Demand Profile: Consumption per Shift, Average vs Peak, Diversity & a Leakage Allowance
This lesson is part of the course
In this lesson
You build the plant's air demand from a consumer list: cubic metres per shift, the average flow over each shift, the peak with a given diversity factor and the design flow with a given leakage allowance.
