Pump Head Calculation Guide

The document discusses pump head calculation for selecting the appropriate pump for a hydronic system. It provides information on valve types and their common functions like on/off, regulation, unidirectional flow, and filtration. It also discusses the typical position of valves in equipment like pumps, AHUs, and chillers. The document then shows an example system layout and provides step-by-step calculation of pressure losses through pipes, fittings, machines and valves to determine the total pump head required.

PUMP HEAD CALCULATION
• Calculation of total pressure drop that
developed in pipe network
• Pressure drop is developed due to friction
• Pump head calculation doing for the selection
of pump
• When we are calculating pump head we have
to do pressure drop calculation for all
components in hydronic system
Components in Hydronic system
• PIPES
• MACHINES
• VALVES
• FITTINGS

• FOR SELECTION OF PUMP WE REQUIERD
