Abstract
This paper studies the power needed to circulate heating water in building networks using different plastic pipes manufactured in Jordan. A suitable set up was designed and built for this purpose; the study included the effect of the rate of flow and the water temperature. On the basis of the results of pressure drop the pipes were divided as high quality and average quality pipes, prediction formulae for the friction factor of these two classes were derived, experimental results were compared with those predicted by the formulae and with additional published results. The effect of the pipe pressure drop on the pump's annual power consumption was illustrated using an actual application example.
