INSTALLATION DATA and SPECIFICATIONS

I. Type: Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

Brand: No Brand (Locally Fabricated)

Material: Carbon Steel

Dimension: 585mm x 6000mm

Weight of Heat Exchanger (per unit): 2,000 kg

Number of Unit: Two (2) units

Weight of Heat Exchanger, WH = 1,000 kg/m3 x 1.61m3 = 1,610 kg

Combined weight: 2 units x (2,000 kg + 1,610 kg) = 7,220 kg

II. Type: Carbon Steel Air Receiver Tank

Brand: No Brand (Locally Fabricated)

Material: Carbon Steel

Dimension: 510mm x 3000mm

Weight of Ammonia Air Receiver (per unit): 300kg

Number of Unit: Two (2) units

Weight of Ammonia, WA = 1,000 kg/m3 x 0.61m3 = 610kg

Combined weight: 2 units (300kg + 610kg) = 1,820 kg

 Combined Weight of the Machinery, Wm = 5,220kg + 1,820kg = 9,040kg

 Safe Soil Bearing Capacity, Sb = 12,225 kg/m2 (Assumed Safe Load)

as per Section 4.0/4.2.c.b.

 Specific Weight of Concrete Foundation, ϓ = 2,406 kg/m3

Note: Dimensions of Foundation are indicated in the Installation and Foundation Plan.

W = 2.0 m

L = 4.0 m

H = 0.25 m

 Area of foundation = 2 m x 4 m = 8 m2

 Volume of Foundation = 2 m x 4 m x 0.25 m = 2 m3

 Weight of the foundation, Wf

Wf = Vf x ϓcf

Wf = 2 m3 x 2,406 kg/m3

Wf = 4,812 kg

 Total Load on Soil (Weight), WT

WT = W f + W m

WT = 4,812 kg + 9,040 kg

WT = 13,852kg

 Actual Soil Bearing Capacity = 13,852 kg = 1,731.5 kg/m2

8m2
FACTOR OF SAFETY = = 7.06
12,225 kg/m2
1,731.5 kg/m2

Therefore, the Foundation is safe since the Factor of Safety > 5.0
