Thanks bimr. This is the formula I was looking for. Increase in flow with the reduction in the pressure loss is not going to be a problem as we are putting VFDs on the motors.
Thank you guys for your responses. Really appreciate it. Keep up the good work!
Thanks 1gibson for you reply.
I already tried to use that by converting the psi to ft. of head and calculate the horsepower for the reduction, but these are huge pumps I am talking about 200 hp each (3 pumps), 2500 gpm per pump. With the reduced head it does not fall in the pump operating...
Hi Everyone,
I want to estimate the cost of pressure loss across filters in a pumping system. These filters are located ahead of the heat exchangers in an open loop. Right now we are use 25 micron filters and I am suggesting that we do not need that much filtration for the cooling tower and...
