Section 6.3.2.4.5 of API RP 500 (Nov. 1997, Reaffirmed Nov. 2002) provides equations to calculate 'minimum area for inlet and outlet openings in buildings to obtain a complete change of air each five minutes.' However, it recommends using these equations only for 'enclosed areas...of approximately 30 cubic meters (1,000 cubic feet) or less.'
Where can I find equations to calculate naturally ventilated inlet/outlet opening sizes for buildings larger than 1,000 cubic feet? Ultimately, the objective is to use Class I, Div II instrumentation and equipment inside the building.
Thanks for your advice ~ I appreciate it.
