I was curious what effect different components had on system pressure and flow, so I put together a little MS Excel calculator that should account for multiple nozzle/checkvalve systems. The calculator only calculates one nozzle at a time, but the pressure should be equalized to give correct results.

Inputs are pump pressure, boost pressure, number of check valves (pre and post turbo), number of solenoids (post turbo only), check valve opening pressure (assuming all check valves in system are the same), and rated nozzle flow at 100psi.

Outputs are nozzle pressure and corrected nozzle flow (both GPH and cc/min).

Take a look at it...let me know what you think (a major error isn't out of the realm of possibilities)....this is still version 1.

 

Any feedback?
