Solved Step by Step With Explanation- Cooling Water GPM Calculation

Questions

Let's break down the calculation step by step with explanation:

Given data:

We need to convert the given Refrigeration Effect (RE) from tons to kilowatts (kW). One ton of refrigeration is equal to approximately 3.5168525 kW.

RE = 60 tons × 3.5168525 kW/ton RE

Pcompressor = RE / COP Pcompressor

= 211.011 kW / 4.5 Pcompressor

QR = 211.011 kW + 46.891 kW QR

≈ 257.902 kW

• m is the flow rate in liters per second (L/s)

• Cp is the specific heat of water (4.187 kJ/kg°C)

≈ 5.132991 L/s

Now, we convert the flow rate from liters per second to gallons per minute (GPM):
