Pressure loss versus speed in suction line
Would like your opinion on this: when calculating a suction line, we must take in account a certain speed to ensure oil return (I take 8 m/s or 26ft/s) and a max allowable pressure drop of 2K.
What if you have a long line and speed is already at it's minimum (5 m/s or 16 ft/s) but max allowable pressure drop is 4K?It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
