Can I use the ASHRAE chart to estimate the life expectancy of equipment in unique or specialized applications?

The ASHRAE chart provides general guidelines for HVACR equipment life expectancy in typical applications. However, equipment used in unique or specialized applications, such as data centers, hospitals, or industrial processes, may have different life expectancy values due to the specific operating conditions and requirements. In such cases, it is recommended to consult with equipment manufacturers, industry experts, or conduct site-specific studies to estimate equipment life expectancy.
