Composite Piping Layout and DesignUnderstanding the function and friction loss of each part of the piping system is important to the layout and successfulinstallation of a chilled liquid solution system.1-2-3-4-5-6-7-2-Way Liquid Solution Control ValvesBypass ValveStorage TankExpansion TankCoilChillerPumpThe circulation pump is the key performer in the piping system. The pump must circulate the liquid solution through theheat exchanger and piping system to the air handlers. Pumps are designed to deliver a flow rate measured in gallonsper minute(GPM). The pump must be able to overcome the resistance to flow (pressure drop) imposed by the chillercomponents, piping system and air handlers while maintain the necessary flow rates in gallons per minute. Pumpcapacities in gallons per minute and pressure drop (feet of head) are listed in table 1.An adjustable valve must be used to throttle the discharge liquid solution flow rate to appropriate levels basedon capacity and glycol mix percentages.Table 1Chiller System DataMAC SeriesMin.
