I don't see how I can get data for flow rates over the actual temperature range of the chiller tests Bill. Wouldn't that cause problems with the flowmeter I am using (GPI paddle wheel type)? I was thinking that the viscosity just represented another restriction to flow. So a room temperature pressure drop vs flow rate curve would still be relevant as long as it hit the range of pressure. If that isn't the case, wouldn't there be an eqn where I could take a room temp curve and come up with predicted curves as a function of temp?
