Do you have more specs than just 350,000 BTU/h? At what temperatures, flows, etc?


I have done these sorts of calculations for piston aircraft engines- I *might* be able to help.

I bought a 350,000 BTU heat exchanger and you can see my diagram below. I figure I’ll spend a small fortune in fittings and hoses but throughput is gonna be the name of the game. Assuming this cools adequately keeping it flowing is next priority.

It does have a shut off valve on 1.25” water inlet to strainer, to pump, to various fittings. I’m running the biggest hoses I can think of and utilizing both sides of elbows in/out to promote quick circulation.

I have a friend that runs the biggest cooling, refrigeration hvac (grocery stores etc freezers and a/c) for the island/state. He did some math and recommended this setup. But between us, I have no clue of this will work. Only one way to find out I suppose.
