Chilled Water System Flow Calculations

The document outlines calculations for flow rates in a chilled water system, using formulas to determine GPM based on temperature differences and tonnage. It specifies conditions for pipe sizes, including velocity and head loss considerations. Additionally, it provides capacity values for various pipe sizes and their corresponding GPM rates.

Flow M = lb/hr

Q = M Cp dT

Tr x 12000 = GPM x 500 x 1 x dT

Tr x 24 = GPM x dT

GPM = Tr x 24 / dT

dT = CWR - CWS

dT = 55 - 45 = 10F

GPM = Tr x 24 / 10

GPM = TR x 2.4

If Pipe Size < 2" = 4 FPS Vel

If Pipe Size > 2" = 4ft/100' Head Loss

Closed Piping = Chilled Water System GPM = Tr x 2.4

Draw Line on Vel - 4ps - Chk Pipe Size if less then 2" then OK

OR if >2" then draw another line of Friction - 4ft/100'
