# Industrial Specification: CIP Spray System

## 1. Technical Definition
A spray system integrated within the Automated Wort Clarification Separator for automated cleaning-in-place (CIP) operations.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **2.5-6.0 bar at 75-85°C with 1.5-3.0% caustic solution concentration**. Failure boundary: **Pressure drop below 1.8 bar or temperature exceeding 95°C, causing insufficient cleaning fluid velocity (&lt;2.0 m/s) or chemical degradation**, Mechanism: **Cavitation-induced erosion at pump impeller due to NPSH margin violation (&lt;0.5 m) or thermal stress cracking in 316L stainless steel nozzles from repeated 20-85°C thermal cycling exceeding yield strength (290 MPa)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Darcy-Weisbach Pressure Drop**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\Delta P = f \cdot \frac{L}{D} \cdot \frac{\rho v^2}{2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Critical for sizing CIP (Clean-In-Place) pump heads.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| f | Friction Factor | Engineering Constant |
| L | Pipe Length | Engineering Constant |
| v | Velocity | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Caustic solution crystallization at spray nozzles due to temperature drop below 60°C during standby | 8 | Nozzle blockage causing 40% reduction in spray coverage area and localized biofilm accumulation | Integrated trace heating maintaining nozzle temperature at 65°C minimum with PID control (±2°C) |
| Corrosion fatigue in 316L stainless steel supply lines from chloride stress corrosion cracking at &gt;50 ppm Cl⁻ concentration | 8 | Micro-crack propagation leading to pinhole leaks at 15-25% of yield strength cyclic loading | Duplex stainless steel (UNS S32205) replacement with &lt;25 ppm Cl⁻ process fluid specification |
