Actual physical layout

6. Pipe velocities much in excess of 10 ftls should be avoided.
7. Limit the number of sizes (ANSI schedule 40) to 4 (buildings A and B, building C, building D, and the supply/return loop to the chiller and main pump).
8. Provide valves to isolate each pump. (Note that items 1 and 2 may do the job.)

Accomplish a preliminary system design. At least the following should be specified for the system:

1. Layout of the network

(a) actual physical layout

(b) “Z” arrangement for Hardy-Cross input

2. Lengths and sizes of all pipes required
3. Number and type of valves and fittings
4. Increases in head and power delivered to the fluid for all required pumps
5. List of materials (diameters, lengths, valves, … ) required
