and scenarios are based on a 10ºF temperature differential and 20 percent In addition to reviewing the capacity of the plants, the distribution piping has been reviewed. In general, it is good engineering practice to limit chilled water piping velocities to 10 feet per second (FPS) or 5 feet of loss per 100 feet of pipe (FT/100 FT), whichever is the more restrictive factor.
