TM 5-698-5, TECHNICAL MANUAL, SURVEY OF RELIABILITY AND AVAILABILITY INFORMATION FOR POWER DISTRIBUTION, POWER GENERATION, AND HEATING, VENTILATING AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) COMPONENTS FOR COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, AND UTILITY INSTALLATIONS (22 JULY 2006)., The purpose of this manual is to explain the process of how the reliability data in appendix B of this manual regarding power generation, power distribution and Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) components was developed. This manual is intended to summarize the entire process of obtaining the reliability metrics of the pre-described components and what types of facilities provided the data so that the facility engineer can understand the foundation behind the reliability metrics. Upon reading this document the facility engineer should be able to make a more knowledgeable assessment for applications of the data to support government, commercial, industrial and utility installations.
