A cold room of \( 220 \) m\(^2\) surface area has a \( U \) value of \( 0.28 \) W/m\(^2\) K across a \( 22 \) degree difference. The transmission load is

  • A.13.6 kW
  • B.0.14 kW
  • C.6.16 kW
  • D.1.36 kW

Answer: D

Correct answer: 1.36 kW

The transmission load is the overall heat transfer coefficient times the area times the temperature difference:

\[ Q = UA\Delta T = 0.28 \times 220 \times 22 = 1355\ \mathrm{W} = 1.36\ \mathrm{kW} \]

The distractor \( 13.6 \) misplaces the decimal. A \( U \) value of \( 0.28 \) implies substantial insulation, and the resulting load is modest next to the respiration load calculated for a similar store - which is a useful reminder that in a produce store the contents, not the fabric, often dominate.
