Pressure Loss Example

This document provides a pressure loss calculation for a condensate return system with 13 items. It lists the line items with details like size, material, elevation and calculates the pressure drop and exit pressures. The total pressure drop is 346,999 Pa with 73.1% from elevation changes and 26.9% from line friction. References for recommended condensate line slopes are also provided. The required pump head is calculated as 36.9 m WG with a 20% margin of 44.3 m WG.
