Theoretical Water Demand Calculations for ICT Transformer

A. Transformer absorbing surface are ( side and top) = 140.94 m square

B. Transformer non absorbing surface ( ground) = 27.52 m square
C. Water required for absorbing area = 140.94 * 10.2 = 1437.588 lpm
D. Water required for non absorbing area = 27.52 * 6.1 = 167.872 lpm
E. Total water required = 1437.588 + 167.872 =
1605.46 lpm
Actual water required based on hydraulic calculation =
