Best Practices for Hydronic Systems Part 9: Three Valves Every Centrifugal Pump Needs

All centrifugal pumps in HVAC applications should be equipped with a shut-off valve, check valve, and a balance valve. Or, as an alternative, you can choose a valve that….

Why PIC Valves Aren’t the Best Choice for Area Control with ASHRAE Recommended DP Reset

In our last blog, we cautioned against using pressure independent control (PIC) valves when attempting to apply area control with reset. But why is that a problem? Aren’t PIC valves the greatest thing since microwave ovens?...

Manual Versus Automatic Balance in a Variable Speed Pump Control System

We’ve talked about manual versus automatic balancing methods and we’ve talked about curve control versus area control. Now it’s time to consider the balance valve type impact on the pump control area. Let’s start this conversation with a question...

Balancing Options for Systems with Variable Speed Pump Control

Last week we learned that ASHRAE defines a balanced system as one that delivers a flow sufficient to achieve a 97% heat transfer at each coil. This week will look at why we balance and outline the strategies that are ...
