1.)blast freezer
2.)cold storage room
3.)chiller rooms
4.)anterooms

and other room with other applications for more accurate design and heat load calculations.

Rule of thumb.

Go to the postion of where the new room is going.
Take 10 steps back.
Place thumb 25mm away from left eye. (close right eye)
If you can see the proposed room (area) passed your thumb, then take on step back. Make sure you count the steps back.
Repeat until you can no longer see the proposed room.
Have you counted your steps, yes?
Well for HT rooms 1hp per step
for LT rooms 1.5Hp per step.

Man, one term., I really hate with a passion is "rule of thumb ".
Every application requires a design for load, product , location, if you do not know the system. Start a career change.

ronaldjayson,

Forget that thumb rule ,do the calculation the old way,i mean the long hand computation.try to avoid using the manufacturer software as much possible.No shortcuts.
