Conversion Factors
•
Refrigeration
— 1 watt = 0.86 kcal/hour
— 1 watt = 3.412 Btu/hour
— 1 watt = 2.843 × 10-4 tons
— 1 ton = 200 Btu/minute
— 1 ton = 12,000 Btu/hour
— 1 ton = 3,517.2 watts
•
Metric Equivalents
— 1 centimeter = 0.3937 inch
— 1 meter = 3.28 foot
— 1 meter = 1.09 yards
— 1 in. = 2.54 centimeters

•
kVA conversions
Three phase
kVA = V × A × √3 / 1000
•
Single phase
kVA = V × A / 1000
Formulas
•
kVA = voltage × current (amps)
•
Watts = VA × PF
•
Btu = Watts × 3.41
•
ºC = (32 + 1.8a) ºF
Example of an Installation Schedule
The following schedule lists the sequence of events for a typical system installation:
•
Sixty days before installation
— Floor plan design is completed and mailed to HP (if required to be an HP task).
•
Thirty days before installation
— Primary power and air-conditioning installation are completed.
— Telephone and data cables are installed.
— Fire protection equipment is installed.
— Major facility changes are completed.
— Special delivery requirements are defined.
— Site inspection checklist is completed. See
customer information forms and site inspection checklists.
— Delivery survey is completed. See
a sample delivery survey.
