Calculation method for continuous flow
Thread Content
I’m seeking advice from experts. As the title suggests, our factory currently uses continuous flowing water as a method for anti-freezing. Is there any way to calculate this flow rate without using flow meters or other measuring devices? Thank you
The upstairs area might be in the south; they haven’t been exposed to antifreeze, have they? I still can’t see the content clearly; it seems to be about calculating water flow rate, and it has nothing to do with energy. Thank you.
Same request – projects in the north need to be frost-resistant; previously, we only worked on projects in the south
There must be a large bucket available; with that, the volume can be determined, and then the time it takes to fill the bucket can be calculated by accounting for the water drainage
With no other choice, this method was adopted. It’s just that many of the pipes are too low and their ends are in awkward positions, making it impossible to connect them.
I don’t understand how it’s possible to measure the water volume without using a flow meter or other measuring instruments. If there is a main meter, it’s possible to compare the total amount of water per hour during normal operating conditions, in the absence of anti-freezing measures, with the corresponding figure during periods when anti-freezing measures are in use.
There is a summary table; the usage amount is in the tens of thousands of cubic meters, and the error is too large. With a slight change in temperature, thousands of cubic meters of circulating water can evaporate. Moreover, with over 200 regular scheduling points across the entire plant, it’s not possible to know each specific value. It’s the lack of a flow meter that’s a problem.
As a rough estimate, try calculating it using the pipe diameter
How can one roughly calculate it using the pipe diameter? Find the formula.
Use a measuring cylinder to determine how long it takes for it to fill up, and then calculate the flow rate by using one hour as the basis
