Why balance?


Arguments for balancing in variable flow systems
(in variable flow systems, balancing is made at design condition. By avoiding underflow in this condition, underflows are avoided at all other conditions).

1. Balancing improves the comfort by preventing local underflows and by ensuring flow compatiblity.

2. Balancing for design flows enables the plant to perform to specification (i.e. makes the installed power deliverable) and makes the HVAC investment pay off.

3. Balancing valves shorten the start up time by preventing favoured circuits from stealing the flow. This way, balancing valves improve comfort and save energy.

4. The balancing procedure helps detect construction errors, allowing you to correct them when it does not cost so much (that is, before tenants move in).

5. Balancing is the only way to reveal pump oversizing, allowing you to optimize the pump head. This way, balancing helps reduce pumpig costs.

6. Balancing valves are diagnostics tools. By measuring differential pressure and water flow you'll find the cause of many operational problems.
