Residential Heat Load - please help..
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I am currently running a heat load calculation on a residential apartment.
I am having the biggest trouble working out the heat that will come off the kitchen equipment. Can anyone please help me?
What Btu output to I allow for the following;
Range
Dishwasher
Coffee maker
Microwave
Refrigerator
I know that I need to get a book on this, but I am not sure what is the best to purchase. I have an old Ashrae book, but I feel that it doesn't cover things like the residential equipment I have listed above. I have a fair bit of commercial equipment listed in the book.
Any help would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Is this true?

If you can determine the total wattage used by these appliences then multiply by 3.14 to get total btu's
watts x 3.14 BTU=total heat

My problem is gaining any of that type of info. I was aware of the conversion factor, but am finding it very hard to get that sort of information (Watts or BTUH).
Am I looking in the wrong places?
Thanks,

So what do you suggest for load factors then? I was told 1,200 Btuh total for a kitchen. Is this correct?
