Critical Facility Mechanical Equipment And System Reliability
Come to terms with the key terms, and learn how to wrestle with the cumulative effect as each component tries to edge the overall system reliability downward.
In today’s world, so-called “high-performance, sustainable” facilities are a dime a dozen. But many of these buildings rely on overly complex mechanical systems to carry out their mission. While these systems may meet design requirements, they routinely fall short of performance expectations — a direct result of the mismatch between elaborate systems and the often-limited resources of the facilities personnel expected to operate them.
You were just selected to design a critical exhaust system. The critical exhaust system must maintain negative space pressurization without failure for the five-year time period between scheduled maintenance services. The client wants to review the proposed critical exhaust system design reliability calculations.
