100 KVA UPS heat dissipation
100 KVA UPS heat dissipation
(OP)
I have a 100 KVA UPS (uniterrupted power supply) unit with a maximum heat dissipation rate of 20,490 btuh. I am looking of a realistic diversity factor to use in my heat load calculations.

The big hit as I remember is when they are brought on line - huge btu/hr. number - but they are not on line for very long - just enough time for the generator to fire up - 5 minutes tops before they poop (I have only experience in data centers). Along with a dedicated HVAC unit, its also prudent to put in a relief hood with motorized damper controlled by a thermostat to help with that first surge of heat dissipation.
