Advice on designing a closed loop system
Advice on designing a closed loop system
(OP)
We will be designing a closed loop air circulation system employing a blower. Water is being injected at one point in the system. I have calculated P droops & blower sizing for open systems before. Would it be true that the procedure is the same (Blower needs to make up for P drop though conduit & fittings from outlet to intake?) Is there anything I mauy be missing here?

Don't know. What did you leave out of the question?

RE: Advice on designing a closed loop system
1. Is it reasonable to assume that the lowest and highest pressure points in the system are the intake & outlet of the blower?
2. How can I force any point in the loop to be at atmospheric pressure?

2. drill a hole in it.
