The most simple formula i a follows Hoat load in watts = $x (Te-T)) x K Were: 8 Square area in m2 Te = External Temperature Ti= Internal Temperature K= Thermal coefficient of the room to be conditioned (Te- T))= typicaly forthe Mediterranean uses 8-10 which is the difference you want to achieve between outside and inside temperature. For tropical climates the standard value is 15, The K value is determined by the solar gain, the quantty of people and the use ofthe room. Typically these values are as fllows- + Owners cabin and guest cabins: K= 20-22 + Saloon or dinette wth ited window and glass area (sang yacht or power" + Saloon or dinette wih large glass area (power boat -fy-oridge configuration): + Whelnouse (paver boat) with very large glass area: K=40 ‘As an example, lo air-condition a dinetlo in a “open” power boat: is area is (3m x2m) + W= 6m2 x30 (kK) x10 (Te -T)=1,8000 This number represents the amount of heat to be extracted by the air-conditioner in order to keep the inside temperature 10 °C below the outside tomperature expressed in watts, [As most of the marine ai-conditioning industry sll works In imperial units the BTUHr equivalent is ealculated as folows: + 1800Wx3,410 = 6,120 BTUH ES vs: EE | spay Poworod by Intergage
