    This document provides instructions for selecting the water pump horsepower for a water-cooled packaged unit. It describes calculating the total head of 61 feet by adding the pipe length pressure drop of 25.2 feet, the unbalanced head at the cooling tower of 10 feet, and the unit pressure drop of 25.41 feet. It then shows using the water flow rate of 150 USGPM and total head of 67 feet to determine the brake horsepower of 2.59 HP. Rounding up to the next standard motor size gives a recommended water pump motor of 4 HP or 3 kW.
