From, Evaporator temperature correction factor, Principles of Refrigeration
by Roy, J, Dossat, page, 539
For a specific gravity of 1.175 or 1.18 and 15.8 0F (-9 0C) Brine temperature, the
Brine correction factor by interpolation is equal to 1.392.

From table 15-2, Resistance to flow of water through fairly rough pipe,
Principles of Refrigeration by Roy J. Dossat, page 317.
For a flow rate of 0.00044 m3/sec or 6.97 gal/min and 25 mm (1 in.) pipe, the
pressure drop per 100 lineal feet is equal to 8 psi.
Therefore,
8 psi 1 ft of H 2 O
H f 548.9 ft x 1.392 x 61.13 psi x 141 ft of H 2 O
100 ft 0.4335 psi
H f 42.99 m of H 2 O
For a flow rate of 0.00044 m3/sec or 6.97 gal/min and 20 mm (3/4 in.) pipe, the
pressure drop per 100 lineal feet is equal to 6 psi.
Therefore,
6 psi 1 ft of H 2 O
H f 519.06 ft x 1.392 x 43.35 psi x 100 ft of H 2 O
100 ft 0.4335 psi
H f 30.49 m of H 2 O
