Calculation Of Pressure Vessel Size

Booster Pump Flow Rate 3.5 l/s & 44 m Head

Base On Flow Rate of 3.5 L/s & 44m Head According to Grundfos Pump

Q1Flow Rate ( Cut in ) 3.5 l/s ( 210 l/min)

Take Q2Flow Rate ( Cut Out ) 1 l/s ( 60 l/min)

P1 Pressure Head ( Cut in) 44 m Head ( 4.4 bar )

Take P2 Pressure Head ( Cut out) 54 m Head ( 5.4 bar )

No Of Start/Stop Per Hour 20 Start/Stop per hour

Number Of Pump 2 Pump ( Duty )

(Cut Out +1) - (Cut in +1)

Accpeptance Factor =
Abosolute Puressure (Cut Out +1)

(5.4+1) - (4.4+1)
Accpeptance Factor =
Abosolute Puressure (5.4+1)

Accpeptance Factor = 0.156

Cut in flow rate + Cut out flow rate

Mean Flow Rate =
2
210 + 60
Mean Flow Rate =
2
Mean Flow Rate = 135 L/min

Mean Time = 30 min (Note: Min 1 hr (60min) 50% of time pump running and 50% of time pressure vessel discharge)

So . Mean Time = 30 min

30 min
Mean Time Share By No of pump =
2
Mean Time Share By No of pump = 15 min

Mean Time Share By No of pumps x Mean Flow Rate

Effective Capacity of the Pressure Tank =
No Of Start/Stop Per Hour

15 min x 135 L/min

Effective Capacity of the Pressure Tank =
20 Start/Stop per hour

Effective Capacity of the Pressure Vessel = 101.25 L

Effective Capacity of the Pressure Vessel

Total Capacity of the Pressure Vessel =
Accpeptance Factor

101.25 L
Total Capacity of the Pressure Vessel =
0.156

Total Capacity of the Pressure Vessel = 649 L
