Question:
How do you determine if an isolated (read: furthest) unit ventilator is receiving enough GPM from a pump? Background Discussion: During a pump house relocation a new pump and (4) Unit ventilators are re-routed and re-circuited however the one unit ventilator was forgotten back at its original location. New piping was added to capture it at its old location but the distance to make-up from the feed pump house was increased substantially.
Specifics:
Unit Ventilators: 1-3; single row/(750cfm)(125 OA) Total Capacity 32,800 BTUH/Sensible BTUH 20,960/GPM: 6.68/Fluid Coil PD in ft h20: 9.08
Unit Ventilator: 4; single row/(750cfm)(250 OA) Total Capacity 36,302 BTUH/Sensible BTUH 23,385/GPM: 2.9/Fluid Coil PD in ft h20: 11.03
Forgotten Ventilator - unknown but comparable to 1-3 above {all connections are 1 1/2"}
Pump Frame mounted end suction pump / 583 GPM/85 ft of head/1760 rpm/20 HP - suction line 4" / discharge 3"
Thinking: scale distance of piping and measure against ft of head on pump for gpm?
