Pdesignc / BL (Building Load)
Pdesignc = Design load for cooling [kW], equal to the declared
capacity for cooling Pdc(Tj) at Tj = Tdesignc outdoor temperature
After the determination of
Pdesignc, this point is also
determined and the slope
(building load) is determined.
Pdesingc = 46degC
Sample : Nominal capacity =10kW
