[Equest-users] fishpond

[Bishop, Bill]

Cristian,

You can model it but you will need to calculate the latent and sensible loads yourself, at least if you are using eQUEST. Without having experience with fishponds, I would approach it like a natatorium (indoor swimming pool) and use the ASHRAE Handbook - HVAC Applications Chapter 5 for design guidance and loads calculations. Also, see this article: http://hpac.com/humidification-dehumidification/simplified-calculating-evaporation-1011/ for alternate method of calculating evaporation loads. Based on your drawings, I would also research state-of-the-art for aquaculture facilities, as that looks to be what you are designing.

Regards,
Bill

Sorry, but I meant "design" instead of "model"... because I don´t think to model a room with water in it be possible...

Greetings!

I have to model a room with a fishpond (more like close to a several fountains where fishes will be inside). WxLxH=9x13x2.5 in meters.
Has anybody modeled something like that?

So, what I need to know is about ventilation rates for a room like that, wich contains water and fishes swimming in it, but my worry is about condensations, so if anybody has some paper or standard, please let me know.

Thanks in advance...
