Sensible Heat Ratio Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter the value of the sensible heat (Qs) in watts (W) in the first input field.
2. Enter the value of the total heat (Qt) in watts (W) in the second input field.
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the Sensible Heat Ratio (SHR).
4. The result will be displayed in the third input field.

Understanding the Sensible Heat Ratio (SHR)

The Sensible Heat Ratio (SHR) is a dimensionless number that represents the ratio of sensible heat to total heat in an HVAC system. It is used to determine the proportion of heat that is used to change the temperature of the air, as opposed to the heat used to change the moisture content of the air.

The formula for calculating the SHR is:

SHR = Qs / Qt

Where:

• SHR = Sensible Heat Ratio
• Qs = Sensible Heat (W)
• Qt = Total Heat (W)

An SHR of 1.0 indicates that all the heat is sensible heat, while an SHR of 0 indicates that all the heat is latent heat.
