Glycol in Heating and Cooling Systems – What are the Implications?
Glycol is a substance commonly used in heating and cooling systems for its freeze protection capabilities.
In this blog, we will discuss what glycol is, why it’s used in heating and cooling systems, and how it affects system calculations.
The Correlation Between Water Temperature and Friction Loss in Water Pipes
Commonly known factors in pressure loss calculations include the flow rate of the water, the pipe diameter, and the velocity of the water.
However, it is important to understand the other factors too.
What is hard water?
Hard water is caused by high levels of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, in the water.
Water picks up these minerals as they pass through rock formations, such as limestone or gypsum, which are rich in calcium and magnesium.
