Pressure loss in vacuum lines with water vapour

The diagram in fig. 1, is calculated from the formula:


Dp Pressure loss in mbar Dp Pressure loss in N/m K  Total resistance coefficient = S z = sum of individual resistance w Flow velocity in m/s r Density of the flowing Medium in kg/m

Calculation
Resistance coefficients

(1) Acceleration from 0 " w (2) I nlet contraction in the case of angular inlet (3) G  ate valve with full cross section Gate valve with constriction DIN straight-way valve DN 200 (4) Pipe bend D/d = 3; 90 (5) for pipe friction losses l = Pipe friction coefficient according to fig. 2 l = Pipe length in m d = Pipe diameter in m
Example

1.0 0.4 0.1 0.2 1 4.5 0.16

Error # 10% of Dp, if Dp 6 # p1

SL = Saturated line

K = S z = 3.64 Pressure loss from diagram, fig. 1

Determination of the pressure loss The pressure loss with air at the same temperature is 1.6 times greater.
