Pressure losses

Pressure loss in the high-pressure flushing hose (3)

The pressure loss in the high-pressure flushing hose can be reduced by adding flow accelerators. These are liquid substances that change the viscosity of water so that friction losses are minimized.

The effect that can be achieved in this way is illustrated in the following example for hose lengths of 120 m and 240 m. The engine output constitutes the reference value of 100% [Ney2003].
