5. From RATINGS on pages 16 - 46:
SELECT: YCAL0040 (English Units)
36.1 Tons
38.6 Compressor kW
6. Determine YCAL0040 brine cooling capacity
and Compressor kW requirement:
A. Tons = 36.1 x .974 x .983 = 34.6
B. Compr. kW = 38.6 x .995 x 1.021 = 39.2
7. Determine average full load Compressor kW at
34 tons:
34 tons x (39.2 kW) = 38.5 Compressor kW
34.6 tons
8. Determine Ethylene Glycol GPM:
GPM =
Tons x Gal. °F/min/Ton factor
Range
GPM =
34.0 x 26.1

GPM = 88.7
9. Determine Cooler Pressure Drop:
A. See Ethylene Glycol correction factors for
30% by weight Ethylene Glycol.
READ: 1.096 Pressure Drop Factor
B. See page 14 at 88.7 GPM for the YCAL0040.

10. YCAL0040 is suitable.
3. From the Ratings on pages 16 - 46:
SELECT: YCAL0050 (English Units)
53.1 Tons
48.7 Compressor kW
11.7 Unit EER
4. Calculate Compressor kW at 50 Tons:
kW =
50
x 48.7kW = 45.9kW
53.1
5. Calculate GPM:
GPM =
50 Tons x 24
= 120 GPM
10°F Range
6. From Page 14, read 10 ft of water cooler pressure
drop for GPM:
7. A YCAL0050 is suitable.
