FRESH AIR INTAKE AREA CALCULATION

GENSET MODEL : P550-3

Intake Opening Required

3
1) Combustion Air Flow Required = 35.8 m /min.

3
2) Radiator Cooling Airflow = 476.4 m /min.
3 3
Total Air Flow , Q1 = ( 1 + 2) = 512.2 m /min. = 8.54 m /sec.

Air Intake Velocity, V1 = 3 m/sec.

2
Opening Required for sufficient air intake = Q1/V1 = 2.85 m

Approximate Restriction offered by the Louver = 50 %

Therefore Actual Opening Required for Air Intake = 5.69 m2

Exhaust Opening Required

3 3
Radiator Cooling Airflow , Q2 = 476.4 m /min. = 7.94 m /sec.

Exhaust Velocity, V2 = 6 m/sec.

2
Opening Required for Radiator Exhaust = Q2/V2 = 1.32 m

Approximate Restriction offered by the Louver = 50 %

Therefore Actual Opening Required = 2.65 m2
