    Aluminium vs Galvanized steel

    The only data that i have is the one i gave. I haven't specifications other than the aluminium: AlMgSi.... Thanks

    Aluminium vs Galvanized steel

    strider6, Thanks for the reply and for all the references! But, can you give me a straight answer for now? Thanks!

    Aluminium vs Galvanized steel

    Hi, I have a doubt related to PV pannels structures, to be installed near the sea. I want to know witch material is more resistant to corrosive environment: aluminium or galvanized steel? Is there any quick reference or a technical document, where i can find this and more about coatings in...

    Series pump intsallation

    Dear Artsi, No, this is not related to that post. This is why i've created a new one. I know that this solution applied for the other case was a stupid solution, because the problem could stay the same or become even worst and cause problems... Thanks anyway! Dear whoowho, The pump is not...

    Series pump intsallation

    The problem is that the pumps avaiable in the market are to large to fit in the avaiable area...they are larger...

    Series pump intsallation

    hi, I have an installation where the pumps avaiable in the market for that purpouse do not reach the head that i need to overcome the circuit pressure loss. Therefore, i wonder if i could install another pump after this 1st one. Do you think that i need to leave some space between them or even...

    Circuit pressure

    Thank you all for the replies! I'm more concerned about the air. Tha guy how made the installation used a filling pump witch has the possibility to remove the air durin the system filling. So, for this reason, he did not install an air purger at the top of the circuit. I wonder if some air...

    Circuit pressure

    I everyone. It can not be rats or gloves, etc, because is a 15mm pipe. The pump is installed correctly. I've attached a scheme. I'm quite lost. The 1st think that i thought is to change the pump, but i'm affraid that may not be this the reason...

    Circuit pressure

    BigInch, It's quite complicate to draw now a schem, but i understand what is your point. You want to confirm if my calculations were correct. Let's assume yes and if we don't find a reasonable reason, then we assume that was my failure. Thanks

    Circuit pressure

    MikeHalloran, In the top of the circuit. But now it is closed, because the circuit was filled and removed all the air. BigInch Ok. That was my cnclusion. But what is the possible reason? Thank you both!

    Circuit pressure

    Hi, I'm facing the following problem: in the project, i've calculated the pressure drop along a closed circuit. The calculations gave me aprox. 3,5 mH2O of pressure drop. This was calculated for a optimal flow of 240 lt/h. After the installation was made, the max flow that the pump was able to...

    Check valve head loss

    Thanks BigInch, Now i understood perfectly what you said! One last thing: isn't this elevation loss consideration included in the total height elevation between the lower and upper point of the pipe, used to calculate also the pump head needed? Thanks once more

    Check valve head loss

    Thanks for the replies. I'm a bit confused about the answers. Normally i use the formula that i use with any local loss, wich includes that Cv factor that BingInch mentioned. My doubt, and that was yet clarified, is related to this factor. Does it change if we consider vertical or horizontal...

    Check valve head loss

    So, how can i calculate the pressure loss in a check valve installed vertically?
