1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This design document covers the mechanical installation systems’ designs of AKH Railway Project’s CONTROL BUILDING
& GUARD HOUSE in Ethopia. The design report is composed of the following sections,

i. Heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system concept description and calculations,
ii. Plumbing system description and calculations

2 STANDARDS, REFERENCES and SOFTWARES

Mechanical systems are to be developed on the basis of architectural drawings and client requirements by taking the
following international codes into consideration;

ASHRAE Standards (American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers)
 ASHRAE Handbook, 2007 Applications Volume
 ASHRAE Handbook, 2009 Fundamentals Volume
 ASHRAE Handbook, 2008 Systems & Equipment Volume
 ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2017

ASPE Standards
 American Society of Plumbing Engineers Plumbing System Data Book 1
 American Society of Plumbing Engineers Plumbing System Data Book 2

International Code Council

International Plumbing Code 2009

The following softwares will mainly be used for the structural design of Buildings:

 AutoCAD

 Carrier E20-II Hourly Analysis Heat Load Program

 Other engineering and drawing software

3 DESIGN CRITERIA

3.1 Outdoor Design Criteria

General outdoor design temperatures of Ethiopia is given above. The route is generally around Amhara region and through
Addis Abada. In order to be on the safer side, the outdoor design temperature is selected as below;

 Latitude : 10 deg North

 Longitude : 38 deg. East
 Elevation : 2000 meters
 Summer : 32,8oC DB & %68 RH (27oC WB)
 Winter : 6oC DB
 Daily Range : 10oC DB

3.2 Indoor Design Criteria

Indoor comfort conditions are selected according to equipment specifications & ASHRAE standards as follows;

Room Name Summer (DB & RH) Winter (DB)

Battery Room, Control Room, PFC Room max.30 oC & %50 (Design 30 oC & %50) min. 0 oC (Design 5 oC)
PFC TR Room max.40 oC min. 0 oC
WC - 10 oC
Guard/Security Room ~26 oC ~20 oC

3.3 Internal Heat Loads
Internal heat loads are selected according to equipment specifications as follows;

Room Name Internal Load

Lightning 10 W/m2
PFC Room Equipment Full Load 24 kW with %70 diversity 16,8kW selected
Control Room Equipment 20# x 10 W/unit = 200 W (for safety, 3 kW selected)
Battery Room 150~300 W/m2 (for safety, 280 W/m2 selected)
Guard/Security Room 15 W/m2 lights & 100 W computer etc

3.4 Ventilation Requirement

Outdoor air requirements for occupants are to be determined in accordance with equipment specifications and
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2017 Table-6.1.
Room Name Flow Rate
WC/urinal 23,6 L/s.closet.urinal or 10ach
Battery Room 25 ach
Control Room NA (natural vent.)
PFC Room Each cabin fresh air need is 1.400m3/h For 10# cabin & %70 diversity 10.000m3/h selected
TR Room for dT 5oC cooling

4 HVAC SYSTEM
Due to outdoor design temperature (32,8oC), equipment room design 30oC can not be maintained by fan/ventilation in critical
seasons. Therefore, for rooms indoor design temperature 30oC shall be maintained by Split Type AC Units.

PFC-TR room cooling and ventilation is provided by door louvers & wall type exhaust fans.

PFC room ventilation is provided by means of fresh air – air handling unit according to cabinet ventilation requirements. In
order to maintain (+) pressure, exhaust fans total air flow is lower than the fresh air ventilation unit.
