Required:
1.0 Calculate the volume flow rate handled by the chiller.
2.0 Calculate the volume flow rate carried by each AHUs and FCUs.
3.0 Prepare tabulated information to present the longest pipe run and the required information regarding
flow rate, pipe sizes DN, Velocity of Flow, pressures gradient, equivalent length and section pressure
drop.
4.0 Determine the total dynamic head of circulating chilled water pump if the chiller has 2.4Kpa pressure
