Number of unit heaters?
Number of unit heaters?
(OP)
Hi,
I have a warehouse-like room where I wanted to heat with unit heaters. The floor area is approximately 1200 sq.ft. and it's square shaped. The heat loss is about 120 MBH.
How many unit heaters would you use? A big one or several smaller ones?
Thanks.

Blow direction of the unit heaters should take advantage of the effect, ie, cw or ccw.

For North America, what should be the Coriolis effect direction? Should I position the unit heaters blowing cw, or ccw?
Thanks.

I'd take another look at the heat loss.
For that size of building, for warehouse storage I'd think 2 unit heaters on opposite corners would accomplish your goal.

I can only assume that you are having fun with the Coriolis effect comment. Very funny. The Coriolis effect will have no measurable effect on your building's interior circulation pattern.

Flush your toilet and see whether or not it works.
The effect works the same with air as it does with water.
CCW in Northern hemisphere, CW in Southern hemisphere.
Coriolis force per unit mass = 2 (omega)V sin(theta)
where:
* omega is the angular velocity of the Earth (360 degrees, or 2pi radians per 24 hours)
* V is the velocity of the object relative to the earth
* theta is the latitude in degrees
The Coriolis force is zero on an object moving over the equator (theta = 0).

It has NG and propane orifice tables, and a basic industrial ventilation table in it if you have no where else to start
Take the "V" out of HVAC and you are left with a HAC(k) job.
