Example 1
(Ethylene Glycol)
:
The antifreeze solution is 20% by volume of Ethylene Gly-
col. Determine the corrected cooling capacity and water-
side pressure drop for a GEHBA018 when the EWT is 86 F
and the GPM is 4.2.
From the catalog data, the cooling capapcity at these condi-
tions with 100% water is 18.6 MBTUH, and the waterside
pressure drop is 6.0 feet of head. At 20% Ethylene Glycol,
the correction factor for cool capacity is 0.9912 and the
pressure drop is 1.068.
The corrected cooling capacity (MBTUH) = 18.6 * 0.9912 =
18.4. The corrected water side pressure drop (Ft. head) =
6.9 * 1.068 = 7.4.
Example 2
(Propylene Glycol)
:
The antifreeze solution is 30% by volume of Propylene
Glycol. Determine the corrected heating capacity and
waterside pressure drop for a GEHB042 when the EWT is
45 F and the GPM is 9.7.
From the catalog data, the heating capacity at these condi-
tions with 100% water is 36.7 MBTUH, and the waterside
pressure drop is 16.1 feet of head. At 30% Propylene Glycol,
the correction factor for heat capacity is 0.9603 and the pres-
sure drop is 1.174.
The corrected cooling capacity (MBTUH) = 36.7 * 0.9603 =
35.2. The corrected water side pressure drop (Ft. head) =
16.1 * 1.174 = 18.9.
