Fuel Oil System Design AI
AI design of fuel oil storage and distribution for generator and heating systems.
Definition
Fuel Oil System Design AI designs fuel oil storage and distribution systems for emergency generators and heating equipment. It sizes tanks, plans piping, and ensures compliance with fire codes and environmental regulations for safe fuel oil installations.
In Depth
Fuel oil systems serve emergency generators and boilers in buildings where natural gas is unavailable or where backup fuel is required by code. AI designs the storage tanks, transfer piping, day tanks, and fill connections, sizing each component for the required fuel capacity and flow rates while complying with NFPA 30 and the fire code requirements for flammable liquid storage.
The storage capacity calculation connects the emergency generator's fuel consumption rate to the required runtime — typically 96 hours for mission-critical facilities or 24 hours for standard standby generators. AI sizes the main storage tank, the day tank (if required), and the transfer pump to maintain uninterrupted fuel supply for the required duration.
