Selecting control and balancing valves in a variable flow system

Journal Article · · ASHRAE Journal
OSTI ID:516695
This article describes the design and selection of control and balancing valves in a hydronic variable flow system consisting of 100 load terminals for providing cooling to a building. The author addresses approaching a linear terminal emission over the valve operating range, minimizing pump head and operating horsepower, proportioning the flow to each terminal and zone, balancing tests, and instrumentation.
