    fan speed vs flow - indoor VRF units

    Dear all, I would kindly ask for an information please. While reading indoor VRF cutsheet e.g. slim duct unit , I have noticed that external static pressure rises while air flow drops?! I was expecting to see increase in flow when fan speed is increased (and thus, static pressure). E.g. 46Pa...

    Heating and Cooling Load Calculations in Excel

    All, I would kindly ask for an information please. Does anybody know where a simple piece of HVAC load calculation software (in excel for example) for a single zone building could be downloaded from? For example, something like Retscreen. Unfortunately, it does not calculate loads but energy...

    Solar Water Collectors - Large Scale Project

    Hi GMcD, Thanks for the prompt reply. Google can help a lot but not always as in this case. If not mistaken, many design guidelines including Viessmann's do not put much light on important issues such as stagnation or parallel vs serial tank connection or how to design large scale solar...

    Exhaust Strategy for Garbage Room and Corridors

    Thanks for your prompt reply. Unfortunately, our project has been canceled at the end of scheme design stage. I guess it is due to current issues in world economy.

    Stress Analysis piping chilled water

    Dear all, I have been tasked to do stress analysis of secondary side chilled water piping to determine stress risk on plate heat exchangers (PHEX). Secondary side (flow 5.5C and return 14.5C) piping extends horizontally (from PHEX to risers) and vertically from risers, branches to each FCU on...

    Underground garage smoke control

    Hi there Hirise Building, Rule of thumb for internal cooling loads: 1) small IT centres (90-150 W/sqm) 2) large IT centres (500-1000 W/sqm) The best approach is to get data from IT consultant as actual values depend on diversity. Hope this helps. Thanks

    Underground garage smoke control

    Hi DrWeig, Thanks muchly. Now, I realize that my approach is completely wrong resulting in oversized system. The trick is in smoke detector then. If CO>25ppm the system will start running and removing gasoline fumes (and smoke in case of fire eventually). I will design my system according to...

    Underground garage smoke control

    Dear all, Does anyone know what NFPA standard is related to mechanically ventilated underground garages? Any other reference is greatly appreciated. I have 2 level underground garage where fresh air is introduced via car ramp on ground floor. The idea is to size my system (ducting, 2 speed...
