Abstract
Explains how to design re-circulating heating or cooling water systems incorporating variable speed pumps. Describes the main issues relevant to any variable flow design, including how to calculate pump energy savings, size control valves (where applicable), and avoiding valve noise or cavitation in valves. Also presents two cost-effective solutions for designing variable flow heating and cooling systems which should achieve worthwhile pump energy savings without compromising the effectiveness of temperature controls.
