CALCULATIONOFCOOLINGLOAD
Whiledeterminingtheoutsidetemperatureforcalculationofcoolingload,theaveragetemperatureofthehottestmonthintheyearistakenintoaccount.
Inordertocalculatetheheatloadincoldstorage,theheatamountoftheproducedheatbyallsourcesshouldbedeterminedandsummed.
Theloadoftheheatconsistsofthetransmissionheat(q.),infiltrationheat(~),productsheat(q.),otherheatsources(q4)andunknownandunexpectedheat(q5)forthecalculationofthecoolingload(Ozkol,1999).Calculationswererealizedaccordingtotheabovegivenexplanations.
Transmissionheat(ql):
Thecalculationofthetransmissionheatcreatedbywalls,floorandceilingrequiresinformationonthicknessandtypeofisolationmaterialusedinconstructionofcoldroom,constructionofbuilding,physicalspecificationsofthecoldstoragevolume,insideandoutsideenvironmenttemperaturesandtheeffectofsunshine.Followingequationswereusedtocalculatetransmissionheat(Taner,2005;Anonymous,1996b,2001).

Thecalculationof
