Flow rate of pump from sump>chiller>main?

[Athier]

Hi guys, im planning to have a pump from

sump to hailea 300a chiller then to main tank.

From sump to chiller abt 90cm, from chiller

to a shoulder piping abt 70cm then up to return.

Anyone has similar set up and can advise the recommended

flow rate of pump to be used? Im thinking of 3500-4000l/hr..

Not sure whether it is fine. Can advise?

Thanks guys

If possible get independent pump for chiller alone

May i know the reason bro?

I think mayb its bcoz if the pump is down, at least the circulation and filtration is still on between

the sump and main.

you can run the chiller together with your main pump, and maybe you would like to add a wave maker as well in case the pump fail and there is still circulation in the water.

Ideally, the chiller pump should be run Interdependently since having a correct flow will enhance the efficiency of the chiller. i.e ; too strong a pump through , the chiller will kick in more often, too slow a pump flow the chiller will kick in run longer than it should ect.. Maybe you can monitor for some time and see.

Thanks. Im visualising what harlequin saying.

Yes...

If the flow too fast then chiller = runs longer n work harder till reach set temp.

Meaning chiller runs & my house will get very warm during that cycle.

If flow too slow then chiller = runs shorter time and h2o cool down faster to set temp.

Yes ideally it has to be according to the specs of the chiller required flowrate

This is to prolong the lifespan and let efficiency for the chiller.

I hope other bros that are running pump from sump> chiller > main tank could share here.

Thanks tropic n harlequin. Im flowing with few ideas now.
