Version 4 of the Bell & Gossett System Syzer® program for PC computers is available. It is an update of a tool for calculating flow rates and pressure drops in HVAC piping systems. The program ...

The latest Uniform Plumbing Code introduces modern tools like the Peak Water Demand Calculator to right-size water pipes, cutting costs and boosting efficiency. By aligning design flow rates with ...

Once pulverized coal flows have been measured, they can be balanced and optimized. Until then, tuning is simply guesswork. The right way to balance furnace fuel flows is to establish solid baseline ...

Across many industrial and academic applications, it’s necessary to accurately measure liquid flow. Depending on the application, accurate measurements can be the difference between making a profit or ...

Bypass pipes, accompanied by a three-way control valve, are often seen in hydronic systems at both served loads (e.g., reheat coils) as well as at primary equipment (e.g., cooling towers). Reasons for ...

Higher flow velocities lead to better water quality by increasing residual disinfectants and reducing microbial activity and nitrification Smaller diameter pipes (3/8") benefit most from high flow ...

THE PIPING configurations in modern hot water systems may seem much different than those of the past. Indeed, I have heard people say that the newer hot water systems are more difficult to diagnose ...

Flow reversal in piping systems can degrade equipment performance and cause significant water hammer, potentially resulting in catastrophic failure. Power plant condenser cooling water systems—or ...

This is the second of eight articles from our Nozzle Knowledge Series. Prefer to watch a video, click here. Flow rate, the volume of water passing through a nozzle, per unit of time, is clearly an ...
