Back - Pressure Calculation for Greaves Powered D. G.

Set
Max. Backpressure 520.00 mm WC
Engine Model D3V6TAG21 5099.64 Pa
kVa Rating 250 5.10 kPa
51.00 mBar
1.51 in Hg
The following formula is used to calculate the Back Pressure of the Exhaust System

Back Pressure P = CLRQ²/D⁵

Where,
P Back Pressure in inces of Mercury
C Conversion Factor to be considered as;
0.00059 For Engine Combustion Air flow of 100 to 400 CFM
0.00056 For Engine Combustion Air flow of 400 to 700 CFM
0.00049 For Engine Combustion Air flow of 700 to 2000 CFM 25.42 cum/min = 913.5 cfm
0.00044 For Engine Combustion Air flow of 2000 to 6000 CFM
L Length of Exhaust Pipe in Feet
Note: For 45 Degree Bends,
Equivalent Length L1 = 0.75 x Diameter of Pipe in Inches

For 90 Degree Bends,

Equivalent Length L2 = 1.33 x Diameter of Pipe in Inches
R Exhaust Density in Pounds Per Cubic Feet = 41.1/(Exhaust Temp. in Deg. F + 460 Deg. F)
Q Exhaust Gas Flow in Cubic Feet Per Minute
D Inside Diameter of Exhaust Pipe in Inches

Data
P To Be Calculated
C Conversion Factor for Combustion Air Flow
Here,
Combustion Air Flow is = 25.42 Cu. M/Min
= 913.52 CFM
= 0.00049
L Total Length of Exhaust Piping in Feet
Level 1 From Engine to Exhaust Silencer
Exhaust Piping = 870.00 mm
34.25 inches
2.85 Feet
R Exhaust Density in Pounds Per Cubic Feet
For Exhuast Density, exhaust temperature is required = 550.00 Deg. C
Converting Deg. C to Deg. F = 926.00 Deg. F
= 41.1/(Exhaust Temp. in Deg. F + 460 Deg. F) 0.03 lbs/Cu. Ft.
D Diameter of Exhaust Pipe in inches = 130.00 mm.
Q Exhaust Gas Flow in Cubic Feet Per Minute = 157.50 Cu. M/Min
= 5660.08 CFM
Therefore, 5.12 inches
Back Pressure of Level 1 = P = CLRQ²/D⁵ 0.38 in Hg
But,
Flexible Connections are also used
Therefore,
Total Exhaust Back Pressure is 1.5 Times of Actual = 0.57 in Hg
Level 2 Exhaust Silencer
Exhaust Silencer has its own backpressure = 3.00 kPa
Level 3 From Exhaust Silencer to Exhaust Outlet 30.00 mBar
0.89 in Hg
Data
P To Be Calculated
C Conversion Factor for Combustion Air Flow
Here,
Combustion Air Flow is = 25.42 Cu. M/Min
= 913.52 CFM
= 0.00049
L Total Length of Exhaust Piping in Feet
Exhaust Piping = From Silencer to Exhaust Outlet 65000.00 mm
2559.06 inches
213.25 Feet
No. of 90 Deg. Bends 2.00 Nos.
Equivalent Length L1 = 1.33 x Diameter of Pipe in Inches
Diameter of Pipe 350.00 mm.
13.78 inches
18.33 inches
Final Equivalent Length L1 36.65 inches
3.05 Feet
Total Length of Piping = Equivalent Length+ Straight Length 216.31 Feet
R Exhaust Density in Pounds Per Cubic Feet
For Exhuast Density, exhaust temperature is required = 550.00 Deg. C
Converting Deg. C to Deg. F = 926.00 Deg. F
= 41.1/(Exhaust Temp. in Deg. F + 460 Deg. F) 0.03 lbs/Cu. Ft.
D Diameter of Exhaust Pipe in inches = 350.00 mm.
Q Exhaust Gas Flow in Cubic Feet Per Minute = 157.50 Cu. M/Min
= 5660.08 CFM
Therefore, 13.78 inches
Back Pressure of Level 3 = P = CLRQ²/D⁵ 0.20 in Hg
Total Backpressure on the system = BP Level1+BP Level2+ BP Level3 1.47 in Hg
Whereas Maximum Allowable Backpressure = 1.51 in Hg
