Coil Flow and Pressure Drop

Hi Sharad,

Makes sense that eQUEST takes into account heat losses through piping and
I'm assuming also eQUEST takes into account losses across any heat
exchanger via coils.

I am also curious how eQUEST calculates the PD across coils at different
flow rates - any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks
Darryl

Hi Darryl,

As per fluid dynamics the pressure is somewhat related to the flow rate.
One need to know the proper equation whether it is directly proportional to
square or in some cubic form equation.

I don't have time to get the answer.

Thanks,

Sharad.
