DCPRO reply on February 13, 2017

The nozzle head is wrongly referenced in the report.

The attachment highlights the maximum sprayer pressure which is 49 kPa and
not the nozzle pressure drop. The reference to the nozzle pressure drop should be
omitted from the hydraulic report.

Suction diffuser selection was not provided by Takyeef. We assumed a

conservative pressure drop of 1m based on the attached selection which shows
the pressure drop 11500 GPM flow through a 24”x24” suction diffuser as 1.1 psi
(approx. 0.75m).
 The pressure drop calculated by Takyeef for the pipes, fittings and accessory
losses seems exaggerated. We used a hydraulic analysis software to model the
condenser pump circuit where all the pipe diameters, lengths, and minor losses
are matching the design drawings.

Please note that the total pumping head (static head + nozzle pressure drop)
required for the cooling tower in Hamon selection received from Takyeef on
2016-11-28 (attached for reference) for the same project is 6.5 m.
Since the technical selection for Kelvion was not provided, we made an
assumption by modeling the cooling tower with a pressure drop of 8.5 m which
is conservative considering the cooling tower height and flow rate required.
Larger cooling towers in previous projects even had total pressure drops less
than 8.5 m.

Takyeef are applying the 10% safety margin to the overall pump head.
It should only be applied to the pipes, fittings, and accessory loss, but not to
equipment such as chillers and cooling towers.

Air separator selection was not provided by Takyeef.

We assumed a conservative pressure drop of 3m based on the attached selection
(highlighted with a red rectangle)

We are considering 2 m for the pressure drop inside the TES tank.
We consider 1 m pressure drop on the lower diffuser connection and another 1 m on
the upper diffuser connection.

The pressure drop calculated by Takyeef for the pipes,

fittings and accessory losses seems exaggerated.

technical selection for Kelvion was provided to DCPRO

since DCPRO attached to calculation report

referring cooling tower selection , 49 KPA is required sprayer pressure ,

therefore 5m head must add to total head .

DCPRO pressure drop selection based on clear basket .

1- pipes, fittings and accessory losses based on DD design .

2- no detail data from software provide by DCPRO .
3-last report received from DC from dated on February 13, 2017 don’t show
