condenser water piping sizing
(OP)
please can anyone tell me the recommended pressure loss and water velocities for sizing condenser piping when the flow rate is 3 gpm per ton?

- You typically want to go with a faster velocity as it helps to keep any air from collecting together and forming air bubbles that can cause trouble with pumps and high points.
- The faster the water flow the less likely you are to have dirt come out of solution and deposit on the pipe, chiller tubes, coils, etc....
- I usually try to stay between 2.5'/100' loss and 4'
