FACILITY REQUIREMENTS

Think about your HVAC system and its

application?

How does the HVAC system contribute to the

success of your operation?

What are the short and

long term objectives for your facility?

How well does your

HVAC system meet
these objectives?

PROBLEM AREAS

What type of breakdowns do you experience?

When do you repair or replace failing equipment?

What if problems arent getting fixed the first

time?

What if you are experiencing excessive energy

consumption?

How can you tell if maintenance costs are

excessive?

Scenario 1
Fouled condenser tubes
Increases energy

Measurable by deviations in
condenser pressure from
design

Scenario 1
Condenser is an open system
that is exposed to the
surrounding elements
Contaminants settle in
condenser thus reducing heat
transfer
Reduction results in
increased energy use
