TOPIC: Beyond Balancing - Optimizing flow in Hydronic Systems

      BY: Victor Smith

 

Victor Smith is the Regional Leader of the Danfoss Energy Efficiency Team which is headquartered out of Baltimore, MD. He has 23 years of experience solving problems in the HVAC, Semiconductor and Chemical industries, Victor has a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering from the University of Florida.

Synopsis: Beyond Balancing

General Description:

Pressure Independent Temperature Control Valves (PICV) are specially designed to provide extremely precise control of Hydronic Heating and Cooling Systems by removing all outside influences on heat transfer cause by the system.  This allows the end-user to realize significant energy savings; through the elimination of “Low DeltaT Syndrome”.

Topics Covered:

  • Basics of traditional hydronic system balancing & why
  • Discussion of Automatic Flow Limiting
  • Pressure Independent Control Valve theory
  • Discussion of Heat Transfer and how to Match the Flow to the Load
  • Dynamic Flow Balancing
  • The inner workings of Pressure Independent Temperature Control Valves
  • Pressure Independent Control Valves in use today with historical data
  • Health Care and VAV reheat balancing
