Model & approach
- Model line sections and connection components with common balance surfaces
- Combine throughput and temperature states into traceable system characteristics
Project case / Customer-independent
Temperature-dependent pressure loss in liquid circuits
Several internal-flow assignments combined lines, couplings and cleaning paths into temperature-dependent resistance characteristics for complete liquid circuits.
Engineering question
Local component losses, pipe friction and temperature-dependent properties had to be balanced consistently so parts remained comparable in the real system context.
Boundary conditions
- Liquid flow with temperature-dependent properties
- Several line, coupling and operating variants
Results of the assessment
- Fluid properties and local geometry losses shaped the resistance characteristic together.
- Systematic balancing exposed which components governed each operating state.
Engineering consequence
The characteristics supported section sizing, component comparison and the pressure-loss budget of the complete circuit.
