Water Pressure Drop Tables

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

A recirculation pump is required for flows greater than the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

maximum or less than the minimum indicated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

Process flow less than or greater than the flow rates shown below

 

 

 

 

 

 

requires a recirculation pump.

Note: These pressure drop values are valid for single- and no-pump portable chillers.

Calculating Chiller Nominal Flow and Pressure to Process

Flow rate: Obtain the flow reading from the appropriate pump curve.

Pressure: Obtain a corresponding pressure reading from the pump curve you selected, then subtract the one-pump pressure drop listed in the above table using the appropriate chiller hp and flow rate.

For two-pump (Process/Recirc) chillers, do not subtract pressure drop from table above for process pump.
