    Help

    Does anyone have some insight to help me in the right direction? Ihave been racking my brain trying to find the mathematical relationship between Actual Horse Power, Theoretical Horse Power per ton, and Evaporator Capacity for a system. If anyone can help give me some clues to put me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

    a copy of the "Trane Air Conditioning Manual" read chapter six and do the problems at the end of the chapter. It will take some effort but you won't be sorry. ...bob
