Sizing gas line
Sizing gas line
(OP)
Hi,
I am sizing a gas line to several (10) different-size units on rooftop. Some of the rooftops will be operating at a real-life maximum load LESS (say half) that of the standard supplied gas heating capacity.
In those cases, may I size the gas line for my anticipated design loads, rather than the rated manufacturure's maximum (which will never be reached at my % FA and design conditions?)
Thank you,
Caluna

If the RTU's are oversized, and you're trying to save a few nickles by dropping the pipe size... how about sizing the RTU smaller then?
