APPENDIX D.12 item 1 Calculation - Hydration Pump Station


Purpose: Ventilation for electrical room. System Description: The electrical room shall house the electrical, instrumentation and control, and the communication equipment. The ventilation system shall consist of an exhaust fan that will exhaust the heated air from the room with an intake louver to permit the cooler outside air to enter the room. The exhaust fan shall be thermostatically controlled. Design Criteria: 1. 2. 3. 4. Allowable free air velocity for a intake louver = 700 fpm Maximum 104 degrees F temperature in pump station. Add 16 percent additional free area for bug screen. The Outdoor design conditions shall be based on those of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Assumptions: 1. 2. 3. 4. Lighting heat gain ~ 2W/ft^2 Fan heat gain ~ 80 Btu/hr/fan Ignore operating floor cooling effect Assume box-like structure fully exposed. The building will have no windows and be constructed of cast-in-place concrete and 8 fully grouted masonry units. The roof shall be 10 hollow core slabs. The solar heating loads shall be addressed by a 10 percent increase in the ventilation air supply. At 30% design the solar heat load will be calculated due to the large openings required for detailing the building design. Other building heat loads shall be assumed to be negligible.

Calculations: Determine ventilation supply fan sizing: Lighting heat load = 16 x 21 x 2 = 672 W = 38.2 btu/min Fan heat load = 80 Btu/hr = 1.33 Btu/min Heat Gain Equipment Electrical Room (preliminary estimate) 5 kW = 285 Btu/min Total heat load = 285 + 38.2 + 1.33 = 325 Btu/min + 10% envelop heat load + 15% heat load contingency = 406 Btu/min q = 1.08 x Q x (Ti to) = (40.6) x (60) = 1.08Q (9 deg F) Q = 2,500 CFM 1

Determine louver size: 2,500 CFm/700 = 3.6 sq. ft. Add 16% for bug screen = 3.6 + 16% = 4.2 sq. ft. Required fan rating: 2,500 CFM JennFan model 203A: rating of 1,800 CFM, 1/3 Hp motor, requiring a 24 x 24 wall opening. (Reference JennFan data Appendix D.12 item 3)

APPENDIX D.12 item 2 Calculation - Inflow Pump Station


Purpose: Ventilation for engine pump room at the Inflow Pump Station. System Description: A forced air ventilation system will be provided for the operating floor area of the pump station. The ventilation system will be available during all times of the year to remove space heat gains and will utilize wall mounted fans for supply and for exhaust.
