SRC REFRIGERATION 04. it* <br /> Panel Strength Analysis <br /> Goal of the Analysis: Determine weight and load capacity for SRC's Premium Panel Construction©using <br /> Finite Element Analysis techniques. <br /> SRC manufactures panels without wood framing to keep the overall insulating value high. Wood is poor <br /> insulation, heavy and not required for strength. <br /> 1 Z force at 2224.1 N=600 lbf.total load <br /> f in two 1 ft dia.patches <br /> 1 Z force at 2668.9 N each=600 lbf.total load <br /> in four 2"diem.patches This is the model <br /> setup for FCA <br /> PullyFixed a" ; �� analysis, the sank <br /> -.41144446 method used to <br /> analyze complex <br /> 1 structures <br /> x,Z Fixed <br /> This model shows a 600 <br /> lb evaporator coil hung <br /> by four bolts along with <br /> 500 Ib of extra weight on <br /> top of the 4'x8' panel. <br /> The stress levels are <br /> colored (red =higher) <br /> i <br /> A Design of Experiments was <br /> conducted varying the weight of the <br /> evaporator and the extra weight on top <br /> of the panel. The result is that you can <br /> put over 2,200 lb of combined <br /> weights on this panel before the panel <br /> begins to fail. <br /> woo <br /> ,,,,.✓6000 <br /> 49.10 <br /> .✓YyMOO AC Wel,.VO <br /> lY`! <br /> 2°99 <br /> Conclusion of thestudy: Premium Panel Construction has excellent strength characteristics for walk in <br /> cooler applications. The strength to weight ratio is very high and the panel loads are well within safety <br /> factors for walk in cooler applications. <br /> ©SRC Refrigeration 12/17/2010 �� <br />
