Hydraulic Characteristics

Estimated bed expansion and pressure drop are shown in Figures 1 and 2 respectively, as functions of backwash/service flowrate and temperature. These estimations are valid at the start of the service run with clean water and a well-classified bed.

• Backwash Expansion (Figure 1): Temperature range 10 – 60°C (50 – 140°F).
• Pressure Drop (Figure 2): Temperature range 10 – 60°C (50 – 140°F).
