The job I work at has some Semi-Truck trailers that can be deployed and used as temporary office/computer rooms in Disaster/Rental Situations.
What I am tasked with doing is finding out how much of our current A/C units is being used just to cool our trailers that way I can take the BTUh left to figure out how much equipment/people we can put inside.
I just picked our largest trailer to start with because it is the newest and we have the most information about it (we acquired these during a acquisition of another company and a lot of the paperwork was lost).
I've looked at our current equipment and on this trailer we have 3 each.. Carrier 40QKE048-3 & 38QR036C-5 which equates to over 9-Tons of cooling.
My problem is finding out how much cooling is used to keep our trailer cool once it is at a stable temperature ~70F. The outside temperature is going to be changing because these can be deployed anywhere in the country.
I was wondering if there is some formula that works by taking the room/trailer down to 70F and then shutting down the A/C units for a hour and measuring the temperature and some how get BTUh.
I'd be more then happy to get as much information as you might need to help me figure this out because I need to get this done by week end.
I do need any formulas used because this is going to be applied to 7 trailers each having different sizes and characteristics.
