Chilled Water Pump Calculations

This document calculates the capacity and head requirements for pumps in a plant water system. It determines that the total water consumption is 5.0 m3/hr, so each of the two pumps needs a capacity of 5.0 m3/hr. Through calculations considering pipe sizes, lengths, fittings and pressure losses, it determines that the pump head required is 25 meters of water column. The results are that two pumps are needed at each substation, with a capacity of 5.0 m3/hr and a head of 25 meters of water column.

Calculations For Plant Water System Pumps

1.0 Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this calculation is to calculate the capacity and head of Plant water
system pumps

2.0 Design Input

2.1 Plant water - Consumption Details

Capacity of each Overhead Tank one located at the roof of GIS Building & another at
the roof of Control and Relay Building = 2.5 m3/hr

Total Plant water consumption is = 2 x 2.5


=5.0 m3/hr

3.0 Methodology and Acceptance Criteria

The Plant water pump capacity is selected based upon the Plant water requirements and
head is selected based upon the head loss through the system.

4.0 Calculations

4.1 Pump capacity calculation

From Clause 2.1 above, Total Plant water consumption is = 2 x 2.5


=5.0 m3/hr

Hence, capacity of pump selected = 5.0 m3/hr


No. of Pumps = 2 ( 1W + 1S)

4.2 Pump head calculation

 D2 x 3600 Q is flow rate in m3/hr
D is pipe I.D in meters

4x5

 x 0.0532 x 3600

= 0.63 m/sec

C is co-efficient of friction = 120
1.852
0.63 1
HL (s) = 6.815 x 120 x 0.053 1.167

= 0.013 mwc/m length of pipe

For a pipe length of 5 meters HL(s) = 0.06 mwc

ii. Head Loss due to Fittings

Where,
HL (f) is frictional head loss
in pipe in mwc / metre
V is velocity in m/sec.
g is Acc. due to gravity = 9.81m/sec2
K is resistance coefficient

Fittings

Gate Valve - 1 No. K = 0.152

Strainer - 1 No. K = 2.5

Entry - 1 No. K = 0.5

Total K = 3.152

KV2
HL(f) = 2g

3.152 x (0.63)2
= 2 x 9.81

HL(f) = 0.064 mwc


iii. Total Pressure Drop = (HL(S) + HL(f))

= 0.06 + 0.064
= 0.124 mwc

4.2.2 Head loss in discharge pipeline for DN 50

Pump discharge head = Pump suction head + Pump suction pipe losses + Discharge pipe
