Pipe Flow 3D Solve The Cooling Water Network help

Pipe Flow 3D Solve The Cooling Water Network help

(OP)
Dear Sir/Madam
 
I have created a simpe Excel tool (hardy cross method) to calcuate the water distribution through a network.
But, our project is required to develop a cooling water network with seven coolers(supply and return pressure, delta P / elevation of each cooler and pipe rack) has been given, and boost pump may be required to be used if the pressue head of the end user is not sufficient .

It's quite complicated, and seems can't be used this simple excel progam to work out.
 
I tried to use pipe flow 3D progamto give it a try and I wonder any pro got any pipe flow 3D tutorail or better sugeestion for this case.

Thank you very much.
 

RE: Pipe Flow 3D Solve The Cooling Water Network help

I've never heard of Pipeflow 3D, but I just saw this comment about it.  "Pipe Flow 3D is a professional tool that calculates pressure losses in single supply pipe work systems where the flows are already known."  

If flows were already known, I don't understand why I would need that program.

You might want to try EPAnet, widely used for large scale water distribution networks, but I don't know how well it works for, or how convenient it would be to use it for small scale pipe networks you find in equipment water supply.
