Lets do the Quick Caclulation
Inputs
Actul Flow in m3/hr ?
Design head MWC ?
Operating head MWC ?
Minimum Flow required for safer operating of the pump ?
How the by pass is maintained, using Orifice or control Valve ?
Let Boiler Steam flow rate is 31000 kg/hr
Flow
32.488 m3/hr X 1.05 (design factor) + Min. bypass flow via orifice = 40.87 m3/hr
Head
(Boiler pressure + pr. drop in system ) x 1.05 (design factor) = 207.38 MLC
