Formulas & Conversions

1 gallon water = 8.346 lb (@68ºF) 1 sq. ft. EDR = 240 Btu
QS = m x c x ∆t QL = m x hf
1 pound = 7000 grains 1 ton refrigeration = 12,000 Btu/hr.
1 boiler HP = 33,479 Btu/hr. 1 ton refrigeration = 3.515 kW

Pressure

Electrical

1 atmosphere = 14.696 psi 1 watt = 3.412 Btu/hr
1 lb. = 27.72 in. w.c. 1 Btu/hr. = 0.2931 watt
1 oz. = 1.73 in. w.c. 1 horsepower = 2545 Btu/hr.
psia = in. Hg/2.036 1 horsepower = 746 watts
in. Hg = psia x 2.036 Voltage = Amperage x Resistance
mm Hg = psia x 51.715 Watts = (Amperage)2 x Resistance
in Hg. vacuum = 29.921 - in. Hg Watts = Voltage x Amperage
microns = 51,715 x psia COP = EER x 0.293
1 ft (head) = 0.433 psi EER = Output(BTU)/Input(WATTS)

Nominal Airflow

Cooling  =  400 CFM per ton

Heating  =  12 CFM per 1000 BTU input

CFMnew = CFMold x (RPMnew/RPMold)

RPM = (120 x Hz)/ Number of poles
BTUh (sensible) = CFM x 1.08 x Temperature Rise
BTUh (latent) = 0.68 x Q x ∆g
Water quantity (gpm) required for heating and cooling = q/500∆twater
