Calculate the frigories

Welcome once again to the Pujol Clima Sabadell blog, a company specializing in air conditioning with extensive experience in the sector. Thanks to this, we understand the needs of each of our customers and gain a deeper understanding of their tastes and interests.

For this reason, at Pujol Clima Sabadell, we've realized that one of our customers' biggest concerns when purchasing air conditioning in the city of Sabadell is how to calculate the cooling capacity they need for their home or office.

Most of you think that the necessary cooling capacity depends on the dimensions of your house in Sabadell, but this is not entirely true. For example, in a very small room, you may not need the smallest air conditioner on the market. Perhaps it has a large glass window and is very sunny during the day, so a small air conditioner won't be enough.

Therefore, we could say that the cooling we need for our house in Sabadell, apart from the size of the house, will depend on the amount of heat the room receives, whether because there are many windows and the sun is very strong, because there are leaks, or because there are other internal elements that produce heat, such as electronic devices and people.

 

There are various tables used to calculate the required cooling capacity when installing an air conditioner, but if you're not an expert in the field, it can be quite a complicated task. Therefore, in these cases, it's advisable to hire a professional, such as those at Pujol Clima Sabadell.

Although there are other ways to calculate the necessary frigories for your house in Sabadell, which although not as precise, we can get an approximate idea, which is to multiply the length, width and height of the room in meters, and the result will have to be multiplied by a standard coefficient of 50.

LENGTH X WIDTH X HEIGHT X 50 = Frigories/hr

But with this calculation, we don't take into account the other factors we mentioned above. For this, we'll have to keep in mind that each person needs approximately 150 frigories, and for household appliances, we consider that each watt is equivalent to the use of 0.86 frigories. Therefore, the final calculation to calculate the frigories needed for your home in Sabadell would be:

(Length x Width x Height x 50) + (People x 150) + (Watts x 0.86) = Frigories/hr
