Pumb Room

The document calculates the ventilation requirements for a generator room based on the heat output of generators and pumps. It determines that the required ventilation is 810 cubic meters per minute, or 28,575 cubic feet per minute. Given an air velocity of 1000 feet per minute, the required louver area is calculated to be 29 square feet or 2.7 square meters. Important notes provide guidelines on proper ventilation flow.

GENERATOR ROOM VENTILATION CALCULATION

Fire pump Capacity= 1000 GPM

H
Ventilating air (cu.m/min.) =
D x SH x Dt

Where :-
H = Total Heat Radiation in (KW) For (Diesel Pump +Electrical Pump +Jockey Pump)

Diesel Pump= ((Break HORSE POWER *2545)/EFFICIENCY) =

H = 125.5 KW (Ref. To specs. Sheet)


V = Ventilating air (cu.m/min.)
D = Density of air (kg/m3)
= 1.07 At 54 deg. C
SH = Specific heat of air ( kw.min/Kg.C)
= 0.017
dT= Temp. Rise inside engine room ( deg.C)
= 10 deg.C
ECA = Engine Combustion Air (Exhaust gas flow )
= 120 cu.m/min (Ref. To specs. Sheet)
7,182 cu.m/hr.

THEN :-

125.5
Ventilating air (V) = + 120
1.07 x 0.017 x 10

V = 810 cu.m/min

V = 28,575 cu.ft/min.

INTAKE LOUVER SIZE

- Consider Air Velocity = 1000 ft/min.


Total Air Quantity = 28,575 cu.ft/min.
Louver Area = 29 Sq.ft
2.7 Sq.m

Important Notes :-
1- clean , cool , dry air circulates around the switchgear , flows through the rear of the generator , across the engine , a
through the radiator
2- Cool air shoul always be available for the engine air cleaner (air filter ).
3- For best ventilation results , air should flow first across the generator then to both sides of the engine .

4- Inlets located at the end of the room will provide adequate ventilation only to the engine nearast the inlet.

5- Air flow restriction should be 0.5 inch W.G


generator , across the engine , and discharges

des of the engine .

ine nearast the inlet.
