Determine Flow rate for pipeline

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the flow rates for two piping systems in an IVF lab, specifically for CO2 and a Nitrogen/Oxygen mixture. The user seeks assistance in finding the required flow rates and inlet pressure for the Galaxy 170 R and K Minc 1000 incubators. A response suggests that the user should consult the equipment manufacturers for this information, as it is typically provided by suppliers. Additionally, it is noted that inquiries about pipe diameter or pressure losses may be more appropriate for engineering discussions. Accurate flow rate data is essential for proper system design and functionality.

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

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.
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
