Chiller 220 W/m2
160 ft2/Ton
16m2/Ton
1.1 kw /ton
16/1.1 = 14.545 m2/kw
0.0687 kw/m2
68.7 W/m2
Air 8 W/m2
1000 cfm = 1 HP
@ 1 cfm / ft2
HP = 10.79 cfm/m2 / 1000 = 0.01079 hp * 746 w = 8W/m2
Say 90 W / m2

1000 cfm = 1 HP
@ 1 cfm / ft2
HP = 10.79 cfm/m2 / 1000 = 0.01079 hp * 746 w = 8W/m2
Say 60 W / m2
