8 Heat Load Tests These tests determined the heat load to the space from the Hobart PW10eR heat recovery hot water sanitizing dishwashing machine. The heat load to space is divided into two components: the convective heat that rises as hot air and steam from the machine and the radiation that is emitted by the hot surface of the machine by virtue of the temperature and emissivity. Convective heat can be further broken down into latent and sensible components to separate the dehumidification load on the space cooling system. For un-hooded appliances such as heat recovery dishwashing machines, both components load the kitchen space. The radiation is typically felt directly on the skin and through the clothing of the operator, whereas the convective heat usually circulates within the space and should be absorbed by the kitchen HVAC system. The calculations used to determine the amount of convective heat load from the dishwashing machine were derived by applying existing standards. These standards included ASTM F Standard Test Method for Performance of Single Rack, Door-Type Commercial Dishwashing Machines and ASTM F Standard Test Method for Heat Gain to Space Performance of Commercial Kitchen Ventilation/Appliance Systems. The test set up included the dishwashing machine operating under a canopy hood that exhausted outside the laboratory. The dry bulb temperatures, dew point temperatures, and airflow rates were measured for the exhaust and makeup air streams. From these measurements, the enthalpy and heat loads were calculated and averaged over each test period. The hood operated at a nominal exhaust rate of 1,700 cfm in order to ensure complete capture and containment of the thermal plume. Capture and containment of the effluent was visually verified using a Schlieren optical system. The lab was airtight for the heat gain tests and a makeup fan provided low velocity air (< 60 fpm) to the room through floor standing displacement diffusers. The makeup flow rate was balanced to maintain a pressure differential between the inside and the outside of the lab no greater than 0.01 inches of water throughout any heat gain test. The laboratory energy balance is shown below. The calculations that were applied to determine the results are shown in the subsequent equations. Page 8 of 17

10 The total heat load (convective and radiant) to the space measured from an un-hooded dishwashing machine is the appliance s measured energy rate (plug load) plus the energy in the supplied water to the unit minus the energy in the drain water. The convective load was calculated directly from the temperature and humidity rise of makeup air to exhaust air conditions and the exhaust flow rate. The convective load was split into sensible and latent components. Heat load tests were conducted during washing conditions. The dishwashing machine was stabilized by running five consecutive empty racks. The washing heat load test consisted of washing racks loaded with 3 full-size sheet pans sequentially. The dishwashing machine door was opened for 40 seconds after the 6 minute 20 second cycle time. The rack of sheet pans was replaced with a room temperature rack of sheet pans as soon as the cycle ended. The total test time for the Hobart PW10eR was 7 minutes. The dishwashing machine was recovered to 150 F before the beginning of each test cycle. The convective heat load measurements were separated into sensible and latent energy.
