<DIV><SPAN class=645462016-01122009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We're trying to
obtain the minimum CoP for a Packaged Terminal Heat Pump in cooling mode for a
new construction using table 6.8.1D in ASHRAE 90.1-2004 (SI edition) and the
formula is proving to be somewhat confusing. In the SI edition it is described
as </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=645462016-01122009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>[3.60 - (0.213 x
Cap/1000)]</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=645462016-01122009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Is this the same
equation as listed in the imperial edition of 90.1-2004? If the max. unit
capacity of 4.4kW is converted to Btu/hr (approx 15024 Btu/hr, as per note c)
and input to the formula, the minimum CoP is only 0.4, which seems very low.
However, if I use the value in Watts in the equation, the minimum CoP comes out
as a much more reasonable 2.66. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=645462016-01122009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I can't seem to find
any addenda on ASHRAE's website or additional guidance on this matter and would
very much appreciate any guidance you can provide.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
