From Cooling Performance Data, Condensing Unit RAWL-120 with Air Handler RHGL-120
Total Cap. (gross) = 121.8 x 1000 = 121,800 BTUH [35.69 kW]
Sens. Cap. (gross) = 91.3 x 1000 = 91,300 BTUH [26.76 kW]
Power (gross) = 9.1 x 1000 = 9,100 WATTS

Example 1 being the same.
From Cooling Performance Data, Condensing Unit RAWL-120 with Air Handler RHGL-120
Sens. Cap (net) = 86,336 BTUH [25.30 kW] (from Example 1)
Adjust Capacity for temperature other than 80°F [26.7°C] entering air:
adjustment: [1.10 x 3,800 x (1-.16) x (75-80]) = – 17,556 BTUH [5.14 kW]
Therefore, Sensible Capacity (net) at 75°F [23.9°C] entering air is:
86,336 – 17,556 = 68,780 BTUH [20.15 kW] (Sensible)

Do not use oxygen to purge lines or pressure system for
