Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0795724A1] The balancing of incompressible fluid flow rates in a two tube (flow and return) network with several diversion branches consists of breaking down the installation into elementary networks. Each of these has a main pressure regulator (2) and a pressure regulator (3) in each branch. Pressure tappings are located either side the branch regulator and a third pressure tapping is located at a distance from these. Measurement of the flow rate in a particular branch is obtained by measuring the pressure difference either side the pressure regulator. The pressure difference obtained by measuring the third pressure tapping and one of the other two tappings is also taken. From these pressure difference values the coefficient of hydraulic resistance (Z) of the branch is calculated. Coefficients are calculated for each branch in the same way.
