4.2.1.3 Determining the compressed air and water requirements
Compressed air requirements
The compressed air consumption of a system depends on the number of atomisers.
BS5:
30 Nl/min
BS10: 60 Nl/min
Related to the example and using the following values:
Area 1 = 660 Nl/min
Area 2 = 120 Nl/min
The result is an air volume of 780 Nl/min
NOTE:
In order to ensure a trouble-free operation, the compressed air system ought to deliver 1.2 times
the air volume that has been calculated.
Water requirements
The water consumption of a system depends on the number of atomisers.
BS5
5 l/h (11 lbs/h)
BS10 10l/h (22 lbs/h)
Related to the example and using the following values:
Area 1 = 110 l/h (243 lbs/h)
Area 2 = 20 l/h (44 lbs/h)
The result is an air volume of 130 l/h (287 lbs/h).
NOTE:
In order to ensure a trouble-free operation, the water system ought to deliver 1.2 times the maximum
water volume that has been calculated.
