Conversion Factors (constant)
Water
500 = 8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min, – (Converts GPM to lbs./hr.)
Air
4.5 = 60 min
13.35 Cu. Ft./lb. – (Converts CFM to lbs./hr.)
1.08 = 4.5 x 0.241 BTU/lb./ºF. – (lbs./hr. x Sp. Ht. of Air)
0.68 = 4.5 x 1054.3 BTU/lb.
7000 gr/lb. – (4.5 combined with heat
of vaporization of water
at 70ºF. and grains per
pound of water)
Water Heating, Cooling & Heat Reclaim Coils, Water Chillers,
Condensers, etc.
Q = 500 x GPM x T = BTU/hr.
T = Q
500 x GPM
For brines, Q = 500 x GPM x T x (Sp. Ht. x Sp. Gr. of Brine)
Air Coils
Q Sensible = 1.08 x CFM x T = BTU/hr.
Q Latent = 0.68 x CFM x SH = BTU/hr.
Q Total = 4.5 x CFM x H = BTU/hr.
lb./hr. Condensate = 4.5 x CFM x SH Grains
7000 grains/lb
SHR Sensible Heat Ratio = Q Sensible
Q Total
Heat Transmission
Q Total = U x A Surface x T = BTU/hr.
Product
Sensible Heat in BTU/hr. = lbs/hr. x Sp. Ht. x T
Latent Heat in BTU/hr. = lbs/hr. x Lt. Ht. in Btu/lb.
Heat of Resp. in BTU/hr . = lbs x Heat or Respiration
in BTU/lb./hr.
All conversion factors used in standard calculations must be
corrected for other than standard properties
Properties of Water at 39.2 ºF.
Density of Water = 62.4 lbs./Cu. Ft.
Specic Heat of Water = 1 BTU/lb./ºF.
Latent Heat of = 970 BTU/lb. at 212ºF. & Atm.
Vaporization = 1054.3 BTU/lb. at 70ºF.
Specic Heat of Ice = 0.5 BTU/lb./ºF.
Latent Heat of Fusion = 144 BTU/lb.
1 Gallon of Water = 8.33 lbs.
1 Pound of Water = 7000 Grains
Nomenclature
Q = Heat Flow in BTU/hr.
T = Temperature in ºF. ( T = temp. di.)
A = Area in Sq. Ft.
U = Coef. of Heat Transfer in BTU/hr./Sq.Ft./ºF.
H = Total heat of air at wet bulb temp. BTU/lb.
H = Enthalpy dierence between entering & leaving air
SH = Specic humidity in grains of moisture/lb. of dry air
( SH = Specic humidity dierence for entering
and leaving air)
CFM = Cu. Ft./min.
GPM = Gal/min.

W = Watts
I = Current (Amperes)
E = Electromotive Force (Volts)
R = Resistance (Ohms)
To obtain any values in the center circle, for Direct or Alternating
Current, perform the operation indicated in one segment of the
adjacent outer circle.
3 Phase Delta Loads
