Cooling load calculations for hotel rooms

AI Thread Summary
When calculating cooling loads for hotel rooms, the toilet should be included in the cooled area since it is at negative pressure relative to the room, allowing conditioned air to flow into it. It's essential to account for air losses due to the bathroom fan, as any air it exhausts must be replaced with conditioned air. The entire room's gains and losses must be considered for an accurate load calculation. The partition wall between the toilet and the room can typically be disregarded in this context, assuming both areas maintain the same temperature. Overall, the toilet area is integral to the cooling load assessment.

When performing cooling load calculations of an hotel room, do I consider the toilet as part of the area being cooled as it is at negative pressure with respect to the room and cooled air will flow from the room into the toilet. Or should I perform and the load of the room separately and add losses from the room through the partition wall.

The toilet area is part of the area being cooled, so you need to consider it. You will need to account for the air lost in the restroom. Any air the bathroom fan pulls out, comes in from somewhere, and it has to be conditioned/accounted for.

I'm not sure what you are asking here. To get a good load calculation, you will have to account for all the gains/losses for the whole room.

i meant losses to the toilet through the partition wall, If I am considering the cooled area to include the toilet , I would not consider the partition wall separating the toilet and the room because I am assuming the toilet and room are at the same temperature.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't either, unless the bathroom is a separate, unique source of heat/cold, or something unusual. In this case, the bathroom fan air needs to be accounted for, and the volume in the bathroom should be included.

The toilet and room are in the same envelope.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
