Equipment Types

The below list of fittings illustrates the tool icon along with the <schema name> <item name> used in above key in syntax, and the description of the fitting.

`ElectricBoiler "ElectricTube"`	Electric Boiler — A type of boiler in which electrical supply heats up the tubes thereby the water and the surrounding atmosphere.
`Boiler "FireTube"`	Fire Tube Boiler — A type of boiler in which hot gases from a fire pass through one or more tubes running through a sealed container of water. The heat of the gases is transferred through the walls of the tubes by thermal conduction, heating the water and ultimately creating steam.
`Boiler "WaterTube"`	Water Boiler — A type of boiler in which water circulates in tubes heated externally by the fire. Fuel is burned inside the furnace, creating hot gas which heats water in the steam-generating tubes. In smaller boilers, additional generating tubes are separate in the furnace, while larger utility boilers rely on the water-filled tubes that make up the walls of the furnace to generate steam.
`BMP_ShellAndTubeHeatExchanger "Default"`	Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger — Consists of a shell (a large pressure vessel) with a bundle of tubes inside it. One fluid runs through the tubes, and another fluid flows over the tubes (through the shell) to transfer heat between the two fluids.
`BMP_StorageTank "StorageTank"`	Storage Tank — A storage container, usually for holding liquids. The tank Typically cubical in shape, could be of selective material such as steel, concrete, fiberglass to withhold required liquids, sometimes compressed gases (gas tank).
`BMP_Vessel Vertical`	Vertical Vessel — Vertical cylindrical pressure vessels usually containing a series of trays or plates designed to ensure mixing between a rising gas or vapor and a falling liquid stream. A vertical tower is similar to a horizontal drum in that it comprises of a shell and two dished heads, one at the top and one at the bottom, the tower is supported by a skirt welded to the bottom head.
`BMP_GRPTankPanel "GRPTankPanel"`	GRP Tank Panel — One piece or sectional type GRP (Glass Reinforced Polypropylene) panel tanks are square in shape, usually square sectional panels bolted together with gaskets in between forming a large area inside, suitable for storing liquid. One inlet and two outlets can be placed on suitable panel to manage flow.
`BMP_EvaporativeChiller "Default"`	Evaporative Chiller — Evaporative chiller removes heat from a liquid via a vapor-compression cycle. They are cooled by ambient air and a mist of water is sprayed across the condenser coil to aid in the cooling process. These chillers supply chilled water to air handler units within the buildings they serve at reduced energy consumption.
`BMP_ExpansionVessel "Expansion Vessel"`	Plumbing Expansion Vessel — To protect closed water heating systems and domestic hot water systems from excessive pressure. The tank is partially filled with air, whose compressibility cushions shock caused by water hammer and absorbs excess water pressure caused by thermal expansion.
`BMP_AirCooledChiller "Default"`	Air Cooled Chiller — A chiller with air cooled condensers removes heat from a liquid via a vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycle.
`Condenser "OutDoor"`	Outdoor Condenser — The Outdoor Condenser is a heat transfer unit used to condense vapor into liquid an essential unit of heat exchangers of HVAC refrigeration systems for air conditioning of buildings.
`PlateHeatExchanger "Default"`	Heat Exchanger-Plate — A heat exchanger is designed for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. The media may be separated by a solid wall, so that they never mix, or they may be in direct contact. Heat exchanger is widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural gas processing, and sewage treatment. Heat exchanger such as internal combustion engine where a circulating fluid known as engine coolant flows through radiator coils and air flows past the coils, which cools the coolant and heats the incoming air.
`BMP_WaterCooledChiller "Default"`	Water Cooled Chiller — A water-cooled air conditioning system that cools inside air, creating a more comfortable and productive environment. Chillers provide "process" cooling to equipment in an effort to maximize productivity in the manufacturing environment.
`BMP_WaterHeater "Water Heater"`	Plumbing Water Heater (Vertical/Horizontal) — Vessel to provide a more-or-less constant supply of hot water and water heated to steam usually for space heating. The temperature varies based on the consumption rate of hot water; the water becomes cooler as flow is increased.
`BMP_DirectFiredGasWaterHeater "Default"`	Direct Fired Gas Water Heater — Heating unit that heats a building by oil fired through radiators.
`BMPCoolingTower Centrifugal"`	Cooling Tower Centrifugal — Cooling tower equipped with centrifugal fans. The device is both direct (open circuit) and indirect (closed circuit) heat rejection equipment. It extracts waste heat to the atmosphere though the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature, providing cooled water for air-conditioning.
`BMPCoolingTower "Default"`	Cooling Tower (Axial) — The device is both direct (open circuit) and indirect (closed circuit) heat rejection equipment. It extracts waste heat to the atmosphere though the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature, providing cooled water for air-conditioning. Used in cooling the circulating water used HVAC systems for cooling buildings.
`UnitHeater "Default"`	Unit Heater — Unit heaters are indirect units that generate heat indirectly from a medium of steam or hot water piped through a central distribution system. Unit heater, enclosed in a common casing for traditional means of heating hard-to-warm spaces, consists of a fan for circulating air over a heat-exchange surface does the auxiliary heating.
