Blower Calculation

This document calculates the ventilation needs for a storage tank with a diameter of 120 feet and roof height of 7 feet, giving an enclosed volume of 79,200 cubic feet. It determines that 2 fans supplying 3,300 CFM each are needed to supply the 396,000 CFM required per hour according to API standards. A 20-inch blower can supply 11,000 CFM at 80 PSI and a 24-inch blower can supply 16,900 CFM, both of which meet the ventilation needs safely. It is recommended to install the larger 24-inch blower if space allows.

CFM can be supplied by 20" blower @ 80 PSI 11000

CFM can be supplied by 24" blower @ 80 PSI 16900

Notes

1 Meter = 3.28 Feet

SCFM = Standard Cubic Feet per minute

Result

Is the Ventilation Safe enough acc to API cons. 20" SAFE


Is the Ventilation Safe enough acc to API cons. 24" SAFE

Recommendation can be made to install 24" Blower if 20" blower is unsafe


provided man Way of 24" is avaiable.
