Appendix 2: HVAC water pipe capacities c) A 400 RT chiller is used to serve 20 equally sized air handling units (AHU) in 2 separate buildings as shown in Figure Q3c. The total pump head is 250 feet and the temperature difference between the chilled water supply and return is designed at
10\deg F
. Determine: i) the pipe diameter for section
{i}
to
{iii}
, ii) the size for chilled water pump if the efficiency is
80%
, and iii) the saving in chilled water pump capacity if higher chilled water temperature difference is used. Show your calculation using any 2 temperature difference figures. (15 marks)
