Setting of the size of the circulating water pool
Thread Content
It is known that the daily water circulation volume is 3828 m3/day, which is equivalent to 159.5 m3/h. What size circulation tank would be sufficient? Which standard? Please give your advice
We have a 1,000-cubic-meter chilled water tower and a 100-cubic-meter above-ground tank here. Multiple sets are operating normally. For a small cooling tower like yours, you just need the complete set of equipment along with a pump; no tank is required.
The flow rate for 5 minutes is pretty much the same!
Based on the hourly flow rate you provided, a circulation tank with a capacity of up to 60 cubic meters should be sufficient. According to the specifications in GB50050, and based on statistics from engineering design data, the water volume of a circulating water system is generally less than 1/3 of the hourly flow rate of the circulating cooling water. Practical operating experience from factories in China shows that this value is sufficient to ensure the safe operation of the system; for industries such as metallurgy, power generation, and oil refining, this requirement can be relaxed appropriately. For the specific calculation methods, reference can be made to the relevant requirements specified in GB 50050-2017 \"Code for Design of Industrial Circulating Cooling Water Systems\", GB 50648-2011 \"Code for Design of Circulating Cooling Water Systems in the Chemical Industry\", GBT 50102-2014 \"Code for Design of Industrial Circulating Water Cooling Systems\", and GBT 50746-2012 \"Code for Design of Circulating Water Systems in the Petrochemical Industry\".
Thank you for the reply, I’ve learned it! Thank you!
