RFI 006 Reference: None

1. Bldg. 5 and Bldg. 12 steam details have a pumping trap shown. This is to be used because the modulating control on the HX will modulate and the steam needs to be lifted. Due to the very small loads, in lieu of installing a steam trap discharging into a pumping trap and from the pumping trap into an electric pump, would you consider the use of a Double Duty Trap? This one item which is a combination steam trap and pumping trap, will eliminate the need for a separate steam trap, pumping trap and electric pump. Will this be acceptable?

Reply: No. It will work but, we cannot eliminate the electric pump (because it serves other systems) and the function of the combination device might be misunderstood by a servicing technician.

2. Steam PRV piping detail (with an external pilot) is typical for a PRV station along with orifice plates and insulation jackets. Due to the very small loads (42#/hr – 141#/hr) a direct acting PRV (see attached) will meet the requirements for each station and is the style of PRV’s I’d suggest using. An orifice plate would not be appropriate for these stations, without the orifice plate, the dBa levels would be from 41-52dBa. As these valves are small, an insulation jacket could not be cost justified, unless used for burn protection. Please advise if my suggestions will be accepted when bidding the PRV’s.

Reply: The proposed equipment would require changes to the existing system, not just proposed, and the functionality of the proposed system cannot be confirmed or verified without engineering evaluation. The VA does not accept the proposed change at this time.
