Dimensioning Climate Control Equipment

Cabinet manufacturers provide calculation programs for selecting climate control equipment.
It is always necessary to know the power loss of the components and equipment installed in
the cabinet.
The physical relationship is shown in the following example.
Figure 2-27
q = thermal power that has to be dissipated through a cooling unit [W / K]
Q = power loss [W]
∆T = temperature difference between the room and cabinet interior [K]
k = thermal resistance value, e.g. sheet-steel, painted 5.5 [W / (m
A = free-standing cabinet surface area [m

Assumption:
Free-standing cabinet surface area A = 5 m
Temperature difference between the room and cabinet interior ∆T = 10 K
q = (2415 [W] / 10 [Κ]) - 5.5 [W / (m
