Engineering planning checklist

Industrial Cooling Sizing Pipeline

Calculate factory ventilation requirements, chilled water cooling capacity, and cooling tower makeup water.

Use as a checklist, not an automated design workflow. Complete and verify each calculation independently. Only explicit carry-forward links move a compatible value; all other inputs remain your responsibility.

What this workflow covers

Calculate factory ventilation requirements, chilled water cooling capacity, and cooling tower makeup water.

This 3-step checklist is intended for hvac engineer. Confirm each linked calculator's units, formula, assumptions and operating limits before using the result in a project decision.

Sequence Execution
1

Factory Air Exchange & Ventilation

Scope-limited calculation

Calculate required ventilation airflow (CFM or mΒ³/hr) based on building volume and required Air Changes per Hour (ACH).

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Factory Air Exchange & Ventilation.
2

Industrial Chilled Water Cooling Capacity (HVAC)

Calculate industrial chiller cooling duty (Tons of Refrigeration & kW) from chilled water flow rate and temperature difference (Ξ”T).

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Industrial Chilled Water Cooling Capacity (HVAC).
3

Cooling Tower Makeup & Blowdown

Scope-limited calculation

Calculate evaporation loss, blowdown rate, and total makeup water requirement for industrial cooling towers based on cycles of concentration.

WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Cooling Tower Makeup & Blowdown.
