Heat gain for various equipment

Heat gain for various equipment

Heat gain for various equipment

(OP)
Does anyone know what an average heat gain value would be for a Commercial washing machine or a Carbonation machine?

RE: Heat gain for various equipment

I think ASHRAE fundamentals has a list.
Manufacturers also may have data (they may only give peak for plug load, but for cooling load purposes you need the average more or less. Like a Motor starts up with 5 times the load, but after those 5 seconds it only has its design load)

Thank you HerrKaLeun! No luck with the Manufacturer I will try ASHRAE.

RE: Heat gain for various equipment

If I cant find info from the manufacturer I am designing around, then I usually look at a different manufacturer of a simlar model.

Thanks cdxx139! That is what I ended up doing and the final answer - not significant in this case. It was still a learning evolution!
