Typical chilled water hydronic systems use pumps to circulate the water through the network and control the flow with a series of balancing and control valves.
The most common arrangements are variable primary, or constant flow primary with variable flow secondary circuits, with balancing and control valves controlling the flow to the zones or CRAW units.
With Grundfos Distributed Pumping the control valves are replaced with intelligent circulation pumps. By removing the valves, we reduce the resistance in the system using the pumps to deliver the required water quantity at the required pressure.
Distributed pumping is more than replacing valves with pumps - it's a new method of efficiently distributing flow through a network, reducing energy consumption, simplifying system balancing and improving delta T.
Grundfos intelligent pumps and controls deliver the optimal combination of pumps, drives and auxiliary components for the specific application, incorporating special features and functions and building on application knowledge and experience.
Grundfos solutions make integration of pumps, drives, measurement, controls and communication easy, saving you valuable engineering, installation and commissioning time.
