Based on DESIGN CONDITIONS from the table “performances” extract Heating Capacity (kWt
r
).
Based on type and percentage of glycol extract CCPT, CCQA, CCDP.
Then calculate.
Pt_brine=kWt
r
xCCPT
Pass_CP_brine=kWaxCCPA
Then calculate brine ow rate to the heat recovery exchanger:
Q_brine[l/s]=CCQAx(Pt_brine[kW]*0.86/∆T_brine)/3.6
where ∆T_brine is the temperature difference outlet-intlet heat recovery exchanger:
∆T_brine=Twout_brine-Twin_brine
With this brine ow rate enter in abscissa on the water pressure drop of the heat recovery then you have Dp_app.
Finally you can calculate the actual pressure drop of the brine on heat recovery:
Dp_brine=CCDPxDp_app
