This study was carried out to establish an analytical method on the open circuit seawater pipeline network for open rack vaporizers(ORVs). The linear theory method was chosen to solve this network system. In particular, the method was modified to calculate the static pressure at each node and to determine the operating condition of each pump with the mean static pressure of pumps and ORVs. The proposed method is the first report demonstrating that can be used as a solver for the complicated open circuit. Also, the method indicated the importance for exactly calculating equivalent length of pipes including valves, bends, fittings, and others to raise the accuracy. Although this technique is good for solving this system, it is still required to improve the convergence rate.
