How much Tonage I need

[qest233]

I have a 22x16x13 high room with 4in. insulated panels, how do I figure out , how big of a system do I need to put in , in order to maintain 28F or -2C in the room ????

Ask a refrigeration specialist to give you a quote for it.

meters,inches ,yards ,feet furlongs,heat gain,product in temperature give us a clue,the chrystal ball broke lol

Room size is in feet, product in at 34F, heat gain? whatever evaporator fans generate.

The ones I know are nothing but a bunch of crooks, I need to do my homework before I start getting quotes.

The ones I know are nothing but a bunch of crooks, I need to do my homework before I start getting quotes.Then learn about product load, air infiltration, heat gain thru walls, floor, roof, ambient temperature, heat of respiration, pull down time, etc.. which is relevant for calculation.

You need to know first your design conditions and calculations of heat loads (wall/ceiling/floor loads, air change load, miscelanneous loads like motors,lights,etc. and the most important the Product load.) As an estimate you can add all these loads and I suggest you use the BTU/hr unit and multiply a safety load factor of 1.15.

come on chaps! give the man a rest! he's looking for help.

let me makle a guess 7.5kW....ishhhhhh

or somewhere in the region off.

Qest233,

O.K., you want to know the tonnage required in order to keep your contractor honest?

If I may offer some advice, focus your efforts on finding a reputable contractor and let them focus on the requirements of your walk-in.

It sounds like you've had problems with all the "crooks" you have dealt with in the past.

Negotiate a contract, back off and let them do the work, (without you looking over their shoulder),
inspect job upon completion, pay the man.

" I am not a crook!"

Come on chap, what if pull down time is 2 hours?
Is it then still be in region of 7,5kW....ishhhhh?:eek:
Sorry if I sound rude but, I think that such prediction like your is just that what makes him to beleive that there are to many crooks in this business area.

Hi Dug! From what I read in your book, it seems that your book doesn't deal with cold room design.;)

[ref717]

I believe you nike123, their references are basically for Airconditioning systems only. Refrigeration cold room design is a different scenario.
