    The document provides instructions on calculating the refrigeration/air conditioning load of a cold storage facility using standard data sheets. It gives an example calculation for storing potatoes and provides a case study calculating the load to store 2000 metric tons of seed potatoes at 20°C with 92% relative humidity. The total calculated load for the case study cold storage was 270.64 kW or approximately 78 tons of refrigeration. Key factors considered in the load calculation include heat transfer through walls and ceilings, infiltration heat transfer, occupancy heat, lighting load, product heat from respiration, and heat to maintain the desired storage temperature.

    Mass of potatoes = 6 Tonne = 6 * 1000 = 6000 kg 
    Specific heat of Potato = 3.2 kJ/kg

    (Note: Neglecting the door size in compare to wall size and infiltration due to door opening during 
    operation)                      
    From Psychrometric Chart:

    External loads: 

    (a) Heat transfer rate through the walls:   

    Total wall area is = 2 *H * (L + B) 
                                   = 2 * 15 * (38 + 28)

                       Qwall = Uwall* Awall* TETDwall 
                                  = 0.176*1980 *35 
                                  = 12197 W (sensible) 
                                  = 12.20 kW

            Wall infiltration = Air change per hour  
                             = 2660 m3/hr 
                             =   m3/min 
                              = 44.33 m3/min 
    (i)Sensible heat transfer rate due to infiltration: 
     
    Sensible heat:  Qs  = 0.02043 * 44.33 * (to‐ tr) 
    = 0.02043 * 44.33 * (33‐2) 
    = 28.08 kW 
    (ii) Latent heat transfer rate due to infiltration: 
     
    Latent heat:  Q L  = 0.0491 * Q * (Wo‐ Wr)

                                           = 1750W (sensible) 
                                           = 1.75 kW 
     
    (e) Lighting Load: Heat given up by the source of light is lightning load.  
     
                                 Qlight = 10 * (L * B) 
                                          = 10*(38*28)

                                          = 10.64kW 
     
    (f)  Product  Heat:  It  is  the  amount  of  heat  to  be  extracted  from  the  product  to  maintain  the 
    product at desired temperature. Product heat is calculated by using formula  
    One day input load = 2000000/25 = 80000 kg

    ∗ . ∗
                                     =   
    ∗
                                           = 118.83 kW 
    (g) Respiration Heat: It is the heat generated by the product during the respiration and given by 
    formula  
     
                                     Qr = m * R 
                                          = 2000000 * 1.97 * 10‐5 
                                                             
    = 39.40 kW 
    So, total load on cold storage is  
                Qtotal = 12.20 + 8.81 + 28.08 + 50.93 + 1.75 + 10.64 + 118.83 + 39.40   
                          = 270.64 kW  
                          = 270.64/3.5 TR 
                          = 77.32TR        
                          = 78 TR
