size=2 face=Arial>My understanding is that that is ARI fan power input
based on 365 watts per 1,000 cfm with the supply air flow rate fixed at 400 cfm
per 12,000 BTUH of net cooling capacity. (365 w./1000 cfm) * (400
cfm/12000 BTUH) = 0.012167 It is my understanding that this is only
applicable to Systems 1, 2, & 3, which are package units (PSZ), (PHP),
and (PVAV), with built in indoor fans. I don't believe that this is
applicable to all system types. If you have the correct fan input numbers,
for your particular system, then I would think that probably you would want
to input the correct numbers yourself rather than using the Wizard numbers, to
insure correctness. My experience has been that use of default numbers
will many times throw your model off. Of course, unless you don't
have actual numbers to input, and are just approximating your
inputs.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

SEER to EIR??<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Sorry to be beating a dead horse…<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>the attached document has been floating around the boards for
awhile in regards to how an entered EER value in the Wizard gets converted to
the Cooling-EIR value in the Detailed Edit mode, and after doing a few EER value
tests, I can confirm it works…<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’ve also found in various emails the conversions on the heat
pump heating side of COP and HSPF to Heating-EIR, and those work too after
testing various values in the Wizard…<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Heating EIR =
(1/(COP*3.413)-0.012167)/((1/3.413)-0.012167)<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Heating EIR =
(1/((HSPF*0.28+1.13)*3.413)-0.012167)/((1/3.413)-0.012167)<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>But I just can’t get the SEER to EER conversion from the
document (EER = SEER x 0.778 + 1.4) to work. I’m assuming that the
converted SEER to EER value then gets put into the working equation from that
PDF of Cooling-EIR = ((1/EER)-0.12167)/((1/3.413)+0.012167)).<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>As an example…if you put in a 13 SEER into the Wizard, a
0.2507 Cooling-EIR value is calculated in the Detailed Edit mode, but if you use
the SEER to EER (13 SEER would equal a 11.514 EER) and then the EER to EIR
equations, it says EIR should be 0.2447.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Any help/suggestions would be great…hopefully it’s just a
math error on my part.<o:p></o:p></P>
