What Size Pipe is Needed for Optimal Air Flow in a Coen Duct Burner System?

Click For Summary
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.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles

Hello, I have a Coen Duct burner system that requires a continuous flow of 120 scfm @ 5psi above duct pressure. Duct pressure is about 3 inwc. We have 6 pilots that will have a 1/2" inlet for the air. Our plant air system can supply 120psig and about 400 scfm. My issue is figuring out what size pipe I will need to run in order to obtain the 120 scfm @ 5psi. Also should i be more concerned with flow or pressure since this will be mixing air for combustion.
