Hi there
We must calculate water demand for the cooling rings of 3 x 1,000,000 liter diesel tanks
I need clarity on few aspects:
Shall application rate be applied to the complete surface of all the tanks or only the portion which would be exposed to radiation heat? could the cooling ring discharge to only certain segments of the tanks?

is 10.2 l/min.m² as per NFPA 15 the industry norm?
The water demand amount to a huge figure.
any advice or opinion would be appreciated.
