    Design Calculation For Sprinkler For Shell Cooling: Friction Loss Per Meter of Riser Line

    Uploaded by

    kmas1612
    This document calculates the design of a sprinkler system for shell cooling of a tank with a diameter of 17.06m and height of 15.53m. It determines that 70 sprinklers spaced 0.76m apart are needed based on a water flow rate requirement of 10,146 l/min for shell cooling. The available pressure of 2.07 bar at the furthest sprinkler is sufficient based on the 100.8 K-factor of the proposed Tyco sprinkler nozzle.

    Design density as per NFPA15 = 12.

    20 (l/min)/m2

    System pressure = 8.00 bar


    Tank diameter = 17.06 m
    Tank height = 15.53 m
    Proposed sprinkler: Tyco sprinkler nozzle, MV57, 1/2" NPT spray angle 160 degree, leaded gunmetal,
    K factor 100.8

    Design Calculation for Sprinkler for shell cooling


    Water flow rate for shell cooling = Design Density x Shell area
    = 12.20 x ∏ x 17.06
    = 10,146 l/min
    Water flow rate for roof cooling = 12.20 x ∏ x 17.062/4
    = 2,787 l/min
    Available Pressure for sprinkler head at furthest end = System Pressure
    `- Elevational Pressure Drop
    `- Friction Pressure loss of the sytem
    Elevation pressur drop = 1.56 bar
    Hazan Williams Formula for Friction Loss Calculation
    Pm = 6.05 x Qm1.85 x 105
    C1.85 x dm4.87
    Pm Friction loss in bar/meter
    Qm Flow rate in lpm
    C Friction loss coefficient
    dm Diameter in mm
    Friction loss per meter of riser line
    Assume riser pipe diamiter is 150 mm
    Pm = 6.05 x (10146+2487)1.85 x 105
    1201.85 x 1504.87
    = 0.09
    Friction loss per meter of shell branch line
    Assume branch pipe diameter is 100 mm
    Pm = 6.05 x (10146/2)1.85 x 105
    1201.85 x 1004.87
    = 0.11 bar/m

    Friction pressure drop of the branch line = Friction loss per meter
    x Distance to furthest end sprinkler
    = 0.11x ∏ x D/2
    = 3.01 bar
    Maximum possible friction head loss of riser line = 0.09x15.53
    = 1.37 bar
    Pressure of sprinkler head at furthest end = 8.00 - 1.56-3.01-1.37
    = 2.07 bar
    Flow rate of sprnkler = K factor x Prassure1/2
    = 100.08 x 2.070.5
    = 144 l/min
    No. of sprinklers for shell cooling = Water flow rate for shell cooling
    Flow rate of sprinkler
    = `10,146/144
    = 70 Nos.
    Shell Sprinkler spacing = ∏D/70
    = 0.76 m

    As per the spray pattern of MV57 sprinkler nozzle of sprinkler catalog, recommanded to locate sprinklere
