Start with the loop boundary
Identify whether the component sits on the facility-water side, technology-cooling side or a dedicated equipment branch. The location changes the fluid, contamination and service assumptions.
Build the hydraulic brief
A useful request connects flow and pressure-drop constraints with connection size, orientation and available maintenance space.
- Design and minimum flow
- Normal and limiting temperature
- Allowable clean and service pressure drop
- Isolation and cleaning method
Release only traceable values
Model-specific dimensions, materials and performance values should come from the applicable approved drawing or datasheet, not from a similar product photograph.
