INTERNAL HEAT GAIN

Appliances

Some appliances give off both sensible and latent heats; the latent heat being given off directly or as a result of their function such as cooking, drying, etc. Refer to the data provided by manufacturers of the appliances or in design tables, for arriving at the sensible heat contributed by the appliances. In bigger installations such as hotels, exhaust hoods with positive exhaust are provided which remove considerable amount of sensible heat and moisture. Also, all the appliances may not be functional at the same time. So the diversity factors have to be judiciously arrived at for such applications.
