"Romantic love is mental illness. But it�s a pleasurable one. It�s a drug. It distorts reality, and that�s the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw." - Fran Lebowitz

As far as I know every manufacturer creates and publishes "expanded" ratings. They may go by different names, and contain varying amounts of data, but they comprise all the different sensible and latent capacities at different air flows, different coil and condenser combinations, and different super heat settings (for TXV systems)

These data will be the best source of the answer for your question. I can tell you that a larger coil, with higher airflow, will get you more sensible and less latent, but I can't tell you how much for each different combination. Only the manufacturer can do that; by way of their published data.


Funny you should mention that. I just pick up the performance data from my distributor today. And it has everything in it that you have mentioned

Infwsdm:

I wish I could be so lucky with my local distributor!

BamaCracker:

Would you mind taking a peek at my explanation in the other thread? I would really hate to be someone that is passing on false information. Much Appreciated.

I glanced over it earlier thsi morning, but being specific to the manufacturer, it means little to me. I'll look at it again, but those part numbers mean nothing to me, and when AllTemp says you have to use "rated" coils for rebate, I know he is Tha Man when it comes to Goodman, but we rate three or four coil sizes with each of our condensers, for just such situations as yours.

I'll see if I can figure it out.
