30 Purpose of Pumping Systems Transport sufficient water through the piping system at the minimum differential pressure that will satisfy all connected loads at different load conditions 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 30

31 Why balanced flow is important? Drawback of unbalanced system: Cannot meet the design flow and capacity at the air terminal unit Waste energy Short circuit (hydronic) Chiller hunting 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 31

32 How to balance the system? Add Balancing Device Fixed orifice Manual balancing valves Constant flow valve Pressure Independent control valve Remember Flow rate Q = C v A ΔP 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 32

33 Method 1 & 2 The manual balancing valve (Similar as orifice) Is an adjustable orifice - not a flow controller. Must be manually adjusted according to pressure differential. Introduces manual error into system performance ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 33

34 The manual balancing valve adjustment Requires special equipment and training on procedure. Have to access valves on-site in ceilings etc. Commissioning after installation, system filling, & pump commissioning. Requires time for commissioning. Difficult to re-balance if the project completion will be in staged or modified 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 34

35 The manual balancing act As a manual valve is adjusted, it not only changes the coil flow, it changes the total flow in the common pipe. The pressure differentials and flows across parallel circuits are upset and then must be re-adjusted. It will be a static system, cannot response to a dynamic or variable flow system Pressure differential & flow across the valve increased 1 Valve throttled & flow reduced Common pipe flow & pressure loss will be reduced 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 35

36 Branch and risers in Manual balancing system Don t forget those additional regulating valves: Branches Risers 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 36

37 Method 1 & 2 The manual balancing valve (Similar as orifice) Flow rate Q = C v A ΔP After commissioning or adjustment of the manual balancing valves, the Cv and A (area) of each valve is fixed. The flow rate will then be pressure dependent ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 37

38 Method 3 Constant Flow valve Characteristic Below the control range the cartridge is a fixed orifice & flow can be varied by a 2 way control valve In the dp control range, flow is limited to design +/-5% Differential Pressure (dp) Range Maximum kpad Range Minimum kpad 0 Flow 0 Design Maximum 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 38

39 By using constant flow valve PRO Less valves (not required in branch and riser) Reduce T&C work and time CON Flow modulating depend on control valves in part load Not fully dynamic balancing system Either in 2-way or 3-way control valves system 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 39

40 Method 3 Constant Flow valve Flow rate Q = C v A ΔP After installation of the constant flow valves, the (Cv A) of each valve will compensate the variation of the ( ΔP). The flow rate will then be kept constant. However, it is suitable for the constant flow application like, Constant flow chillers and pumps Most of the FCU application (constant flow) 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 40

41 Method 4 Pressure Independent Control Valve Pressure independent control valve Function:- 1. System pressure independent 2. Flow rate Modulating control 3. Pre-set maximum flow 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 41

42 Pressure Independent Control Valve Characteristic valve will then hold the flow rate constant regardless of the change in pressure differential. Flow rate varies according to the temp controller or DDC input signal (2-10V or 4-20mA) Pre-set Maximum flow for each AHU 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 42

43 System using Pressure Independent Control valve Characteristic Less valves, combine the control function. Elimination of branch balancing valves & reverse return pipe work. Valve authority = 100% Pre-set the max flow of each AHU and save lot of time in commissioning work. No need to re-balance the system even the project is staged or modified ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 43

44 Method 4 Pressure Independent Control Valve Flow rate Q 1% Q 100% = (C v A) ΔP After installation of the pressure independent control valves, the (Cv A) of each valve will compensate the variation of the ( ΔP) at various load at any time. The flow rate will then be pressure independent, only temperature / load dependent It is suitable for most of the modulating control applications, AHUs Precise flow control FCUs 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 44

45 What happen when the system is in part load? The pumping system will be required to operate under various load conditions Variable flow system differential pressures throughout the system will be dynamic. Hydronic systems should be hydraulically modeled to design for full load and part load performance 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 45

46 System at Part load 60% load 83% load 31% load OFF 100% load Coil Coil Coil Coil Coil Flow rate required for each AHU or branch is varying all the time 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 46

47 What happen in typical Control valve for part load condition Valve must be perfectly sized to provide exact resistance for pressure differential when fully open to provide design flow 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 47

48 Typical Control valve for part load Typical Control Valve is Pressure Dependence Standard 2 way valves vary opening area only but not flow. As pressure differential varies, the flow varies. Q = dp * Orifice constant 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 48

49 Control valve for part load Once below design flow, as each 2-way control valve reduces flow, it increases the pressure differential and flows across parallel circuits. System pressure varies affect the flowrate passing through valves and coils The temperature is then altered due to the pressure fluctuation. T Time 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 49

52 Balancing Considerations in Variable Flow Systems Too large a balancing valve pressure drop will affect the performance and flow characteristic of the control valve. ASHRAE 2003 Applications Handbook, page ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 52

53 Balancing Considerations in Variable Flow Systems Options to Consider No manual balancing valves at coils Automatic differential pressure control to reduce differential pressure Pressure-independent control valves (with Flowrate pre-set function) Options NOT to Consider: Balancing valves for variable speed pumps 2007 ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter Slide 53
