Abstract

Explains how to design re-circulating heating and cooling water systems incorporating variable speed pumps utilising two alternative valve solutions: centralised valve modules and pressure independent control valves. Considers the main principles underlying the design of variable flow pipework systems, and provides two alternative approaches to system design: self-balancing arrangements and designs incorporating differential pressure control valves.
