1.12 Design the pipe diameter
Items to check Is it proper to design the pipe diameter? Result
Purpose Check water velocity and pressure drop
Applicants Common
An easy method for selecting the piping diameter is as follows.
- Method by water Velocity (0.3 m/s ~ 3 m/s)
- Method by Pressure drop (40 kPa/m ~ 100 kPa/m)
1. Method by water Velocity (0.3 m/s ~ 3 m/s)
˟ Pipe dia
˞ Velocity
˝ Water flow

Ex) 16 kW Therma V
① Rated water ow rate : 46 lpm
(Δ 5 °C)
② Velocity 1 ~ 1.5 m/s
Select the pipe in the ow velocity
range based on the y-axis ow
line
Result : 25 A or 32 A (Pipe spec)
Remark)
If select 32 A :
1) High material cost
2) Difcult to make layout
If select 20 A :
1) High Pressure drop by high
velocity
2) Noise

Result : 25 A or 32 A (Pipe spec)
Remark)
If select 32 A :
1) High material cost
2) Difcult to make layout
If select 25 A :
1) Higher pressure drop than 32 A
2) Cost-effective
