Water pump selection in Chiller Loop
Water pump selection in Chiller Loop
(OP)
Hello everyone, i am new to eng-tips.
I had a contractor select the water pumps that will be installed on a closed loop with a Yazaki hot water fired chiller and i think that the pump is to weak for the specifications of the chiller and for the resistance created by the elbows, valves, 3-way valve in the system. Can someone please give me a guide on how to calculate the head needed for the system in order for me to select the right pump?
Thank you in advance

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

As you ignore elevation in a closed loop system, don't be surprised if the answer is quote a small head loss. Your pump could easily boo good for the duty.
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
