Heat Xfer Requirements

• Max differential pressure:– Across Clinac=6psi– Across

chiller=4.1psi

• Flow rate across piping=4.3GPM

• 30kW heat dissapation req’d

Heat Xfer Constraints

• Flexible tubing for piping – Fit in confined spaces– Allows for flexible placement of heat xfer

components

• Maintenance considerations– Access to essential components (ie: pump,

reservoir tank) easier– Isolation valves
