The Importance of Correct Balancing Valve Sizes

摘要

Balancing contracts are often awarded on projects where the installation of mechanical systems is near completion or totally complete. In this situation the test and balance firm does not have the opportunity to review the mechanical drawings and recommend the type and location of balancing devices in order to balance the systems to the design specifications. In projects with hydronic systems, balancing valves are frequently not installed where required, or installed with improper sizing.
