Kitchen Equipment, heat gain
Kitchen Equipment, heat gain
(OP)
Does anyone have a good resource (ie. website or excel file etc) that contains latent & sensible heat gain values for kitchen equipment? Both hooded & non hooded...With a usage factor.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Im looking at table 5B. What is you suggestion on how to input this into my load calculation software.
My software just asks me for a latent & sensible input for additional equipment. Lets take the cheesemelter for example.
Cheesemelter:
Rated: 12,300 Btuh
Standby: 11,900 Btuh
Sensible Radiant: 4,600 Btuh
Usage Factor: .97
Radiation factor: 0.39
So if I have two boxes in my load calculation software (sensible,latent) what would you suggest punching in?
Sensible:________
Latent: _____
RE: Kitchen Equipment, heat gain
Latent = (mass of cheese (slugs) * aceleration)
(_______________________________) x
( gravity )
(cheese melt factor x usage factor / radiation factor)
which is usually negligable, so I tend not to calculate.

With NO hood it would be 11,900 * usage factor?
RE: Kitchen Equipment, heat gain
when we say unhooded equipment we have two cases:
1- the equipment itself is not directly under a hood but there is a hood in the same space
2- there is no hood at all in the same space
ASHRAE tables provide very good help but you have to read the ASHRAE book too not only tables.
