Flow calculations regarding vacuum system
Flow calculations regarding vacuum system
(OP)
I have been tasked to generate a shipboard central vacuuming system proposal. I have come up with piping arrangements and have vendor specifications regarding their vacuum units, however I am looking for technical literature/guidance in calculating flow losses in a vacuum system. I would appreciate direction in this subject.

HL = k(VH)
Depending on your units, the headloss (in the US) is typically expressed first in feet of line fluid, then converted to PSI or inches of water, mercury, etc.
