Estimation of Dust Suppression System Wi

This document estimates the water flow and pressure requirements for a dust suppression system using two nozzles with an opening angle of 65 degrees operating at 150 psi. The total water flow is calculated to be 6.98 gpm. Factoring in pipe friction losses, elbow fittings, and the height of the nozzles above the pump, the required pump pressure is estimated to be 57.4 psi. Offset and matrix nozzle configurations are discussed to ensure accurate overlapping spray coverage. Tank capacity requirements are provided for various operating hours per day.

• The spray angle is = 65 ⁰ • The spray angle is = 65 ⁰
• Flow (Q1 40 psi = 1.9 gpm • Flow (Q1 3 bar = 7.2 lpm
• Pressure (P1) = 40 psi • Pressure (P1) = 3 bar
• Pressure (P2) = 150 psi • Pressure (P2) = 10 bar
Solving for Q2 = 3.5 gpm Solving for Q2 = 13.2 lpm

3.49 gpm 13.21 lpm

Calculate Total Water Flow & Pressure at Pump for Nozzles Operating at 40 psi 2.76 bar
Q2 = Flow 3.49 gpm 13.2 lpm
Nozzle = 2 pcs

ρ = density of fluid fresh water 62.4 lbs/ft³ 999.6 Kg/m³


h = height of nozzle above pump (-negatif if the nozzle is below the pump) 40 ft 12.2 m
l = Length of pipe 10 ft
Pipe = 2.5 inch ( Schedule 40 Standard Steel Pipe ) 63.5 mm
Friction Pipe 0.04 psi @ 6.98 gpm ( See Table Friction Loss )
Elbow 90⁰ 7 ft ( See Table Pressure Loss )

Total Flow = Qn x Nozzle = 6.98 gpm 26.4 lpm

PIPE LOSSES
Pipe Friction = (L/100)*friction pipe = 0.02 psi 0.0014 bar

Fitting loss = (L/elbow)(2 elbow) = 0.01 psi 0.0004 bar 0.003 bar
0.006
Elevation losses = (ρ.h) /144 = 17.3 psi 1.20 bar

PUMP PRESSURE
P pump = P nozzle + P pipe losses + (ρ.h/144) 57.4 psi 3.95 bar
