c) Power requirement

Q dw H / 4,500,000 ( ) where: Q = 2,208 l/min (liters/min) dw = 943 kg/cu.m H = 204.5 m = 0.90 (motor efficiency)

2,208 x 943 x 204.5 Power requirement = 4,500,000 x 0.9 x 0.70 = 150 Hp, say 200 Hp Hp

d) But the actual pump rating is: GPM (Boiler rating) GPM (Installed capacity) Rated head RPM Hp (Turbine driven) HP (Electric motor) 400 472 878 ft 3,600 190 250

Single stage Worthington, single suction with auto leak off non return valve at the discharge.

Therefore the existing pump is ok for the upgraded boiler.
