Calculate Cooling Capacity

Description

This function calculates the required cooling capacity based on power consumption, power factor, safety factor, and efficiency.

Cooling capacity is the amount of energy transferred during a cooling process.

Usage

calcCoolingCapacity(
  Power,
  power_factor = 0.85,
  safety_factor = 1.2,
  efficiency = 0.7
)

Arguments

Power	Power consumption in Watts (W).
power_factor	Power factor, default is 0.85.
safety_factor	Safety factor, default is 1.2 (20% extra capacity).
efficiency	Efficiency of the cooling system, default is 0.7 (70%).

Value

Required cooling capacity in kilowatts (kW).

Examples

calcCoolingCapacity(1000)

calcCoolingCapacity(1500, power_factor = 0.9, safety_factor = 1.3, efficiency = 0.8)
