Based on outdoor air temperature and leaving water temperature of the evaporator (DESIGN CONDITIONS) from the table
“performances” extract Cooling Capacity (kWf) and Compressors Power Input (kWa).
Based on type and percentage of glycol extract CCPF, CCPA, CCQA, CCDP.
Then calculate.
Pf_brine=kWfxCCPF
Pass_CP_brine=kWaxCCPA
Then calculate brine ow rate of the evaporator:
Q_brine_evap[l/s]=CCQAx(Pf_brine[kW]*0.86/∆T_brine)/3.6
where ∆T_brine is the difference inlet-outlet evaporator water temperature:
∆T_brine=Twin_evap_brine-Twout_evap_brine
With this brine ow rate enter in abscissa on the water pressure drop of the evaporator then you have Dp_app.
Finally you can calculate the actual pressure drop of the brine on evaporator side:
Dp_evap_brine=CCDPxDp_app
