Section A – Steam & Refrigeration Q1 a) Compare and contrast the construction and operating characteristics of a Fire Tube Boiler
with those of a Water Tube Boiler. [5 marks] b) Why is boiler feed water pre-treatment necessary? [5 marks] c) Why does TDS build up inside a steam boiler? What negative effects can high TDS have on boiler operation? How are TDS levels controlled within a steam boiler? [5 marks]
d) Steam is generated at 10 Bar g pressure inside the boiler house. A new process 65m from the boiler house required 5000 kg/h at a minimum supply pressure of 9.0 bar g. Using the steam pipe sizing chart provided suggest the most suitable pipe diameter and calculate the actual pressure available at the point of use. NB design for a maximum pressure drop of 0.1 Bar / 100m.
Q2 a). Describe with the aid of a neat sketch a typical refrigeration circuit. Label the four major components. Indicate relative pressures and liquid / gas phases after each of the four major components.
[6 marks] b) Where does flash gas occur and how does it effect the fridge cycle? [4 marks] c) Draw a neat labelled sketch of a Split Unit air conditioning system, capable of heating and
cooling the air conditioned space, when it is operating in cooling mode. [6 marks] d) Give a brief explanation of each of the following terms in relation to a cooling tower.
Section B – Pipe work systems. Q3 The following diagram shows a reactor vessel working under vacuum.
Determine if the pump shown will cavitate under the operating conditions shown. [20 marks]

Q4 A Cleaning In Place (CIP) pipe work system is shown on the next page. Pump and pipe work sizing required for transfer of 90000 l/h of water at 75 Deg C to one of
three points on T1003, T2002 or T3007. Only one route enable at any one time. Use CIBSE Charts for steel pipe and fittings. Use all welded joints.

a) Estimate which route will be the index run.
Without completing detailed calculations use the combined pressured drops associated with straight pipe, fittings, static head and residual head to estimate which run will be the index run. [6 marks]
b) Establish the pipe diameter, ∆pl and le for the index run. [4 marks] c) Specify overall flow and pressure requirements for the pump. [8 marks] d) Select a suitable pump from the Lowara pump data sheet attached. [2 marks] 3 CIBSE Table C4.36. -Velocity press loss factors.
