CENTRAL CONDENSER WATER DRESSURE DROP

System Assumptions:
- All valves, regardless of type, are assumed to be in the full-open position.
- Losses for check valves apply to both swing-type and ball-type designs.
- Losses for angle valves and globe valves do not apply designs with needle-point seats.
- Losses for elbows apply to 90-degree "long" designs with a radius-to-diameter ratio approximating 1.5.
- Nominal diameters range from 3/8 inch (10mm) to 24 inches(600mm) for steel pipe.
- For pipe large than 600mm, use estimate value
- Assume all smooth fittings and 1FtWG/100Ft frictions rate: Equivalent length = physical length x 2
