    1) The document calculates the required pipe sizes for air blowers supplying oxygen to cells 5-8 based on oxygen demand, number of diffusers, and air flow rates. 2) Pipe size calculations are shown for the main header and distribution headers to each cell based on air flow rate and recommended velocity ranges. 3) The largest pipe size calculated is 1000mm for the main header supplying all cells, with smaller pipes ranging from 300mm to 1000mm for distribution headers to individual cells.

    The document describes the methodology to calculate air flow requirements and size pipes for an oxygen distribution system in aquaculture.

    The air flow calculation methodology involves determining the actual air flow based on factors like ambient temperature, heat gain through blowers and heat loss in mains.

    The air distribution system involves components like common and distribution headers, actuated valves, flexible hoses, blowers and thermal mass flowmeters.
