Hello EdStainless,
Thank you on clarifying CP.
Is there a code reference to look up that states high purity gas lines need to be fully inspectable???
Yes, SS for the gas lines.
Good question! My guess is the low pressure Argon is in the range of 850psi or below. High pressure Argon is...
Hello LittleInch,
Thanks for your response!
To answer your questions:
Surface trench with grating, or trench box, so the client can visually inspect the length of the pipe.
No, the client does not have an agreed upon piping design code. Your question makes perfect sense, but this client...
Hello,
Got a project where the client is asking us advice about running several lines in a trench.
Advise them on what to do. The lines include 2" Nitrogen, 2" helium, 2" low pressure argon, 3/4" high pressure argon, and 4" fuel oil line.
Questions:
1) Can the process gas lines and the...
Hello,
I have an application for natural gas (NG) of Scenarios 1 & 2.
All 6" diameter Sch 40 Carbon Steel piping in the system.
Please see attached Maxon_Valves_Pressures.pdf for your clarity.
Scenario 1:
Have a 6" NG main line coming in from the gas company to a plant via a parallel set...
Hello Out There,
Context:
I'm sizing a natural gas(NG) line (high pressure) from an a tie-in to an existing 6"main gas line over to 4 new gas-fired generators. First time in sizing a high pressure piping section branch.
I'm using the high-pressure gas equation 4-2 from the IFGC. It's been...
Herr,
Internal Static Pressure drop of HX (CA2X) is approx .25 in. H2O @ 500 CFM according to Renewaire literature.
MERV 8 filters on inlet faces of the internal Lossnay core is .29 in wg according to filter literature.
Looking at ~0.55 across the HX. I'll direct the TAB to take actual PD...
To Everyone,
I have a design where I'm using 2 inline centrifugal fans (each fan is Cook: Model GN-740) in a pull-pull arrangement for crossing airstreams via a static plate heat exchanger (Renewaire: Model CA2X). EF-3 exhausts air from public restrooms and a janitor's closet via the CA2X out...
Hello,
I have (3) P-K condensing boilers (MACH Model C-300 w/ ENVI Control) for a small job. Each C-300 is rated as follows:
Output 276,000 BTU/hr heating capactiy at full-fire
Flow rate @ 20 delta T: 28 GPM
Flow rate @ 40 delta T: 14 GPM
Each C-300 has its own isolation valve associated with...
To Whom Can Help:
I've designed a new 13 inch dia SS exhaust duct route to connect to an existing exhaust duct (please see attached system diagram). The new exhaust duct serves (2) engravers. Each engraver requires 900 cfm each. So I have 1800 cfm total in the new 13 inch dia duct. I wanted to...
Hello,
I haven't been here in a while. I have an application where I'm currently exhausting 525 CFM @ .75 ESP from public restrooms and a janitor's closet through a energy recovery ventilator (ERV) with a static plate total heat exchanger (RenewAire). I'm bringing in 250 CFM @ .75 to 1.0 ESP of...
Hi willard3,
Thank you for your input.
Thanks goes out to MechEngNCPE and MintJulep as well.
The height difference between the pan and drain is 2 inches, 3 inches at the most.
I'm going to recommnend they install a condensate pump in the 1-1/2 common cond line and re-route it to the...
I've designed 2 horizontal fan coil units with cooling coils above a lay-in ceiling. I've routed 1 inch condensate lines from each FCU into a common 1-1/2 inch cond line. The common 1-1/2 cond line is then routed and connected to an existing 4 inch storm drain stack rain leader (SD). I've used a...
Hello,
Our company is pursuing certification under the 2009 LEED O&M umbrella. I need to write up policies (i.e., water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, indoor enviromental quality)that are required as part of the credit templates.
Does anyone know where I can find online sample policies...
Hello Everyone,
I have a design where we're installing (2) 200 HP steam boilers. The steam boilers are gas and oil fired.
We plan to route (2) 18" vent stacks(each boiler has 18" vent stack connection) into (1) 28" common vent straight up and out through the roof.
I'm looking at a UL rated...
