Comparison of China-ASHRAE HVAC Design Criteria in Coal-fired Power Plants

This paper investigates the requirements of Chinese and ASHRAE HVAC design manuals and codes for various types of buildings within the power plants. By analysing the characteristics of HVAC basic design criteria for different building areas, the summary of similarities and differences between these two design systems are found. This paper studies the applicability and adaptability of Chinese HVAC design system as an auxiliary design basis in foreign power plant project, aiming to provide the basis for the selection of HVACdesignfor foreign design of power plant projects.
