Abstract :
Our assignment consist of calculating the entire heating installation for the factory of UMSA. This installation will replace the present convection system. The name UMSA stands for "Utiles y Modeles Sociedad Anónima". Translated: tools and models anonymous society. The company produces primarily molds for the car industry. Clients are the big car manufacturers, like Daimler Chrysler, Volkswagen, Ford, Renault, Peugeot, Mazda, Opel en Toyota. All of the construction is performed by a wide range of cutting and drilling machinery. These machines are programmed on basis of a CAD drawing, made in the office.
We started our assignment with the calculation of the heat losses. The heating installation needs to be able to overcome these losses in the worst possible weather situation. So this value defines the whole installation. The next step was to calculate how much panels we needed, and to determine which model of the radiant panels was most suitable.
When this was done, we could start with the actual design of the installation. We chose to divide the factory into ten zones which can be heated separately. We made a division of 5 times 3 radiators, and 5 times 2. By doing this we used more piping, but we achieved a system that is easier to regulate. This is necessary is when the factory is not fully occupied.
After this we determined the material and the dimensions of the piping, and the valves needed for the regulation of the systems. These factors cause a pressure drop in the system. Therefore it is needed to calculate this pressure drop, and to choose a pump capable to withstand this.
The next step is to choose a boiler of the right power category, and the rest of the accessories like electronic control, expansion vessel and chimney.
The last thing to do was to draw all the technical plans of the installation.
