Hi,
I have a question regarding the heating system. I have a greenhouse, and the pipe 80mm enters and it branches off left and right for 25 meters. On each branch there is 30 smaller branches with loops 28mm each 60m long.
I have designed it with triple branch pipe to balance it hydraulically, so the last loop has the same head loss as the first one, as the water passes the same route length.
Now i know there is a principle, someone said to me the name maybe "Thinklemahn" or "Ticklemahn" where the pipes that feeds (the branch) the loops reduces in size gradually, and return pipe increases in size from the last loop towards the first loop and the main return pipe. Therefore we are using only two pipes instead of three.
Can anyone identify the principle for me, so i can Google it or find some link with info for me PLEASE?
Thanks all,
John
