  • To find KW necessary to raise the temperature of air:
    KW = (CFM x Temp Rise x 1.08) / 3413

  • To convert BTU's to KW:
    Total BTU's x 0.0002928

  • To convert KW to BTU's:
    Total KW x 3413

  • To find BTU load on a flow of water:
    GPM x H2O Temp difference x 500

  • To calculate airflow:
    CFM = Area(sqft) x Velocity(fpm)

  • Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER):
    EER = BTU / Watts

  • To find RPM of Belt Drive Compressor:
    Motor Speed x Motor Pulley Size / Compressor Flywheel Size
