I wish I could explain this better. In this KEEP- RITE or TRENTON refrigeration sizing software that is free to the working stiffs, it automatically fills in two categories once u select your type of product. It gives an "above" and a "below spc. Ht" value. Below those two boxes is a "LOAD FACTOR". The default is #1. The only advice or tip offered is "If this is a blast cooler or freezer, please locate the correct value fom ASHRAE fundamental Handbook". If you change 1 to 2 it dbl's the total btu load and 2 to 3 and so on. As u Stated earlier, I can see if you oversize the eqpmt, It wiil pull the temp down quicker than it can suck th moisture. Its Tuesday now and I'll try giving the software folks a call. I just figured it was a common # to be had since they were directing me to the specific book. Thanks again.
