Recirculation (RAD) Flow Rate Range

Theoretical Low End Recycle (RAD) Flow Rate (gpm): 125.00 Listed at the left are
Low end gpm/sq.ft. hydraulic loading rate for selected DAFand 1.4259 the theoretical RAD
theoretical RAD combined (gpm/sq.ft.): flow rates.

If these numbers are

Theoretical High End Recycle (RAD) Flow Rate (gpm): 275.17 above 4, increase
1.9968 the selected DAF
High end gpm/sq.ft. hydraulic loading rate for the selected DAFand
model # until the
theoretical RAD combined (gpm/sq.ft.):
output (at the
desired recycle rate)
is less than or equal
to 4

CRITERIA: You must apply the following when sizing a DAF

Standard Solids Loading Rate: 1.5 lb/sq. ft./hr
Never use more than 4 gpm/sq.ft hydraulic loading rate for the DAF and RAD combined
Acceptable Lbs Air/Lbs Solids range = 0.015 - 0.040
We typically apply 100% of the low end RAD flow rate when BELOW - 3000 ppm
We typically apply 75% of the high end RAD flow rate when BETWEEN 3000 - 5000 ppm
We typically apply 100% of the high end RAD flow rate when ABOVE - 5000 ppm

Formulas:
Recirculation Flow Rate:
(Lbs Air/Lbs Solids) x (Solids Loading Rate/min) x Theoretical Air Release
Dimensions for (Solids Loading Rate/min): Lbs/min
Dimensions for Theoretical Air Release: 1000 gal/0.62 lbs. @ 75 psig and 68 degrees F
Low end (Lbs Air/Lbs Solids) = 0.015
High end (Lbs Air/Lbs Solids) = 0.040

Conversion Factors:
1,000 mg = 1 gr
453.59 gr = 1 lb.
3.785 l = 1 gal.
