Proper Balance Valve Sizing and Branch Balancing Valves

摘要

One of the most important elements of any hydronic system is proper balancing. This is to ensure that the correct water flow be available to maintain design temperature at each area served by the heating and cooling system. Balancing valves are frequently used improperly, making them practically useless to the controlling of water flow, despite appearances. This article will discuss balance valve selection, branch balancing valves, and maximizing the pumping system by using only the energy necessary to properly satisfy temperature needs.
