3. Sizing
3.1 Input data required for sizing
In order to design a device adapted to the needs of the site, with controlled purchase and operating costs, you need to know :
the hourly quantity of heat to be removed Q (J/h) ;
cooling water flow rate q vr (m 3 /h) ;
-
the temperature drop of this water ΔT = T e2 – T e1 (K) ;
knowing that these three data are linked by the following relationship :
