    This document discusses the sizing of pipes for evaporator make-up water and cooling tower make-up water. It determines that a 15mm schedule 40 seamless steel pipe with an internal diameter of 15.80mm should be used for the evaporator make-up water pipe, which requires 7.819mm of insulation. For the cooling tower make-up water pipe, the same size pipe can be used without insulation since the water temperature is lower than ambient.
