(2 x 89.358 MW)

DESIGN BASIS FOR HIGH VELOCITY SPRAY SYSTEM

• Applicable standard : NFPA 15/TAC

• Water application rate : 10.2 lpm/m2

• No. of Nozzles required : 20 Nos.

• Minimum Pressure at Nozzle : 3.5 Kg/cm2

• K – Factor of Nozzle : 23

• Minimum Flow / Nozzle : 43.03 lpm

• Water Requirement : 20 * 43.03 = 860.59 lpm

• 10 % Margin Considered : 86 lpm

• Total Water Requirement : 860.59 + 86 = 946.59 lpm
