Dear all,
I would like to know, when to use expansion loop for chilled water pipework??
thank you very much

RE: chilled water pipework expansion loop
1. What material is the pipe constructed from.
2. What is the operating temperature difference.
3. What is the length of the pipe.
For example, a mild steel pipe containing chilled water with an operating teperature difference of 25 K and a pipe length of 75 m gives,
coeff. of expansion of mild steel @ 25 K delta T = 0.284 mm/m
expansion of pipe is (0.284 x 75) = 21.3 mm
I hope this helps.
