Selecting the Right System

To select an appropriate Vacuum Center, you need to know the following:

• The type of equipment requiring drainage,

• The collective load point value of the fixtures and equipment requiring drainage

• Maximum anticipated continuous flow in gallons per minute, from all drainage combined.

If you need assistance, please contact AcornVac’s Sales Engineering Department at 800-591-9920 or 909-902-1141, or by email at info@acornvac.com.

Total Project Load Points Value

Sizing Your Champion

1. Calculate the total fixture load requirement by adding the total point value for all equipment requiring vacuum drainage.

2. Refer to the Maximum LPV in the Championship Product Series table to select the appropriate system.

3. Calculate the continuous flow rate for all fixtures combined. To do this, consider the normal use of the fixtures and equipment. Add the anticipated gallons per minute flow from all fixtures that might require drainage at the same time.

An Example of Sizing Your Champion

A stocking and distribution warehouse with men’s and women’s bathrooms

Load Point Value	Project Data
Fixture Type	LPV Per Fixture	Quantity of Fixture Type	Total Item Value (Multiply Quantity by LPV Value)
Vacuum Toilet; .05 GPF	7	3	21
Urinals	3	1	3
Lavatory or Hand Wash Basin	1	2	2
Floor Drains	5	2	10
Mop or Utility Sink	5	1	5
Multiple Bay Prep Sinks	10	0	0
Misting Systems	1	0	0
Refrigerated Case Equipment	.5	0	0
AC Units	4	0	0
Emergency Eye Wash	6	0	0
Total Project Load Points Value			41

In this example, the total Load Point Value is 41. This point value indicates System 300, from the Championship Series Products table – provided that the anticipated continuous in-flow rate from all fixtures combined does not exceed 15-gallons per minute. If the anticipated continuous in-flow rate exceeds 15-gallons per minute, then select the system rated for 30-gallons per minute.
