Cooling Installation Project and Cooling Load Calculation

We prepare projects, flow-pressure calculations and equipment coordination for chillers, heat pumps, cooling water circuits and terminal systems. We evaluate the cooling needs of commercial buildings and industrial spaces according to the usage scenario.

Account and System Design

Technical approach for the Cooling Installation Project

Cooling capacity is not determined solely by space. Outdoor environment, solar gain, fresh air, users, process equipment and concurrency are the inputs of the design calculation.

01 / COOLING

Sensible and latent charges

Design cooling capacity is determined by evaluating heat gains in the space, fresh air effect and moisture load.

02 / COOLING

Chiller and heat pump

Temperature regime, partial load, device operating conditions and required redundancy are considered together.

03 / COOLING

cold water hydronics

Flow rate, pipe diameter, critical line pressure loss, pump selection and hydraulic balancing calculations are created.

04 / COOLING

Control and condensation

Condensate drainage, cold surface insulation, valve control and appliance service access are designed.

Engineering Process

Four stages from discovery to implementation project

After the project data and existing system conditions are determined, calculations, layout, equipment and field coordination are brought together in the same technical document.

01

Design conditions

Space usage profile, process load and outdoor weather conditions are determined.

02

cooling load

Simultaneity is evaluated with the sensible and latent loads of the locations.

03

System layout

Cooling source, pipe circuit, terminal and drainage route are planned.

04

Calculation and specification

Device/line selections, drawings, technical descriptions and field coordination are prepared.

Before Starting the Project

Information required for preliminary evaluation

Depending on the type of project, the following data may be shared:

  • Architectural project, facade and insulation information
  • Usage hours of the spaces and number of people
  • Device, lighting and process heat gains
  • Indoor temperature-humidity design targets
  • Chiller, heat pump and fan-coil placement restrictions
Field and Operation

Things to consider in design

Cooling load and chiller rated capacity may not represent the same design condition. When choosing a device, manufacturer performance data, water temperature and outdoor conditions should be compared.

The regulations to be applied to the project, relevant TS/TS EN standards, equipment manufacturer requirements and employer technical specifications are evaluated together. Design assumptions are verified against the actual conditions of the facility.

Frequently Asked Technical Question

Are chiller and pump capacity selected in the same way?

No. The chiller thermal capacity is selected from the load calculation, and the pump is selected from the circuit flow rate and total pressure loss.

Detailed Technical Coverage

Detailed Technical Coverage on Cooling Systems

The cooling load, chiller/heat pump, cold water distribution, terminal and condensation control must be designed in harmony with each other.

01 / SUBSYSTEM

Sensible and latent heat gains

Space orientation, solar load, person/lighting/equipment loads, outdoor air and humidity conditions are calculated. The largest load on the design day and the concurrent system demand are separated.

02 / SUBSYSTEM

Chiller and cooling center

Air or water-cooled chiller, cooling tower and heat pump alternatives are evaluated by outdoor air operating condition, EER/COP, part load, water temperature and maintenance access.

03 / SUBSYSTEM

Cooling water and condenser circuit

If a cooling tower is used, condenser flow rate, inlet-outlet temperatures, water treatment, open circuit balancing and pump NPSH conditions are handled as separate systems.

04 / SUBSYSTEM

Cold water distribution network

Diameters of main and secondary lines, critical pressure losses, primary/secondary pumps, valve and balance groups, variable flow control are selected by calculation.

05 / SUBSYSTEM

Fan-coil, air handling unit and serpentine

Terminal heat loads, coolant temperature, battery capacity, air flow rate, drainage and maintenance areas are coordinated together.

06 / SUBSYSTEM

Cold pipe insulation and drainage

Insulation thickness, vapor diffusion resistance and continuity are evaluated to prevent condensation on pipes, valves, flanges and supports. Condensate drain is planned with appropriate slope and siphoning conditions.

07 / SUBSYSTEM

Control, testing and operation

Cooling load scenario, low temperature protection, pump and chiller sequencing, thermostats, variable flow, part load operation and commissioning measurements are reported.

Equipment list

Chiller, cooling tower, water pump, heat exchanger, fan-coil/air handling unit, two/three-way control valve set, sensor, steam trap/drainage and insulation.

Design deliverables

Cooling load report, circuit flow-pressure calculation, device performance table, piping diagram, automation scenario and field acceptance criteria.
