Engine Room Ventilation Airflow Calculation: 1 Airflow For Combustion 1.1 Airflow For Combustion For Main Engines, Q

This document provides calculations to determine the required airflow for engine room ventilation. It calculates airflow needs based on engine power output and heat emissions. The total required airflow is 212,015 m3/hr to account for combustion air, heat evacuation, and air compressor consumption. The engine room has two supply fans that can provide 220,000 m3/hr of airflow, meeting the calculated ventilation requirements.

ENGINE ROOM VENTILATION AIRFLOW CALCULATION

Base on the following data:


a Main Engine :6000 kw x 2 sets
b Main Generator : 790 kw x 2 sets
c Bulk Air Compressor elect motor : 132 kw x 2 sets
d Bulk Air Compressor air consumption : 27 m3/min x 2 sets
e Main Generator : 47 m3/hr x 2 sets

1 Airflow for combustion

1.1 Airflow for combustion for main engines, qdp


qdp= Pdp x mad
r
where Pdp is the service standard power of the main propulsion diesel engine(s) at
maximum continuous power output,in kilowatts;
mad is the air requirement for combustion for diesel engine(s),in kilograms per
kilowatts second; Where specific data for mad are not available, the following
values may be used for calculation:
mad= 0.0023kg/(kW.s) for 2-stroke engines,
0.002kg/(kW.s) for 4-stroke engine.
r = 1.13 kg/m3 (I.e. the density of air,at +35 oC,70 RH and 101.3 kPa).

qdp= 6000 x 2 sets x 0.002


1.13
= 21.24 m3/s

1.2 Airflow for combustion for main generator, qdg

qdg= 790 x 2 sets x 0.002


= 1.13
= 2.8 m3/s

1.3 Sum of airflow for combustion, qc

qc= ( qdp + qg ) m3/s


= (21.24 + 2.8) m3/s
= 24.04 m3/s
= 86,544 m3/hr

ENGINE ROOM VENTILATION AIRFLOW CALCULATION


2 Airflow for evacuation of heat emission

2.1 Heat emission from main engines, f dp


fdp= Pdp x hd
100
where Pdp is the service standard power of the main propulsion diesel engines) at
maximum continuous rating,in kilowatts;
hd is the heat loss from the diesel engine(s),in percentage.

Note : * - the data is provided by Wartsila (engine manufacturer).

fdp= 180.0 * kW per set (with its standard service power of 6,005 kW).
fdp= 180.0 kW x 2 sets = 360.0 kW

2.2 Heat emission from main generators, f dg


fdg= Pdg x hd
100
where Pdg is the service standard power of the diesel generator engine at
maximum continuous rating,in kilowatts;
hd is the heat loss from the diesel engine(s),in percentage.

Note : since the specific data are not available.

fdg= 40 kW per set (with its standard service power of 790 kW).
fdg= 40 kW x 2 sets = 80 kW

2.3 Heat emission from Bulk Air Compressor elect motor, f el


fel= 132 kW x 2 sets x 0.08 *
fel= 21.12 kW

Note :* - Assume heat emission from electric motor to be 8% of the motor rated power.

2.4 Airflow for evacuation of heat emission, qh


qh= ( fdp + fdg ) - 0.4 ( qdp + qdg )
r x c x Tdiff
r = 1.13 kg/m3 (i.e. the density of air,at +35 oC,70% RH and 101.3 kPa);

c = 1.01 kJ/(kg.K) (the specific heat capacity of the air);

Tdiff = 10 oC

qh= ( 360 + 80 + 21.12) - 0.4 ( 21.24 + 2.8 )


1.13 x 1.01 x 12.5
= ( 40.403 - 7.376 ) m3/s
= 33.027 m3/s
= 118,897 m3/hr

3 Total airflow, Qt
Air Compressor Consumption Airflow, m3/hr
I Bulk Air Compressor (2 sets) :1620m3/hr x 2 sets = 3240
ii Starting Air Compressor (2 sets) :47 m3/hr x 2 sets = 94
Dryers :1620m3/hr x 2 sets = 3240

Total q0 6574

Required air volume for engine room ventilation


Qt= qc + qh + q0
= ( 86,544 + 118,897 + 6,574) m3/hr
= 212,015 m3/hr

Note :There are two (2) nos of supply fans, each having airflow capacity of 110,000 m 3/hr
Total supply air is 220,000 m3/hr
