Understanding Primary Secondary Pumping Part 2: Mixing Temperatures (and Flows!) in a Hydronic System
/By Chris Edmondson
What happens in a pipe when water of two different temperatures (and perhaps different flow rates) merge?
There’s a pretty straightforward formula that tells you exactly what the resultant water temperature will be. In this blog, we’ll go over that calculation, as well as take a closer look at how blended temperatures
Understanding Primary Secondary Pumping Part 1: Behold the Humble Tee!
/Are you involved in the design or installation of hydronic systems? Do you anticipate becoming involved?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, this blog series on primary/secondary pumping will interest you. If you are a hydronic’s veteran, feel free to skip the first few blogs in the series – they may be too much of a review. Better yet, pass them onto a junior associate and
Flow Balance Valve Location: Supply or Return Side of the Coil
/Most agree (including those of us at JMP) that flow balancing valves should be placed on the return side of coils whenever possible. Why? Because this location helps reduce air and noise problems within the system.
