1 Airflow for combustion


1.1 Airflow for combustion for main engines, qdp
qdp=
Pdp x mad

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.
= 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

2 Airflow for evacuation of heat emission


dp
2.1 Heat emission from main engines,
dp=
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).
dp= 180.0 * kW per set (with its standard service power of 6,005 kW).
dp= 180.0 kW x 2 sets = 360.0 kW
dg
2.2 Heat emission from main generators,
dg=
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.
dg= 40 kW per set (with its standard service power of 790 kW).
dg= 40 kW x 2 sets = 80 kW
2.3 Heat emission from Bulk Air Compressor elect motor, el
el= 132 kW x 2 sets x 0.08 *
el= 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= dp + dg )
- 0.4 ( qdp + qdg )
x c x Tdiff
= 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)
1.13 x 1.01 x 12.5

= ( 40.403 - 7.376 )
