits, how are you using the values for respiration heat per day and heat of people and stuff, I mean like where are you taking these values from, just want to know that, thanks, very nice video indeed
reply

Thanks for the explanation of the previous question, but i got an other question about the calculation on the cooling load, is it not reasonable to also calculate cooling load of the air. I was thinking that also heat need to be extracted from the air.

Medium temperature refrigeration maintaining box temperature of 35 to 38F degrees have evaporator fan motors that run 24hrs per day when set point is satisfied and compressor is off to help defrost evaporator and for air circulation.
reply

great video, thanks! i have a question. the 20000 apples that are stored in the cold room requires a cooling load too in order to keep the apples cool. how can you calculate that?
reply

Sir can you show us how to calculate to get what compressor and evaporator cooler and its capacity to use after you get the kw/h cooling load. Thank you very much
reply

The best video that I've ever watched about cooling load calculation.
You did an amazing job, man! So clear and straightforward. Thank you so much for that

reply

It took me 5hours to learn everything you just explain. Very straight forward. And thank you for adding the calculation for the kW needed to power the unite
reply

will be watching all your videos on cooling loads great break down on the numbers and reasons why we need them to achieve the proper cooling required
reply

What am excellent explanation Bro
We weren't taught like this on our bachelor's
Hats off bro
Thank you very much for the video

reply

Great videos! Very helpful. I hope you could upload more videos specifically on cooling load estimation of a building. thanks
reply

I wonder how much time you would have spent on each of these. This definitely needs over lot of time and effort. Hats Off.

Being in Canada we are suppose to use metric system but use imperial because everything we do and use is from the states.

How about plate evaporator freezer for freezing a fish. Fish is in rectangular aluminum tray. is this formula can apply? ?
reply

Loved the video but I believe the area summation for transmission load is incorrect. It should be 118m2 instead of 113m2
reply

75kwh/ day seems insane. Are you sure it wasnt per month? 75 a day would mean a very hefty electricity bill. Please verify
reply

Sir, in Temp out - Temp in, how can we subtract if Temp out is 33celsius minus to -28celsius? Thank you very much
reply

dear- may i know how to calculate the load for cooling room with full fresh air --the room is 5x6x3 m --regards
reply

Really helpful video, how would one use the cooling load calculation to design the refrigeration system?
