Hydronic system balancing is one of the more complicated tasks faced by building services engineers and, historically, heating and chilled water systems were only balanced by specialist engineers. However, with the availability of dynamic balancing products there is an increasing opportunity to simplify the process, cut costs and improve system efficiency. Despite these obvious benefits, some engineers are reluctant to fully embrace dynamic balancing technology - often simply because the terminology used in specifying systems differs from person to person and the numerous short-hands used can be confusing.
