The new insulated hot water system shall replace the existing pipe distribution and shall include an in-line circulator and standby circulator, normally open ATC control valves to the radiant heat food warmers, DOAS heating, and existing dishwasher heating/booster coil.
The HVAC system selection and design intent is based on the processed outlined in ASHRAE Handbook 2020, Chapter 1, “HVAC System Analysis and Selection.”
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a major convention center located in the southern part of the U.S. has put together an IPD team to update the policy and procedure (P&P) manual with “lessons-learned” over the past 18 months.
A finalized system selection shall consider a central plant heating versus decentralized heating plants, and all specialized systems shall include general exhaust, boiler flue exhaust, and boiler plant ventilation.
The system includes a 2,000-ton open cooling tower with six condenser water pumps and four 500-ton centrifugal electric chillers with two condenser water pumps for process chilled water cooling.
