Required cooling discharge rate calculator

A tank must supply the needed cooling rate as well as total ton-hours; energy capacity alone is insufficient.

Units
Qout=CdeliveredtQ_{\text{out}} = \frac{C_{\text{delivered}}}{t}

Worked example

Given

  • CdeliveredC_{\text{delivered}} = 960 ton·h
  • tt = 6 h
Qout=9606=160Q_{\text{out}} = \frac{960}{6} = 160
