SELECTION PROCEDURE
(WITH EXAMPLE)

 I. Define hot water load for the total

required domestic hot water

usage.

As an example, let’s assume that the

selected Tankless Water Heater for your

whole house solution is the RTG-74 and

your calculated heat gain and heat loss

values are as stated in section II.

II. Determine cooling and heating

requirements at design conditions:

The ACCA’s Manual J Residential Load

Calculation method is the established

trade standard, approved by AnSI, for

the correct siziing and selection of

Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning

and Refrigeration (HVACR) equipment in

residential homes. The most recent

revision is the eight edition, an all-

inclusive new approach to ensuring that

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) systems are as

efficient, safe, and healthy as possible.

Refer to the Air Conditioning Contractors

of America website at:

http://www.acca.org/tech/manualj/

or a

qualified HVACR contractor for further

assistance.

Assumptions:
Required Cooling Capacity . 48,000 BTU/HR

(Total Capacity)
Required Heating Capacity . 60,000 BTU/HR
Evaporator Air Quantity. . . . . . . . . 1600 CFM
External Static Pressure . . . . . . . 0.2 in. W.C.
Electrical Characteristics . . . . . . . . . 115-1-60

III. Determine total external static

pressure (ESP) at design

conditions:

Before using the Airflow Performance

Table calculate the total static pressure

required. From the given example, note

the Wet Coil Pressure Drop (selected

from the field supplied Evaporative

Cased Coil Installation Instructions), and

the Filter Pressure Drop. Determine both

static pressures at 1600 CFM:
Wet Coil Pressure Drop . . . .0.3 in. W.C.

(From Coil Manufacturer’s Installation Instructions)

External Static Pressure . . . 0.2 in. W.C.

(Ductwork, etc.)

Filter Pressure Drop . . .  .08 in. W.C.

(.08 inches if the included filter is used; refer to

the filter’s manufacturer’s instructions if another

filter is used.)

Total Static Pressure. . . 0.58 in. W.C.

IV. Select unit based on required

cooling capacity airflow:

For an initial selection, choose a unit

size that will provide the required

airflow. Refer to Airflow Performance

Table. note that at 0.6 ESP (external

static pressure) the

RW1T06A3617nAA unit will deliver

1560 CFM when configured for HIGH

speed.

V. Select heating capacity of unit

to provide the requisite design

condition:

From the Hydronic Air Handler/

Tankless Water Heater, note that the

unit RW1T06A3617nAA, (as selected

above) when matched with the RTG-

95 Tankless Water Heater, will

provide 59.2 MBH (59,200 BTU/HR)

at an input water temperature (to Air

Handler) of 150°F.
