System Water Volume Calculation

The total volume of water of the installation from pipe lengths, boilers and heaters.

The total amount of water in the installation should be known for the choice of expansion tank, the dosage of antifreeze or anti-corrosion chemicals, and the filling time. In this tool, enter the total pipe length for each pipe diameter; add the water volume of the boiler and elements such as radiators, heat exchangers, tanks, etc.

Formula

V = Σ (π · di² / 4 · Li) + Vboiler + Vother

di: the inner diameter of the selected pipe standard (EN 10255 or DIN 2448).

Example

An installation consisting of 200 m DN20, 80 m DN32, 40 m DN50 and 20 m DN80 pipes contains approximately 347 L of water in the pipes. With a 600 L boiler and 900 L of radiators, the total is 1,847 L .

You can calculate the expansion tank with the value you find. You can consult Çiftel Kazan engineers for your boiler room and installation project.
