Heat Generation
Heat Generation
(OP)
Hi,
I am looking to determine the size of my air-conditioning unit and I am missing two pieces of information. Can someone provide me with the heat generation (Btu/hr or kW) for a typical computer as well as a computer screen?
I have my HVAC textbook at home so I do not have access to the information.
Thank you in advance.

Penn State actual data on relatively current computer models.

RE: Heat Generation
I think all the other information is harder to get (infiltration, ventilation, perimeter walls and roofs, solar gain through glazing, humans).
If nothing else, an office PC with LCD screen should not be more than 100W. Obvioulsy you can have dual grafics card and play videogames and 400 W are possible, obviously I want to work in that office
RE: Heat Generation
Average Heat Gain from Computer Eq:
Computers ( Continuous / Energy Saver Mode)
Avg (55w/20w)
Conservative (65w/25w)
Highly Conser (75w/30w)
Monitors (Continuous Only)
13-15in - 55W
16-18in - 70W
19-20in - 80W
Hope that helps.

If you have proper CAD work stations I'd say 100W for the PC.
