Determine Flow rate for pipeline

In summary, the conversation is about determining the flow rates for two piping systems in an IVF lab, one for CO2 and the other for a Nitrogen/Oxygen mixture. The person is looking for assistance in finding the flow rates and pressure requirements for specific equipment models. They are advised to contact the equipment manufacturers for this information.

Determine Flow rate for pipeline !

Hi all

I want to design two piping system for IVF (In vitro fertilisation) Lab.

That first pipeline carries CO2 and the other one carries Nitrogen/Oxygen Mixture.

The problem that encounters me is to determine the flow rates form the equipment for the two piping systems.


*CO2 piping system equipment info:

Model: Galaxy 170 R Incubators
Website: http://www.nbsc.com/galaxy_r.aspx
CATALOG: see attachments​


*Nitrogen/Oxygen piping system equipment info:

Model: K Minc 1000 Incubator
Website: http://www.cookmedical.com/wh/dataSheet.do?id=5403
CATALOG: see attachments​




Could someone please find the flow rates required for each equipment and the pressure required at the inlet.

Thank you for your assistance

Hi ameeno,

It sounds like you're asking what flow rates are required for specific bits of equipment that you're purchasing. Why isn't that something that the equipment manufacturers are giving you? If you wanted to determine the diameter of the pipe or pressure losses, that would be a question you might ask an engineer on this board, but if you're asking for information about a piece of equipment you're purchasing, you need to ask the supplier.
 

What is flow rate?

Flow rate is the volume of fluid that passes through a pipeline or any other system per unit time. It is typically measured in units of volume per time, such as gallons per minute or cubic meters per hour.

How is flow rate determined for a pipeline?

Flow rate for a pipeline is determined by measuring the volume of fluid that passes through a specific point in the pipeline over a certain period of time. This can be done using flow meters, which measure the velocity of the fluid, or by using pressure differential measurements.

What factors affect the flow rate in a pipeline?

The flow rate in a pipeline can be affected by a variety of factors, including the diameter of the pipeline, the viscosity and density of the fluid, and the pressure and temperature of the system. Other factors such as obstructions or bends in the pipeline can also impact the flow rate.

Why is it important to determine flow rate for a pipeline?

Determining flow rate for a pipeline is important for several reasons. It can help ensure that the pipeline is operating efficiently and within its designed capacity. It can also be used to identify any potential issues or blockages in the pipeline that may affect its performance. Additionally, accurate flow rate measurements are crucial for billing purposes and for maintaining the safety and integrity of the pipeline.

Can the flow rate in a pipeline be changed?

Yes, the flow rate in a pipeline can be changed by adjusting the pressure or other operating conditions of the system. However, changing the flow rate can also have implications for the overall performance and efficiency of the pipeline, so it should be done carefully and with consideration of all relevant factors.
