Design Calculation for 63 MVA G.T Transformer

A. Deluge valve calculation for Generator Transformer

The Calculation for water requirement of Generator Transformer is carried out based on
Clause No.3.2 of TAC Publication of "Rules for water spray system"-System Design of
Transformer Protection
Design Standard:-TAC Rules for Watre Spray System
Sizes
1.Transformer Body
L= 6 m
W= 3 m
H= 4.5 m

2.Radiator (13 Nos)

L= 0.2 m
W= 0.4 m
H= 3 m
No.of Radiator= 13 No.

3. Conservator Tank
D= 1 m
L= 3 m

Surface area of the body

= 2{(LxW)+(WxH)+(HxL)}
= 117 Sq.m

Surface area of the radiator

= 2{(LxW)+(WxH)+(HxL)}xNo.of radiator
48.88 Sq.m

Surface area of Conservator Tank

= 2(πxD2/4)+(πxDxL)
= 10.99079633 Sq.m

Total Surface Area for the Transformer

= 176.87 Sq.m
Misc. area to be protected 10% considered = 17.69 Sq.m
Total surface area to be protected= 194.56 Sq.m
25 % for wastage & misdirection = 48.64
Total surface area to be protected= 243.20
Total water required @ 10.2 LPM/M2 = 2480.61 LPM
= 148.84 m3/hr

Deluge Valve proposed is 100mm dia having flow rate of 50 to 225 m3/hr (833.33 to 3750
LPM)
B.Sizing of Gravity Tank:
Requirement I :

As per Clause No. 7.4.1.4.6 of TAC Fire Protection manual -"Where transformer are protected
by high velocity water spray system tapped from hydrant system,water requirement of the
spray system worked out as above shall then be loaded by 1750 LPM (105 Cum/Hr) for
supplementry hose stream protection.If the total water requirement for spray protection and
hose stream protection worked out as above exceeds the requirements of the hydrant service
as per Table 2, the pumping capacity shall be equivalent to the former."
The total water requirement shall be as per TAC clause
Water requirement of the spray system (Larget deluge valve) : 148.8368 m3/hr
As per TAC Supplementry hose stream protection : 105 m3/hr
Total water requirement for the fire fighting system : 253.8368 m3/hr

As per TAC the capacity of static storage /Gravity tank for light hazard occupancies shall not
be less than the aggregate pumping capacity.
Size of Gravity Tank : 253.8367751 m3

Requirement II :
As Per Clause No.3.2.2 of TAC Manual (Rules for water spray system) the effective exclusive
capacity of the reservoir / tank shall not be less than 40 minutes run for aggregate pumping
capacity for the spray system.
Min water required for the for spray system for 40 min : = 99.22452 m3
As per TAC Supplementry hose stream protection : = 70 m3
Total water requirement = 169.2245 m3
As per TAC the capacity of static storage /Gravity tank for light hazard occupancies shall not
be less than the aggregate pumping capacity.
Size of Gravity Tank : 169.2245167 m3
