Design code of positive pressure on a enslosed building
Design code of positive pressure on a enslosed building
(OP)
Dear All,
I am looking for a design code or reference standard relating to maintaining positive pressure on an enclosed building.
We are designing a plant which is enclosed becuase we handle powders and have a filter press. We are planning on maintaining positive pressure but we are not clear on what guidelines we should apply to set PRESSURE.
Is there an API standard, best pratice we could refer to..
The flash points of chemicals in the building are 70-80 C.

I would try air conditioning or clean rooms forums, if you have some approach to Intel engineers they may help.

One good reference is "Industrial Ventilation" by the Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygenists. Also ASHRAE's HVAC Application Manual.
