SUMMARY
The optimal pipe size for achieving a continuous flow of 120 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) at 5 psi above duct pressure in a Coen Duct Burner System is critical for efficient combustion. Given the duct pressure of 3 inches water column (inwc) and the air supply capabilities of 120 psi and 400 scfm, a careful calculation of pipe diameter is necessary. The discussion emphasizes the importance of balancing flow and pressure to ensure effective mixing of air for combustion. Specific calculations and considerations regarding pipe length and diameter are essential for optimal performance.
