Line Sizing

This document contains a line sizing spreadsheet for an ammonia refrigeration system. It provides specifications for various piping components including suction lines, liquid lines, defrost lines, condenser piping, thermosiphon piping, and vessel vent sizing. Key parameters listed include pipe diameter, pressure drop per 100 feet of pipe, and maximum velocity. The spreadsheet complies with guidelines in ASHRAE RP-185 for properly sizing refrigerant piping.
