Ammonia Liquid Pressure Drop Calculation

The document provides calculations to determine the pressure drop of an ammonia liquid system operating at 1.25 kg/cm2 and -33°C, flowing at 62.26 m3/hr through a strainer with a 12 inch nozzle, 300mm diameter element, and 40 mesh screen. It calculates the individual pressure drops of the nozzle, screen, and porous plate, finding a total initial pressure drop of 0.00498 kg/cm2 and 50% clogged pressure drop, then confirms this meets the required pressure drop of 0.1500 kg/cm2.
