What we've been doing

Steve Ebels

We've been putting in some serious hours at an injection molding factory installing an RS-11 Viessmann, associated piping, pumps and fan coils. The factory has never had any source of heat other than the presses since they moved into the new 60 x 200 facility 4 years ago. The heat from the machines was more than adequate. Now, with the economic slowdown they don't have enough running to keep the place warm so they gave us a call to remedy the situation. One of the design problems we had to deal with was zero floor space out in the shop area to place anything. All piping and heating units had to be up in the ceiling joists because of overhead cranes above the presses and forklift traffic around the perimeter of the building. (actually 2 bldgs totaling 22,000 sq ft)

The system needed to maintain around 55* at design (-15*) and they weren't fussy about having it real even tempwise throughout the building so we decided to go woth a single fan coil in each part. 200K in the front part and 450K in the back. Our primary loop in the mech room flows around 80 gpm and the secondary loop to the two fan coils flows 60 gpm. We also left provision for attaching other loads to the boiler in the future to accomodate their expansion plans.

The piping was the fun part. 2 1/2" and 2" steel ranging from 16 to 25 ft. in the air. Couldn't do it without a scissor lift. We used grooved fittings on all 700 ft of pipe and didn't have a single drip anywhere at test pressure. (45psi)

The Viessmann went together like a dream. the gas controls came mounted on the panel which just screwed to the frame. Everything just plugs in. Compared to having to field assemble all of those components it probably saved at least 8-9 hours of time.

Check out the pics and give me some feedback. I'm always open to some good constructive critique from you guys.
