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. Allowable free air velocity for a intake louver = 700 fpm
2. Maximum 104 degrees F temperature in pump station.
3. Add 16 percent additional free area for bug screen.
4. The Outdoor design conditions shall be based on those of Fort Lauderdale,
Florida.

Assumptions:

1. Lighting heat gain ~ 2W/ft^2
2. Fan heat gain ~ 80 Btu/hr/fan
3. Ignore operating floor cooling effect
4. 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

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.
