The design of networks is primarily a calculated pressure losses , and a search of the pump will work best to ensure the desired flow.

The sizing of ventilation or water systems , determines energy consumption, costs of operation. Maintenance and installation cost are determined by the pump impeller or fan installed, but also through the energy consumption of ducts .The pipe sizes depending on the flow imposed , Determine pressure losses and hence the power consumption of the pump / blower or energy returned to the water turbine.

When the network is complex and that the fluid can take several paths, it opt for the easiest way (with the least pressure losses ). To ensure it can control the flow after a fork , a valve should be placed to adjust the flow as we want.a network adjustment is expected after installation vannes.

The parameters of a network Pumping or Turbine are studied with mecaflux simply tab through pump and turbine. Your settings flow , pressure losses cavitation , useful power , power consumption , yield , hydrostatic ... are updated with each change of your data.

The parameters of a network Pumping or Turbine are studied with mecaflux.(tab "pump and turbine"). Your settings flow , pressure losses, cavitation , useful power , power consumption , yield , hydrostatic ... are updated with each change of your data.

In this tab you enter the energy losses calculated in your network or turbine pump to assess the power of your pump, check cavitation or evaluate power a turbine will return ....
