1. VENTILATION SYSTEM CALCULATION

 
(ISO 8861: 1998: ENGINE-ROOM VENTILATION IN DIESEL-ENGINED SHIPS)

1 DESIGN CONDITIONS:

Shaft Alley Volume = 400 m3

Outside ambient air temperature = 35 °C

Temperature rise Maximum (∆T) = 12.5 °K

Density of air at 35 deg. C (ρ) = 1.13 Kg/m3

Specific heat of the air (c) = 1.01 KJ/(Kg.K)

Heat Emission from Equipment (4% of

2 Operating kW)

Emg. Fire Pump Motor, Φel1 = 10 KW

WW Pump Motor #1, Φel2 = 12 KW

WW Pump Motor #2, Φel3 = 12 KW

WW Pump Motor #3, Φel4 = 12 KW

WW VFD #1, Φel5 = 12 KW

WW VFD #2,Φel6 = 12 KW

WW VFD #3,Φel7 = 12 KW

3 AIRFLOW CALCULATION:

3.1 AIRFLOW FOR EVACUATION OF HEAT EMISSION (Qh):

Considering worst case scenario that all above equipment are running simultaneously;

Qh = Φel1 + Φel2+Φel3+Φel4+Φel5+Φel6+Φel7
ρ × c × ∆T

Qh = 5.75 m3/s

HENCE,

TOTAL AIRFLOW REQUIRED = 5.75 m3/s

TO EVACUATE HEAT EMISSION = 20,700 m3/hr.
FROM EQUIPMENT = 12,184 CFM

Air changes per hour available for the = 51.75 ACPH
