Steel making plant air conditioning, design guides

(OP)
I will design a steel making plant air conditioning system and I need some advices about: the kind of equipment, fresh air, filters, ventilation, etc. Or where I can find information about this issue

Gracias

RE: Steel making plant air conditioning, design guides

You cannot avoid ASHRAE Systems and Applications Handbook, and if I were you I would begin contact with still mill technologists as soon as possible, they will give you input about required conditions, something about heat dissipation values etc.

Thanks, I have this values already, my concern is about the fresh air and the filtering issue, but i got some info

My other concern is about the suppliers, Do I need to know an unkown company (I'm at South of the border, mostly Trane, Carrier and York and that's it)

About ASHRAE, I couldn't find specifical information

Anyway, thanks and regards


 

RE: Steel making plant air conditioning, design guides

I have no experience in designing HVAC for steel plants but have designed systems for coal power plants.A few things to consider:

Control rooms HVAC needs positive pressurisation of atleast 10pa to keep the dust out.So no of doors,windows etc (leakage area) will drive fresh air requirements.Electrical rooms also will need pressurised and filtered ventilation systems.Water cooled systems with dedicated cooling towers are preferred due to dusty environment.Do not tap into plant wide cooling water systems as they may be running at higher temperatures than you would require.Specify wide fin spacing for AHU coils.

may i see the floor plan?

Contact each manufacturer that you listed and have each run their own A/C program and cost from which you can then select.
