SFI - Water Pump Calculation

The document provides water pump sizing calculations for 3 factories of a 1,825.48kWp solar rooftop project. The calculations determine: 1) A flow rate of 5.5 GPM is required for the water pump based on using 2 water points at 10 liters per minute each. 2) The water head pressures required are 35 PSIG for Factory 2, 50 PSIG for Factory 4, and 35 PSIG for Factory 3 based on static head, pipe friction losses, and hose bibb pressure.

SUMMARY REPORT

Water Pump Calculation

Owner: SEAFRESH INDUSTRY PUBLIC CO.M LTD.

Project: SEAFRESH Solar Rooftop 1,825.48kWp.

Date: 22-Feb-21
The purpose of this calculation is to verify the sizing of water pump for module cleaning
system with the proper flow rate and pressure of water pump for SEAFRESH Solar
