HEPA filters should not exceed 250 FPM.
Insalled in diffusers, we find that in laminar flow applications of Operating rooms in Hospitals.
HEPA filters can add up to 2.5" PD, your fan is likley not sized for this additional pressure drop. You could crack your duct system with that kind of...
try looking into the dolphin water treatment system if no one wants to deal with chemical treatment.
incidently, I have read case studies and all on the Dolphin water treatment system and it appears to sell good. Even ASHRAE green tips list it as an energy and water saving system.
Question...
In addition, they do not allow reheat for spaces such as conference rooms, excess air goes into the plenum,conference rooms cannot get min outdoor air with such a product, due to no possibility for full flow with reheat.
the fan system operates as a CV system. It does not throttle at all.
Good...
Forget about option 2. you are doing a series pumping system with that, no more, defeats the purpose of P/S ssytem in my view. Your primary pump will need to be sized for half the system head instead of just primary loop. Alos, you will have two incompatbile system, one with PD and VFD, the...
Thank you SAK9, you seem to handle your subject pretty well.
My question is: If the absorption chillers do not turn down well and the load is so big in this plant, why use a tank altogether?
If the load is this large, just sequenc eyour chiller plant to the one or two chiller sneedd to meet the...
Will second chasbean1 on this.
We have seen engineers sued by client over this issue.
RTU sized for a national guard training facility plus office space. But the guard is there only 2/3 days per month, the rest of the month, the thing is so oversized that it freezes the place in 10 minutes...
I've heard that a Mechanical engineer refused to work for Vince Lombardi playing football because he made more money as a Mechanical Engineer than as a football player.
Some movie director once said (early period of cinema): "who the hell wants to hear actors talk".
Those were the days I...
In order to compete in this tech age, a company must train continuously, as a result, a small overhead fee should be incorporated in every project (say 1% of total fee)
from an employee perspective, any time we have a new project with substantial fees, I go through our library (books and...
I would not use a gate valve on something that does not open/close at least once a year. Gate valves tend to get stuck (molecular wear) in the position they are left in. After say 2 years, you try to close an open valve, well, chances are, it wouldn't, it could pop on you.
gates are good for...
Often times, when a client hires an A/E firm, he wants to be advised on the best way to use his money and get expert opinion on the course of action to take, since he is plunging into unfamiliar territory.
We see a lot of engineers providing the owner with different ways to do things, and then...
Kenat,
I always enjoyed reading your UK perspective of things on this forum.
US statistics indicate the following (heck I read it somewhere):
1. Most companies have 15% of workers that could be fired out right and the result will be a better production at the company - That's 15% that do a lot...
80 hours to review a project. It must be a very large project for that kind of time.
I review projects on a moonlighting basis for a friend who has an engineering firm and a decent project (say a 70,000 SF school) would go around 40 to 50 hours. In those 50 hours, I'd have 250 comments at...
