SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the length of copper pipe (diameter 22mm) required to heat water in a "kolam" to 45 degrees Celsius using a heat pump operating at 55 degrees Celsius. The heat pump has a water flow rate of 1 cubic meter per hour. A reference document was provided, which may contain relevant formulas for this calculation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of heat transfer principles

Hello,

I need help to calculate the length of pipe in copper (d=22mm) to get the water in "kolam" to be 45 degree celsius and the heat pump temp is 55 degree celsius, heat pump water flow is about 1 meter cubic per hours, any simple formulas ?

thank you for help
