  2. Sol-air temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol-air_temperature

    Sol-air temperature (T sol-air) is a variable used to calculate cooling load of a building and determine the total heat gain through exterior surfaces. It is an improvement over: It is an improvement over:

  3. Cooling load temperature difference calculation method

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_load_temperature...

    The first of the cooling load factors used in this method is the CLTD, or the Cooling Load Temperature Difference. This factor is used to represent the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor air with the inclusion of the heating effects of solar radiation. [1] [5] The second factor is the CLF, or the cooling load factor.

  4. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

    The coefficient of performance or COP (sometimes CP or CoP) of a heat pump, refrigerator or air conditioning system is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work (energy) required. [1] [2] Higher COPs equate to higher efficiency, lower energy (power) consumption and thus lower operating costs. The COP is used in thermodynamics.

  5. Pinch analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinch_analysis

    Temperature vs. heat load diagram of hot stream (H 2 O entering at 20 bar, 473.15 K, and 4 kg/s) and cold stream (R-11 entering at 18 bar, 303.15 K, and 5 kg/s) in a counter-flow heat exchanger. "Pinch" is the point of closest approach between the hot and cold streams in the T vs. H diagram.

  6. Cooling tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_tower

    A cooling tower is a device that rejects waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a coolant stream, usually a water stream, to a lower temperature. Cooling towers may either use the evaporation of water to remove heat and cool the working fluid to near the wet-bulb air temperature or, in the case of dry cooling towers, rely solely on ...

  7. NTU method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTU_Method

    The other fluid would change temperature more slowly along the heat exchanger length. The method, at this point, is concerned only with the fluid undergoing the maximum temperature change. The effectiveness of the heat exchanger ( ϵ {\displaystyle \epsilon } ) , is the ratio between the actual heat transfer rate and the maximum possible heat ...

  8. Cooling load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_load

    The cooling load [3] is calculated to select HVAC equipment that has the appropriate cooling capacity to remove heat from the zone. A zone is typically defined as an area with similar heat gains, similar temperature and humidity control requirements, or an enclosed space within a building with the purpose to monitor and control the zone's temperature and humidity with a single sensor e.g ...

  9. Logarithmic mean temperature difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_mean...

    In thermal engineering, the logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) is used to determine the temperature driving force for heat transfer in flow systems, most notably in heat exchangers. The LMTD is a logarithmic average of the temperature difference between the hot and cold feeds at each end of the double pipe exchanger.
