+
+## Mechanical Rules of Thumb
+
+### Cooling towers
+
+Avoid single cell tower
+
+Avoid tower without a bleed-off
+
+Avoid tower without heat trace and insulation on the make-up water
+
+Avoid line-to-line bypass (in lieu of dumping into the sump)
+
+### Chillers/chilled water
+
+
+Avoid one chiller system (exception: dual circuit air-cooled)
+
+Avoid series chillers without bypasses
+
+Avoid a coil with more than 14 fins/inch
+
+### Equipment/misc.
+
+Avoid simplex air compressor
+
+Avoid simplex sump pump
+
+Avoid dx built-up systems (vav)
+
+Avoid coil face velocity above 550 fpm (could send condensate down ductwork)
+
+Avoid horizontal cold water lines or horizontal roof drain lines above ceilings without insulating (dripping/sweating)
+
+Isolation valves on both sides of all equipment - good practice
+
+Think about future service: don't locate where dangerous to service
+
+Avoid discharging roof drains onto a driveway or where pedestrian traffic
+
+Avoid floor mounted water closets in commercial buildings - cleaning issue
+
+Minimum 4" housekeeping pads underneath all floor mounted equipment
+
+Ashrae recommends 400 fpm face velocity maximum at intake louvers
+
+Avoid standard filters at more than 500 fpm (see mfgr recommendations)
+
+Trap primers on all floor drains
+
+### Ashrae 62 (ventilation)
+
+* 20 cfm/person oa in office buildings.
+    exceptions: large assembly areas
+
+* 15 cfm/person oa in schools.
+
+note: this ventilation might exceed the local codes,
+but ashrae recommendations should be met.
+
+### Smacna pressure class
+
+* 1" wg - low pressure
+* 3" wg - medium pressure
+* Under 3" wg - smacna does not recommend duct testing
+
+If higher static pressures are specified,
+try to get lower pressure classes approved.
+The savings in duct costs are significant.
+
+### Ductwork sizing
+
+| Case         | Max Friction Per 100ft |
+| ------------ | ---------------------- |
+| Low pressure | 0.10"                  |
+| Exhaust duct | 0.15"                  |
+
+
+| Case                  | Velocity FPM                    |
+| --------------------- | ------------------------------- |
+| Medium pressure riser | Max 3000                        |
+| Medium pressure       | Max 2500                        |
+| Low pressure          | Max 1800-2000                   |
+| Return air shaft      | Max 1000                        |
+| Outside air shaft     | Max 1000                        |
+| Grease duct           | Target 1800, Min 1500, Max 2200 |
+
+Due to excessive noise,
+Avoid fan-powered or VAV boxes larger than 2000 CFM.
+
+Install a balance damper at each low-pressure runout to diffusers.
+
+No more than 90° turn with flex duct, straight duct run into boxes.
+
+Where space permits,
+consider converting rectangular ductwork to round ductwork.
+
+Energy code requires all duct to be sealed.
+
+### Pumps
+
+Try to locate condenser water pumps as low as possible
+as compared to the cooling tower basin - NPSH - gravity flow.
+
+Select pumps for "non-overloading".
+
+Select impeller no larger than 90% of maximum impeller size.
+
+### Air units
+
+| Tons          | CFM/Ton |
+| ------------- | ------- |
+| under 20      | ~400    |
+| 25 and larger | ~350    |
+
+
+Avoid VFD bypass on VAV fan systems
+because it can blow apart duct in manual mode.
+Consider a spare VFD, or dump damper/blow-out doors.
+
+Avoid larger economizer systems without powered exhaust.
+
