This is a new problem for me.
I am commissioning a hospital with 5 Trane series RTHD chillers. Unfortunately, the machine room is located in the basement and in the center of the building footprint.
The chiller pressure relief valves (3 per chiller) are piped and sized correctly into a common header.
The 12" black iron header runs horizontally for 20 meters then turns vertical for 4 stories.
My current copy of B52, the "go-to" book only provides pipe sizing to 6" It does not provide acceptable configurations for common headers.
Is there reference material for me to check out the header?
Thank you,
Tom
