The design of a cooling water system

Cooling water installations are designed to cool an installation in the event of a nearby fire. This can be necessary if the contents of a tank or pressure vessel are likely to expand with heat. We can use BOSfluids to perform hydraulic calculations of steady state flows in a cooling water system that includes many deluge nozzles (sprinklers).

Firewater Deluge Layout Design

Dynaflow Research Group has performed the design and analysis for the firewater deluge layout of two large production modules of a floating production storage and offloading system (FPSO). The objective was to design a safe, efficient and code compliant system, providing complete spray coverage by monitors and sprinkler nozzles for all areas and equipment that […]
