Newspaper Storage

[Fayaz]

Hello,
I am assigned a task to design HVAC for a newspaper storage facility (Stacker Facility)
Any Help?
Any Comments?
I am looking for Design temperature, Humidity and air distribution.
Thank you,


Fayaz

Hello Fayaz

You probably should contact TAPPI, the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry they will probably be able to give you all the information you
require. I have no address but you can likely find them on the web.

Hello Fayaz!

Let me suggest you this kind of approach:

1. You have to know the mean temperature and humidity reference values: Those are your "set/nominal-points". You can find those at various sources, as the named before or at some recent ASHRAE manual.

2. About the place you want to treat, to do air-conditionning:
- the dimensions of the place?;
- the climate conditions along the year?;
- how much paper you want to storage there?
- Thermal loads ?
- how is its distribution in the space in order to apply the most appropriate air-diffusion model?

3. In order to design/calculate your installation, that means to define which equipment is the more suitable/economic for you case:
- Chiller and air handling-unit with ducts?
- How much fresh air?
- Thermostatic or enthalpic control?
- The same approach with roof-top unit?
- Recovery energy devices to consider?
Notice 1: These last ones depends on the flow-rates and power magnitudes you have, partial/global pay-back analysis, and so on, so on...
- And very important: you need how "to read" the building, the space in order to design the most efficient/cheap installation to fulfill the effects your Client wants, looking for!
Finally. try to get some advice from some one more experienced in the field.
(Notice 2: Air-conditionning is complex, but it is not difficult it needs rather (and always!), some good-sense=experience. Each case, is a case!)
Hope this can help!
