Abbreviations and Definitions
cfm = airflow, cubic feet/minute
EWT = entering water temperature, Fahrenheit
gpm = water flow in gallons/minute
WPD = water pressure drop, psi and feet of water
EAT = entering air temperature, Fahrenheit (dry bulb/wet bulb)
HC = air heating capacity, MBtu/h
TC = total cooling capacity, MBtu/h
SC = sensible cooling capacity, MBtu/h
kW = total power unit input, kilowatts
HR = total heat of rejection, MBtu/h
HE = total heat of extraction, MBtu/h
HWC = hot water generator capacity, MBtu/h
EER = Energy Efficient Ratio
= Btu output/Watt input
COP = Coefficient of Performance
= Btu output/Btu input
LWT = leaving water temperature, °F
LAT = leaving air temperature, °F
TH = total heating capacity, MBtu/h
LC = latent cooling capacity, MBtu/h
S/T = sensible to total cooling ratio
Notes to Performance Data Tables
The following notes apply to all performance data tables:
• Performance ratings are based on 80°F DB/67°F WB EAT for cooling and 70°F DB EAT for heating.
• Three flow rates are shown for each unit. The lowest flow rate shown is used for geothermal open loop/well water systems with a minimum
of 50°F EWT. The middle flow rate shown is the minimum geothermal closed loop flow rate. The highest flow rate shown is optimum for
geothermal closed loop systems and the suggested flow rate for boiler/tower applications.
• The hot water generator numbers are based on a flow rate of 0.4 gpm/ton of rated capacity with an EWT of 90°F.
• Entering water temperatures below 40°F assumes 15% antifreeze solution.
• For non-standard EAT conditions, apply the appropriate Correction Factor tables.
• Interpolation between EWT, gpm, and cfm data is permissible, extrapolation is not.
