Good afternoon,
I am asking the same question in the HVAC and Fire Protection, but no one had an answer, other than telling me to read NFPA until I find something. I could not find such a reference by reading the 1.3 paragraphs for applicability. I queried the NFPA query site, response is that...
This might be helpful, both OR and sterile process. OR's require a redundant chiller, using two coils is an option. Having propylene and a separate pump would be an option or addition. Using DDC warning of decrease in discharge temperature, further decrease shutdown OA damper, then shutdown...
Stoogeyfpe,
I'm asking this because multiple manufacturers are including ASTM E84 in their advertising, and some include it only to medium pressure steam. The closest I could find is NFPA 520. That does not quite to fit, either.
I entered the following on the HVAC, no answer was available. Maybe here as it is (or could be) an NFPA issue.
I am working on replacement of steam lines in a campus setting. Decision was made to go with a pre-engineer system. I am having a problem selecting proper NFPA for E84 requirements...
Chicopee,
Would you mind to point out which NFPA to go to? I've been reading all related paragraph 1.3, can find no reference for direct buried (is dirt flammable?), shallow concrete trench, and walk-in steam tunnel.
Hopefully this will be easy.
I am working on specifications for steam pipe going through direct burial, shallow trench, and walk-on tunnel. One section is for fire/smoke rating.
A guide spec has been provided for both air conditioning and ventilation of HVAC systems under Division 23, and...
If you want to control sensible temperature and RH at the same time a reheat, or desiccant, is needed. Going thru that now. Thinking about using an APR, but haven't used it before. Anyone here had any experience using them? Last time that came up (on a different site) I used a reheat. No...
For the USA, that would be Table of Distribution and Allowance (TDA); is there a desk available?
For Modified Table of Equipment (MTOE - you all are going to Middle East) and are credited with inventing the AMF acronym (some times confused with ACE Mobile Force).
...was encountered in 2015. I was told to provide supplemental steam to allow partial occupancy and as supplement to the GSHP. Preheat temp of -3*F was told to design to. I designed to full load, supplementing the GSHP when it is not working. Was really needed the last two winters, and I was...
...Boiler plant is close enough to supplement the HP. It was decided to size the steam pipes to take whole heating load, not just for load at 0*F. Last two winters (this project has been delayed for a long time) it has run off the boiler. I updated the costs it cost to run from the chiller...
Opinions (and facts) is wanted.
I've been assigned to deciding how to replace or repair a geothermal (GSHP) for supporting a 30,000 SF warehouse. I've been discussing whether to install 17 additional wells (additional wells to supplement well design, all but 14 of the wells pooped out at 120')...
I believe that referring to comparison to "the military" misses a big point. Lot of difference exists between dealing with MTOE units than TDA units. In my dealings, MTOE has been great, TDA tends to look at organizational and political units.
If you are driving on a tollway, and you drive the full length, do you pay the toll for going the whole distance down the tollway, or do you pay the toll for every exit on the tollway plus the final toll?
