Industrial Ventilation Rates
Industrial Ventilation Rates
(OP)
I am designing the HVAC systems for an industrial pumphouse, and am trying to determine what to use as an OA ventilation rate.
The building is normally unoccupied, and there are no out of the ordinary sources of contaminants. The building houses a number of pumps - I need about 600 cfm of OA during the summer for heat dissipation. What I would like to do though is ensure that this 600 cfm is adequate to meet ASHRAE standards for air quality. Unfortunately I haven't found anything in Standard 62 or the Applications & Fundamentals books to provide a standard ventilation rate for this type of situation.
Is there a standard ventilation rate for industrial facilities that is not based on heat dissipation or contaminent dilution?

If I look in "ASHRAE Applications", under 'power plants' for example, all of the approximate ACH rates are given assuming heat dissipation.

Another building I am doing is an electrical house that has its cooling through DX air conditioning to handle the heat load. The building will still require some fresh air ventilation however... what should I use for a rate? The ASHRAE std 62 rate for a computer room?

MCC Room: If the room is unoccupied, use 100% return. No need for outside air.
