Sensible Heat Ratio Calculator

Calculate SHR = Q_sensible/Q_total for HVAC coil selection. Typical: office SHR=0.75, server room SHR=1.0, gym SHR=0.65. Latent load from people, ventilation, infiltration. Coil apparatus dew point selection.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)

How It Works

Calculate SHR = Q_sensible/Q_total for HVAC coil selection. Typical: office SHR=0.75, server room SHR=1.0, gym SHR=0.65. Latent load from people, ventilation, infiltration. Coil apparatus dew point selection

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • People — The people recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Ventilation — The ventilation recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Infiltration — The infiltration recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the sensible heat ratio result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the people, ventilation, infiltration for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate SHR = Q_sensible/Q_total for HVAC coil selection. Typical: office SHR=0.75, server room SHR=1.0, gym SHR=0.65. Latent load from people, ventilation, infiltration. Coil apparatus dew point selection. Use the sensible heat ratio result to inform your clinical assessment.
