Determination Optimum Pipe Diameter Method of Tree Path Heating Pipe Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

Economy and hydraulic stability of piping network which has a fixed structure depend on the matching ability of pipe diameter. In order to improving the matching ability and maneuverability of selecting pipe diameter, a new design method is presented. A real case study shows that the piping network which is designed with the new method has excellent technical quality and the least life cycle costs, and can achieve saving more than 7 percent against the original design.
