| | |
| | 1) MECHANICAL ENGINEER MUST PROVIDE INFORMATION FROM |
| | CHAPTER 11 OF THE FBC M SEE BELOW. |
| | |
| | SECTION1102 |
| | SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS |
| | 1102.1GENERAL. |
| | THE SYSTEM CLASSIFICATION, ALLOWABLE REFRIGERANTS, |
| | MAXIMUM QUANTITY, ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS, LOCATION |
| | LIMITATIONS, AND FIELD PRESSURE TEST REQUIREMENTS SHALL |
| | BE DETERMINED AS FOLLOWS: |
| | 1. 1.DETERMINE THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM'S |
| | CLASSIFICATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 1103.3. |
| | 2. 2.DETERMINE THE REFRIGERANT CLASSIFICATION IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 1103.1. |
| | 3. 3.DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE QUANTITY OF |
| | REFRIGERANT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 1104, BASED ON |
| | TYPE OF REFRIGERANT, SYSTEM CLASSIFICATION AND |
| | OCCUPANCY. |
| | 4. 4.DETERMINE THE SYSTEM ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 1104. |
| | 5. 5.REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT AND APPLIANCE LOCATION AND |
| | INSTALLATION SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS OF |
| | CHAPTER 3. |
| | 6. 6.NONFACTORY-TESTED, FIELD-ERECTED EQUIPMENT AND |
| | APPLIANCES SHALL BE PRESSURE TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | SECTION 1108. |
| | |
| | 1104.4VOLUME CALCULATIONS. |
| | VOLUME CALCULATIONS SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | SECTIONS 1104.4.1 THROUGH 1104.4.3. |
| | 1104.4.1NONCOMMUNICATING SPACES. |
| | WHERE THE REFRIGERANT-CONTAINING PARTS OF A SYSTEM ARE |
| | LOCATED IN ONE OR MORE SPACES THAT DO NOT COMMUNICATE |
| | THROUGH PERMANENT OPENINGS OR HVAC DUCTS, THE VOLUME OF |
| | THE SMALLEST, ENCLOSED OCCUPIED SPACE SHALL BE USED TO |
| | DETERMINE THE PERMISSIBLE QUANTITY OF REFRIGERANT IN |
| | THE SYSTEM. |
| | 1104.4.2COMMUNICATING SPACES. |
| | WHERE AN EVAPORATOR OR CONDENSER IS LOCATED IN AN AIR |
| | DUCT SYSTEM, THE VOLUME OF THE SMALLEST, ENCLOSED |
| | OCCUPIED SPACE SERVED BY THE DUCT SYSTEM SHALL BE USED |
| | TO DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE QUANTITY OF |
| | REFRIGERANT IN THE SYSTEM. |
| | EXCEPTION: IF AIRFLOW TO ANY ENCLOSED SPACE CANNOT BE |
| | REDUCED BELOW ONE-QUARTER OF ITS MAXIMUM, THE ENTIRE |
| | SPACE SERVED BY THE AIR DUCT SYSTEM SHALL BE USED TO |
| | DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE QUANTITY OF REFRIGERANT |
| | IN THE SYSTEM. |
| | 1104.4.3PLENUMS. |
| | WHERE THE SPACE ABOVE A SUSPENDED CEILING IS CONTINUOUS |
| | AND PART OF THE SUPPLY OR RETURN AIR PLENUM SYSTEM, |
| | THIS SPACE SHALL BE INCLUDED IN CALCULATING THE VOLUME |
| | OF THE ENCLOSED SPACE. |
| | |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. ADDITIONALLY, PLEASE INSERT |
| | CORRECTED PLAN SHEETS INTO THE SETS, REMOVE THE OLD |
| | SHEETS FROM THE PLAN SETS, BIND THEM TOGETHER |
| | SEPARATELY AND MARK VOID OR OLD ON THEM. PLEASE RETAIN |
| | THEM FOR REFERENCE WITH THE NEW SUBMITTED PLANS. THIS |
| | PROCESS WILL ALSO APPLY TO ANY DOCUMENTS SUCH AS |
| | PRODUCT APPROVALS OR CALCULATIONS BEING REPLACED OR |
| | UPDATED. |
