Question – What are the important things to be considerd before selecting devices like AHU’S and
chiller?

Answer- For AHU/FCU foe chilled water system :- CFM, STATIC PRESSURE,TON (CAPACITY), AIR
TEMPRETURE, WATER FLOW (IN GPM)

FOR AHU/FCU FOR DIRECT SYSTEM :- CFM, STATIC PRESSURE, TON AND SENSIBLE.

FOR CHILLER :- TON, OUTSIDE AIR TEMPRATURE, GPM.

NOTE : -STATIC PRESSURE TO BE CONSIDERD TO MAKE FAN SELECTION.

(SENSIBLE/3.4=HEATING CAPACITY) AND (1GPM = 2.4 TON)
