Chiller Tower = 2.4 GPM / ton 1 ChillerTon = 12,000 BTU / hr Chiller Ton = GPM x T / 24

LOAD SIZING FOR INJECTION MOLDING APPLICATIONS MATERIAL 30# / hr H.D. Polyethylene = 1 ton 35# / hr L.D. Polyethylene = 1 ton 35# / hr Polypropylene = 1 ton 45# / hr PVC = 1 ton 50# / hr ABS = 1 ton 50# / hr Polystyrene = 1 ton 40# / hr Nylon = 1 ton 35# / hr Acrylic = 1 ton 40# / hr Polyurethane = 1 ton 50# / hr Acetal = 1 ton 40# / hr PPO = 1 ton 40# / hr PET = 1 ton 50# / hr Polycarb = 1 ton MACHINE 3Hydraulics = .1 ton / HP Feed Throat = 1/2 ton each

LOAD SIZING FOR EXTRUSION APPLICATIONS : Pipe, Profile, and Sheet MATERIAL 50# / hr H.D. Polyethylene = 1 ton 50# / hr L.D. Polyethylene = 1 ton 50# / hr Polypropylene = 1 ton 75# / hr Polystyrene = 1 ton 70# / hr PVC = 1 ton MACHINE Extruder Barrel = .1 ton / inch Gear Box = 1 ton / 100 HP Feed Throat : diameter is < 3" = 1 ton Feed Throat : diameter is > 3" = 1 ton Air Ring Cooling @ 105 CFM = 1 ton (50F air @ 78F WBT)

LOAD SIZING FOR BLOW MOLDING APPLICATIONS MATERIAL 40# / hr Polyolefins = 1 ton Minimun Flow is 4.8 GPM / ton MACHINE Hydraulics = .1 ton / inch Feed Throat = 1/2 ton

LOAD SIZING FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT Air Compressors with no after cooler = .1 ton / HP Air Compressor with after cooler = .2 ton / HP Vacuum Pump = .1 ton / HP Machine Tools = .1 ton / HP Water-Cooled Chillers = 1 ton tower for 1 ton chiller Mold Temperature Controllers = 1.2 ton per zone (heating) Mold Temperature Controllers = use PPH chart (cooling) Barrel Cooling = Heat removal (BTU / hr) = 1 ton / inch screw diameter Spot Welders = 1/4 ton per tip (for chilled water) Plating Baths = Heat removal (BTU / hr) = DC amps x DC volts x 2.56 Mold Room Heating = 25 BTU / sq.ft. with 16' ceiling

 Non Mold Room Heating = 50 BTU / sq.ft. with 16' ceiling Mold Room Air Conditioning = 80 sq.ft / ton with 16' ceiling

LOAD SIZING FOR DIE CASTING Zinc = Heat removal (BTU / hr) = M x 35 BTU / lb M = throughput rate (lbs / hr) Pour at 800F Remove at 300F Aluminum = Heat removal (BTU / hr) = M x 35 BTU / lb M = throughput rate (lbs / hr) Pour at 1200F Remove at 900F

CHILLER CAPACITY LOSS For each 1F below 50F LWT = 2% of rated chiller capacity
