Hi there,would like to know why low loss headers are designed with a max velocity of .5 M/s,the other question would be why is the diameter 3 times the diameter of the secondary pipework & for what reason?Is there a calculation for this or just a rule of thumb,if a calculation does exist could someone please explain in detail what the figures are what they represent.
The company i work for don't really tell me much about the techi side of things,one job we are doing at the moment comprises of a header with flow/return from boiler feeding into each end,off of this we have 3 heating zones with flow & return for each circuit piped very close to each other,surely the last zone would be fed with water cooler than flow temperature from boiler.Not much info on the so thought i would ask you peeps.
Sorry for long post.
