    Exporting Pipe Data From C2 into Plant3D

    I have figured this out: CAESAR II: - Have piping model with any number of sections, rigids, etc. - Be able to successfully run the model with your load cases. - in the main menu, in the top ribbon select Generate Isometric Stress - Perform what set up you may need, node naming, etc. - Ribbon...

    Massachusetts Specialized Energy Code - Energy Recovery

    I am familiar with a project that originally had an enthalpy wheel to avoid cross contamination and at the end of its service life, was replaced with a glycol loop. Seems typical.

    Exporting Pipe Data From C2 into Plant3D

    Hi Everyone! We are attempting to export piping data from Caesar II into AutoCAD Plant3D. We use PLANTPCFEXPORT with PLANTPCFUNICODE turned off to successfully export our models to CAESAR II, but it would be great to have a way to do the reverse, although my research isn't turning much up...

    ISO1217:2009 Actual Volume Flow Rate

    Good Morning All, I am attempting to calculate the mass flow of a air compressor that's Free Air Delivery is 725.0 liter/second at 8.6 bar(g). ISO 1217 states the the Actual Volume Flow rate is "compressed and delivered at the standard discharge point, referred to conditions of total...

    Stacking Washers

    ASME B18.22 governs some types of washers. I would start there maybe. I would agree with you that one washer is preferable to multiple. I would say that reason 2) depends on how often these are fastened and released. If you are releasing them multiple times a day it may be impractical to...

    Piping rate

    Pressure class charts generally include class 400 piping. The pressure rating depends on the material and temperature. Freshly graduated please bear with me

    Dead head regarding fans?

    It doesn't make sense to me that increasing resistance, increases flow and reduces current since flow rate and power (& therefore current with constant V) are proportional. Could you be more specific about the system? Freshly graduated please bear with me

    Dead head regarding fans?

    Fan curves are very similar to pump curves. Consider: A fan that can move 1000 CFM at 2" w.c. (static pressure) through some duct work. Now add an air filter that will increase this resistance, so the fan is now flowing 800 CFM at 2.5" w.c. of static pressure. Now if you keep adding to this...

    Dead head regarding fans?

    Start here Link Apologies if this is not how to properly link a thread. Ultimately if you are dead heading a fan at full power that heat will accumulate within the fan leading to damage. Freshly graduated please bear with me

    NCEES FE Mechanical Exam Preparation

    I am also taking the FE exam soon, I plan on using a PDF to study so I can be more prepared for searching through it during the exam. Goodluck! Freshly graduated please bear with me

    PUMP SELECTION

    Sounds like you already have the pumps selected if you know that information. I have seen reducers on the discharge side of pumps, or the header being larger than any individual pump dis/suc size. Freshly graduated please bear with me
