EXHAUST BACK PRESSURE CALCULATION

Project : University of sharjah teaching hospital Genset : Cummins 1650 KVA, STANDBY POWER GENSET DATA

Q (m3/min) = Exhaust gas flow (Dual outlet) Q (m /min) = Exhaust gas flow (single outlet) D (mm) = Diameter of pipe
T (DEG C) = Exhaust Stack Temp.

= Density of gas = Total length of pipe = 90 Deg Elbow = flexible fitting

Backpressure of pipe (kPa) =

Back pressure in pipe (kpa) - A Back pressure in elbow (kpa) - B Back pressure in flexible fitting (kpa) - C Back pressure in rain cap (kpa) - D Back pressure in muffler (kpa) - E Total back pressure in exhaust system in single outlet (kpa) (A+B+C+D) Maximum allowable back pressure in exhaust system 6.7 kpa (As per cummins engine data sheet)
