Sensible heat factor (SHF)

The term sensible heat factor is the ratio of sensible to total heat, where total heat is
the sum of sensible and latent heat. This ratio may be expressed as:

Room sensible heat factor (RSHF):

The room sensible heat factor is the ratio of room sensible heat to the summation of
room sensible heat and room latent heat. This ratio is expressed in the following
formula:

The supply air to a conditioned space must have the capacity to offset
simultaneously both the room sensible and room latent heat loads. The room and
the supply air conditions to the space may be plotted on the standard psychometric
chart and these points connected with a straight line in Fig. This line represents the
psychometric process of the supply air within the conditioned space and is called the
room sensible heat factor line.
Grand sensible heat factor (GSHF):
The grand sensible heat factor is the ratio of total sensible heat to the grand total
heat load that the conditioning plant must handle, including the outdoor heat loads.
This ratio is determined from the following equation
Air passing through the conditioning plant increases or decreases in temperature
and/or moisture content. The amount of rise or fall is determined by the total
sensible and latent heat loads that the conditioning plant must handle. The condition
of the air entering the plant and the condition of the air leaving the plant may be
plotted on the psychometric chart and connected by a straight line inFig. This line
represents the psychometric process of the air as it passes through the conditioning
plant, and is referred to as the grand sensible heat factor line.
Effective sensible heat factor (ESHF):
To relate bypass factor and apparatus dew point to the load calculation, the effective
sensible heat factor term was developed. ESHF is interwoven with BF and ADP, and
thus greatly simplifies the calculation of air quantity and plant selection. The
effective sensible heat factor is the ratio of effective room sensible heat to the sum
of the effective room sensible and latent heats. Effective room sensible heat is
composed of room sensible heat (see RSHF) plus that portion of the outdoor air
sensible load which is considered as being bypassed,

The bypassed outdoor air loads that are included in the calculation of ESHF are, in
effect, loads imposed on the conditioned space in exactly the same manner as the
infiltration load. By having added the bypassed sensible and latent heat loads of the
outdoor air to the room loads, the non-bypassed air now leaves a 100% efficient
plant.
