Working my way through Manual J to gain a more thorough understanding of load calcs. I am confused though why the forms and worksheets (J1 and...
Not oversizing loops and using the smallest pump to get the job done makes sense. But why only count the head loss for one loop? And why use...
Thank you, I think I just figured it out. Looking at head loss the 1.25" x 600' is the way to go. If either design will give the btu's but one...
Sounds like they are both in the ballpark for a 5 ton system. But if I go with the 3 ton system then it will be either- 3 slinky loops with...
The results said Total Btu's cooling 25,587 Sensible load 24,094 Latent load 1,493 Total Btu's heating 36,595
I used an online calculator and it gives me 36,595 Btu's heating. I just ordered manual j, hoping I can get it dialed in more accurately. Mabey...
So if it is a 5 ton then, is one loop design 'better' than the other?
I need to get a second opinion on the heat loss. As in hire an engineer rather than take the advice of others. I think 3- 3.5 seems a little low...
From what I understand the ground here has good thermal conductivity. Also the heating load for the house is between 3- 3.5 tons. So I was...
We are in western washington. The ground here has good clay, round rocks and lots of ground water. The 1.25" design is in use nearby and did not...
Hello, We are planning a 5 ton water to water geo system and 2 different geothermal professionals have proposed 2 different loop configurations....
