Hi all
Been asked to quote for the installation of air conditioning into a switch room. The customer has given me the meter readings for power consumption in Kw/h. I think from looking at it that the readings are in watts/hr I have worked out the daily consumption at 6500Kw/h which seems very high. Can anyone please advise as to how to get from the power consumption to the cooling duty required. Is power consumption in Kw = to heat output is it roughly that simple. Usually we get the customer to specify the heat loading for things like switch and server rooms but this time they have asked us to calculate it Not our usual scope of works but hopefully someone can help.
