A warehouse needs 3cfm in a control area. the controlled area is 25ft x 50ft. with a height of 20ft. how many cfm would be needed to reach the goal of 3cfm?
PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATE CFM
NOW,
Control area that needed to warehouse = 3 CFM
Dimension of the controlled area,
Width = 25 ft
Length = 50ft
Height = 20ft
Cubic volume of the room = (25*50*20) = 25,000 cubic feet
CFM= (Volume of the room * air changes per hour ) / 60 minutes
= (25000* 6)/60
= 2500 ( for all room area)
No of cfm needed for every 3cfm = ( 2500 /3) = 833 (approx.)
For warehouse, the range of air exchanges can be ( 6 - 30) ,it depends on condition of users and designers (heat engineers ) . Here I have taken 6 so get my answer , you can get different answer on the basics of air changes per hour that you have taken.
The value of air changes per hour ranges from 6 to 30 for warehouse that you can get from various trial method that are already done by engineers.
